On your deathbed, you long for the final embrace to meet the lord... You feel the world going darker and darker... and you expect an ethereal helping hand appear and gently lead your soul to the final resting place, basking in the glory of your god. At anytime now, you expect to see a light at the end of a tunnel, a sign that this is not a dead end, that you have deserved a place in the most coveted place in the universe by dedicating an exemplary loyalty and faith to your religion.
And in the split second before the very end, you realize that there is nothing after all... and that it is much too late to change anything... That it has all been in vain.
Isn´t it better to go with the idea that there is nothing more? To be thinking of all the good things that have happened in your life and die with dignity, fullfilled and content, instead of expecting more and not getting any?

Did someone just say "Get behind me, Satan!" to you in all seriousness?

Non-Believers... Wouldn´t it be the ultimate disappointment, the cruelest joke IF?...?

If I didn't have the Bible and the Jewish people, then you might make some sense. But I tell you now, man didn't write the Bible and the Jews returned to their land just as God's Word described that they would return. On the day, May 15, 1948, as the Bible described that they would return, speaking the same Hebrew language which was never lost and a nation born in one day as the Bible described. Too many fulfilled prophesies for me to cast aside the Holy Bible. Also they are returning on wings of eagles which prophets saw as airplanes but could not describe them but wings of eagles.
The Bible is the most contested book of all time and it has withstood the test of time and nothing you a mere man can say will change the true believers in Jesus Christ. Do you honestly think we care for man's dignity, man's pride or man's ways? We follow the Lord, our protection and our provision.
Blessed be the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Well THAT makes no sense. Wouldn't it be the other way around? Besides - that's really not the way it will be. I'd take my chances living for the Lord all my life in peace and contentment, satisfied knowing He's in control of my life, I don't have to worry or despair. Better having a perspective like that before the lights go out than finding at the end that He does exist and it's too late to accept Him. katiefish <><

This is the way I look at it:
If I believe in God and follow his word and when I die, I find out it was all not real (just a myth), I have lost nothing, but if I deny him, and do what I feel like and I die and find out there is a God..........I HAVE LOST EVERYTHING!
I think I will opt for the first option. I don't need to be a rocket scientist to figure that out!

Is this the inverse of Pascal's Wager?
I think all the theists need to take a drink.

but what if there is more and you lock yourself into not getting in on it by thinking there is no more?
