If you were terminally ill, lying on your hospital bed and someone told you about God and eternal salvation if you accepted him into your life, would you accept him? Be honest now.

If I was terminally ill and someone started spouting on about "god" I would tell them where to go. If your "god" needs to be worshipped in order for you to have eternal salvation, then "he" is one messed up freak!

No. If God was a merciful God then he will accept you whether or not you believe in him. If he doesn't accept you for the sole fact that you don't believe, then he is not merciful and eternity with him, someone with such a huge ego, would be torture.
This has come up so many times that it even has its own name: Pascal's wager.

In all honestly I fundamentally do not believe Christianity is correct not only about the afterlife, but about its basic fundamental theology.
You could ask me on my death bed what is 2+2 and my answer will be four. Even if I wanted to I cannot believe it was five and neither can I believe in Christianity.

No------------why should I? I already believe in G-d and I do not worry about what happens after death. It is all a part of the life process. It's the Jesus bit that is beyond me. G-d is G-d and G-d is One. How can anyone say that G-d would come to earth as a human being?-------never!

I have just dealt with this question. I have been in a position of bleeding to death on a mountain side and I did not pray just got on with the job of saving my own life as I knew there was no god who was going to do it for me

no
I dont believe that Jesus is my saviour
I know all about Christianity
it doesnt make sense for me and I have other beliefs
now if I told you about spirit communication and that we would ALL be saved in the next life
would you accept that ?

No. Because I don't believe in it, and me dying would bring me closer to my own religion, not one that I have no connection with.
And if someone was preaching their dogma to me on my deathbed, I'd ask them to leave.

No.
Why would I spend my last days believing in a lie?
Not a very happy way to go...
