Lots of stuff going on in this thread.
I wonder why people started believing in God in the first place.
It could be the Dead Sea Scrolls and all the other stories are true.
Or, it could be as Big Jim says; a bunch of made up stories to bamboozle folks.

I don't know one way or the other.
What I do know is the prospect of ceasing to exist scares the crap out of me. Actually scares is probably not the right description. It just confounds me to a point of distraction.

For one thing I have no idea what "heaven" or the "after life" is supposed to be like.
Will we be floating around up in the clouds like a mist, a spiritual being? Will we be here on this planet with something resembling ourselves? Maybe another world?

Actually the idea of not being me is really hard to grasp. I mean what happens to my truck? or my Motorcycle? I don't want to give those things up.
What about my guitar? will I still be able to play it if I'm a spirit? I won't have any fingers.
Hell I probably won't be able to hear it either, I won't have any ears.

Of course we could also become one of a collective, everyone combined into one big happy critter. But that wouldn't be any fun. I like being different.

I am not sure what is supposed to happen to Satan. I reckon he will be dead. Or something. Are we supposed to be part of a God's Army and kill all the bad guys or is God gonna do it on his own. I really don't relish the idea of going to war with a demon. I think they could be pretty vicious.

In any case I guess I'll find out soon enough. My time on this miserable rock is running out.
I don't relish the idea of being dead but at least I'll be able to quit thinking about it.

Humans are cursed with being the only critters on the planet that have to use toilet paper, pay taxes, and know they are going to die.

Live long and prosper folks.
