If on the other hand, you are an atheist and there does turn out to be heaven and hell... then boy, you screwed up.
Makes sense to me.
Another thing- I don't care how far you take the macro evolution theory. There has to have been a point where there was a jump from no life to life. It is scientically impossible to have happened by itself. People will sidestep this question and other questions, but how on Earth was life created? I've heard so many "the lightning struck the primordial sea and caused the amino acids to...." etc. etc. I just have to laugh now. I won't even get into what a stretch it is that humans, animals and plants all come from a common ancestor. This is not science, and it's far more improbable than the existence of God. Seriously.
"It seems to me if you felt your whole life you were being guided by God and then you find out he doesn't exist you seriously doubt yourself. Away is your purpose you thought you had."
OK, now I'm really confused.
1. If there isn't God (and afterlife), then how would you find out he doesn't exist? You'd be nothingness.
2. Nobody's ever going to prove that God doesn't exist. Because he does exist.
3. It's not a purpose I think I have, it's a purpose I know I have. I know that God exists, partly due to personal experience. And that's something you can't understand without living it.
"I don't believe in God but if for some reason I change my mind I loose everything? I think most Christians will say I've finally seen the light. So I'm not loosing anything. I'm gaining a whole lot!"
Life is a very quick thing. You could be killed tomorrow, or the next day, or next week. You have absolutely no clue. And if you "change your mind" just to cover yourself, and not because you believe, then you might not be gaining as much as you think.
