Which one's Merlin? ;-)
Ive never understood that if there is life AFTER death, why have THIS life to begin with? It doesn't make any sense to be given a life only to die and then live again? Bonkers!
When I was a young and impressionable, evangelical Christian, I fully believed in heaven and hell. I spent much time praying for my loved ones to be 'saved.' I never had a moments peace, worrying not only about my 'unsaved' family and friends but also for my own eternal destination. I started to question other 'mature' Christians, just how can I be happy in heaven knowing that my loved ones were being eternally tortured by the God that I would spend eternity with?
Got either fobbed off with bible verses or met with silence (by people that had obviously never considered the possibility)
By my early 20's I had all but rejected any notion of heaven and hell (and Christianity) and its absurd doctrines.
Will I live after death? Who cares? The only life that we can be sure of is this one.
As far as the saying that there are no atheists in fox-holes...cobblers.
Ive been close to death a couple of times (at my own hands at that, during depressive episodes) and never once have I feared dying, Gods judgment, hell or anything else.
Nowadays I appreciate life for each moment and know that one day those moments will end. Knowing that those moment WILL end actually give more meaning to the life that I now appreciate so much.
Hope that ur prostate gets sorted soon Ratter.
