Too many words for you? Oh deary me. I wasn't aware that I needed to clear the number of words in my posts with you beforehand.
K - "... when you finally get to the Pearly Gates..."
Which don't exist...
K - "... and the angels re-direct you to the place they don't like to call by name..."
You do understand the absurdity and irrationality of threatening an atheist with eternal damnation don't you?
While we're conversing, any chance of answering the question put by mrblear?

nailit - in answer to OP (and I have not read any other answers) I can honestly say that there have been several (if not many ) occasions which have made me think that I might well have been wrong and deluded myself.
At various times in my life I have considered myself an agnostic and in private I have wondered about atheism. Much angst has ensued.
It would be hard to list these times, but they have happened. One such would (within the last 5 years) have been the death of Mr. J2's daughter. She had been a nurse, never drank much, never smoked, healthy diet etc.. Bowel cancer got her. It is the wrong way round for a child to die first.
He struggled for some time, but has held his faith, indeed he has emerged stronger - as have I.
Best I can do :)

No reply from you to the courteous question from 'mrblear' yet [this thread, 15:23 Wed 17th Feb 2016].
Surely good manners and humility are some of the things that help you get through those 'Pearly Gates'? Or maybe you're so full of your own self-righteousness that you think you'll make it past old Pete without breaking sweat?
Isn't arrogance (or pride) one of the so-called 'Deadly Sins'?
