I agree, just testing you.brian ross wrote: ↑Mon Dec 09, 2019 5:38 pmThere is no such thing as heaven, Neferti. It is for little children to believe in. When you are dead, you are dead. No afterlife, nothing like that.

Pascal's wager
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal%27s_wager
is an argument in philosophy presented by the seventeenth-century French philosopher, mathematician and physicist, Blaise Pascal (1623–1662).[1] It posits that humans bet with their lives that God either exists or does not.
Pascal argues that a rational person should live as though God exists and seek to believe in God. If God does not actually exist, such a person will have only a finite loss (some pleasures, luxury, etc.), whereas he stands to receive infinite gains (as represented by eternity in Heaven) and avoid infinite losses (eternity in Hell).[2]
Pascal's Wager was based on the idea of the Christian God, though similar arguments have occurred in other religious traditions. The original wager was set out in section 233 of Pascal's posthumously published Pensées ("Thoughts"). These previously unpublished notes were assembled to form an incomplete treatise on Christian apologetics.
Historically, Pascal's wager was groundbreaking because it charted new territory in probability theory,[3] marked the first formal use of decision theory, existentialism, pragmatism and voluntarism.[4]

Re: Forgiveness and Repentance in Islam
So, we can expect to see you in Heaven, Bobby?
Question: Which area will you be in?
You won't get dumped in with the "others" you know. God is all for multiculturalism but he knows that certain faiths need to be segregated. He rules Heaven with a strong hand.

I think religion is more part of our culture than something real.
People like to think they're so important that a place for them is reserved in heaven.
