I'm not professing love and warmth. And I'm not telling people what to believe.

What I am telling them is that you never know when you might die, so be prepared.

Either there is a God or there isn't. Casually waving off the issue isn't exactly a good idea considering the possible consequences. My point is, make a decision based on very, very careful analysis.

I've seen people make more informed decisions about a car they are thinking of buying.

This is the kind of issue worthy of great due diligence. Make an informed choice.

I have read millions of words on the topic from every possible viewpoint from people all over the planet and throughout history.

Nothing will surprise me at this point.

--- "What I am telling them is that you never know when you might die, so be prepared."

Wonderful little adage worth retelling:

So many people want to go to heaven, but darn few want to go today.

Other thought: “God” is such a loaded word.

It means many things to different people—most of whom are convinced they nailed down all the details—and everybody who disagrees with them has got it wrong.

Just look at the threads here on this topic—they are all over the place.

Humility is not one of homo sapiens long suits.
