“resulting in salvation.”
Yes, I don’t need this. I am not interested in what I get when I die. I am only going to make my energy as positive as possible so when it leaves it’s physical vehicle—my body, it is positive energy. Afterall, enrgy is neither gained nor lost.
Even if my energy goes into a lightbulb, I shall burn brightly and happily.

I don;t understand htis- why, if there were the real possibility, that God is who He says He is, and htere is indeed a heaven and hell- which will both be eternal, and hell is eternal suffering, woudl you gamble on your life beign nothign but energy with no soul? I just don’t get it. The risk of eternal damnation is simply too great to gamble in my opinion. When life is over, there’s no chance to say “Whoops- Maybe I was wrong”-
IF it turns out htere’s no God- then when I die, I’ve lsot absolutely nothign by believing- IF however, there is a God, then I’ve not risked eternity in hell by not bel;ieving (And let me just state quickly, that we who accept Salvation find God to be true to His word, real, and personally itnerested and active in our lives- so I am speakign fro mexperience here when I state I know God to be real- I know you find it hard to beleive peopel can know God personally, because you feel He doesn’t exist,, but htere it is- one gets to know God is real when one puts their trust in Him, and not until- one can suspect, of course, but can’t really know for sure until they take that one last step- at which point God imediately confirms His identity and existence in that persons life)
I’m not goign to preach- you beleive what you do, but just wanted to know why an atheist is willing to take such a gamble with such severe consequences if it turns out God really is who He says He is- As a Holy God, He MUST punish sin- sin and holiness can not coexist together- but fortunately, He did provide a way of compelte forgiveness- once for all. Why trust a mind only capable of partial knowledge when we can trust the Omniscient all knowing mind? The risk- to me, simpyl is too great that hte beleif that God doesn’t exist is true. There’s nothign to be lost by beleiving in Him- nothign at all, and everythign to be gained.
