An atheist started an argument with me one day. He said he was angry at me and angry at his wife. I asked why and he stated because we refuse to use our brain to see the obvious fact that there is no God. He went on by stating how much smarter he was than either of us because he could understand the facts better than either of us did. I asked him what it is that he believed happened after death and he stated nothing. Just nothingness... Life over. As I stood there, this story came to mind. Imagine you and I are standing in front of three doors. The first door says heaven, the second door says hell and the third door says nothingness. He reminded me that there is no heaven and there is no hell so he gets nothingness no matter what. Bear with me I asked of him. Lets talk about my beliefs now, I asked. He listened as I told him this.... I believe in heaven, I believe that if you are right with God when you die, you will go to heaven. If you are not right with God when you die you will go to hell. He pointed out that he knew all of this...what does it have to do with the doors? I explained that the way I see it is that if he was correct his best case scenario is nothingness. If I am right he is going to hell. If he is right, I am going to nothingness, but if I am right, I am going to heaven. The way I see it his best case scenario only equals my worst case scenario. He looked at me and you could see him as it occurred to him what I meant.... So I asked, if I have heaven to look forward to and the best you can hope for is nothingness, which of us is the smarter? How strongly do you believe that you are right? Are you willing to go to hell for it? He stared at me for a long time and then simply said I dont know what to say to that and he walked away. This ended the digs at my beliefs and he later told me that he was attending church with his wife....to keep peace in the family. Maybe he was smarter than I gave him credit for being. Lol I wonder which door we will enter when we go?
