With all of history behind us, and all that is to come ahead, how do you feel knowing your faith is but one of thousands of religions that have arisen, and will eventually decline and fade into nothingness? How do you still believe in a system that will inevitably be lost to time in the centuries to come, becoming nothing more than a footnote in historical academia?
TL;DR - your religion will one day be lost to time and is in the grand scheme of things, utterly irrelevant. How do you reconcile with that?
How do you feel knowing that your own life here on earth - all that you love, all that you dream, all that you have accomplished - will eventually fade into nothingness?
Where will you spend eternity?

How do you define 'close minds'?
Do I have a close mind because I don't buy into your religious claims?
No, you have a closed mind because you have bought into a false world-view that denies my claims.
It's not permanent, but it can be fatal. Think on that.
