I'd try to be original and go for a dirty protest.

Well, I can just tell him to let me in since he is just like me.

I mean obviously he doesn't believe JC will save his soul, does he?

As long as it isn't a Pet Cemetary...

The idea of eternal life violates the story of Adam & Eve and the Garden of Eden. God didn't want humans to live forever and be like him, especially after they ate from the tree of knowledge of good and evil and knew what he knew. That's also why he set the life span limit at 120 years and killed everything in the flood.

Just ignore 'judgement day' until rigor mortis takes over. Problem solved.

This is either an awe sh*t moment or this is where you pull out the sum total of all of our discussions here.. Meaning when here you all seem to have been practicing why God is unjust and is not in a position to judge you.. So now you are not face down before the judgement seat of Christ.

Option C is that it's not really an awe shit moment -or- a time for the "sum of all our discussions". Pretty sure god wouldn't need to ask me any questions - and I'm not going to waste time explaining myself-nor do I see what point it would serve. As a means of initiating self assessment in this life, the question is useful (and imo that's probably why the concept has survived so long and been expressed in so many faiths -how do you think your heart will weigh against Maat? What will you do when you are before Ammit and the scales?-). Ultimately, I would be as disinterested in death as I am in life. I fail to see how or why finding myself in this position would alter that simple fact. In all likelihood, I'd be spending more time thinking about the pomp that brought me across the river(or the lack thereof). I suppose that your qeustion and your situation just doesn't have any tendrils in my psycho, there's nothing in it that grabs me or compels me. It's right on par with "Do you like salt with your eggs?" - I don't give a shit.

But, if anyone is going to have a wonderful answer to this question it would be you. Imagine that it is -you- before the judge...imagine that -you- find yourself in error equal to that of the error you believe atheists to be operating under, that -you- are in the situation that's been painted for others....you have been the wrong type of christer. What will -you- do? Do you explain yourself? Do you throw yourself at the mercy of this god? Option C?

LOL, so many typos above - that's what I get for the early am posts.

I thought Drich had hacked your account.

Yup, was atrocious. In any case, Drich...whats up, wwyd?
