Would you WANT this story to be real?
Would it make you happy if it were? Or would you still hate the idea of God and afterlife even after reading this story which paints God and the afterlife in such a positive light?
Would you rather it all be a farce, and that we all just die when we die and there is no loving God?
Would it make me happy if it were? Not really, no. I guess I'm just difficult to please? Good food, good company, a good venue.....you know, things like that make me happy. This story doesn't register as a blip on my happiness radar.
Since I don't hate the idea of god or afterlives in the first place this one probably isn't relevant to me.
Since there won't be any such loving god for me regardless of whether or not the story is true......what I would rather is irrelevant in context.
You're essentially asking me whether or not I -wish- to be baited by cake in the afterlife. I hope there's more to god and heaven than all that, if there's a god or a heaven...-that's- what I would wish, what I would rather. If there isn't, I'm still uninterested. I find his story far less than convincing, but it wouldn't matter to me, ultimately, if it were true -or- false.
