Yeah, as long as one is alive, this is a very important thing. However, if one decides to suicide, I guess all these are useless o him: one cannot feed his soul with apples, for instance.

The point with gambling we were discussing was that we inevitably gamble: we inevitably choose to believe something that cannot be 100% proven (without any doubt), and if we were wrong, bad luck! (we may end in the hell of Allah which He prepared for all infidels - no matter how unfair and insane Allah is, if he exists, we end up there)

Well, if we wake up 'alive' after we die, I don't think we'll need to do something to survive. I mean, I don't think we would be in the danger of dying of hunger or of thirst or something. I guess everybody would see the afterlife as an adventure and a hope for a better future, if they would wake up in a relatively beautiful place. While if we'll end up in a hell, the last thing we could ever wish is to survive all eternity :)).
