How can you possibly have any idea what you are signing up for? You invest time effort and emotional energy trying to ensure that you end up in heaven/paradise whatever, what if it's crap when you get there?
When I invest even small amounts on short breaks, I will always read up about the destination, read reviews, talk to people who have been there to try establish whether it's worth the investment. I question, where will I be staying? Will there be anything of interest for me to do? Is it value for money etc.. This usually insures a decent break or holiday.
Can any of you explain to me exactly what you are expecting? or are you happy to admit that you haven't got a clue what you've signed up for? If I was going somewhere forever I would want to know.
Not all theists follow a religion.
Christianity tell faithful that paradise is waiting for them.
Some theists like myself are aware that faith only is not enough to reach the nirvana.
In fact faith only may well confuse you in believing that you are correct when in reality you may well be totally mistaken.
A lot of hard work instead is necessary to reach the nirvana (yoga version of the Christian paradise) and reincarnation is a must.
Christians fool themselves thinking that one life is enough but life teach us that to reach the very top of evolution it takes a lot of hard work in order to expand our own consciousness in full.
Now ................how to know that you are on the right track?
Easy.
Once the student is ready the teacher will appear and by following his-her teaching you develop the awareness that God exist because that entity is within and the bliss within that increase as you go on with your efforts is the evidence that the nirvana is real.
An old saying..........if you never try you will never know...............

I guess you never thought that these stories about Mr. Lucifer and company are written by humans not by God.
Are you aware of it PP?
