Oh please. That whole "I have a future" talk and that other pile of BS is all grandiose sophistry to mask what it is you really have .... A healthy fear of dying! That's it and that is all! You're deluding yourself. If you lived 4000 years ago you'd be worshiping some other god and telling people the same bull shit. If Jesus Christ had done all he had done and hadn't added the bit about Heaven and Hell, you'd be off looking for a new god who covered the afterlife issue, cause in the end, you're only in it because you cannot face your own mortality. That is all. Nothing more. The rest of it, is just people capitalizing on what they find useful in that evil book ... which is why there are so many damn denominations of Christianity ... and also why they all seem to only be able to agree on one thing ... we're going to Heaven.
Open up your damn eyes!
I understand my mortality and accept it, I do not fear death, just the way I might go. I see death as a result of my living, living outside the will of God, sin for those who do not understand the "will of God," and since He has given me a way to live a life of eternal wonder why shouldn't I accept it. I see this from a different view my friend, it's you who are afraid, you're afraid there is God, and he will take away all your independence, a thing that blinds you to the truth of God. The freedom God has given me is indeed a true freedom, it's a freedom from fear, a freedom to live a life that is as righteous as can be for me. You are right to fear God and live a life outside His will.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
