Drich has already - twice - entertained the idea that other religious faiths might have more reality of being 'true' than his own and what his reaction would be in that eventuality; as such he would be in exactly the same position as a permanent atheist such as myself. I appreciate that this is going to be a scary thought for some people, but what if it turns out there are no gods and never have been? No YHWH, no JC, no Allah or Ganesh or Kali or Quetzecoatl or Dawkins' "Ju-Ju under the mountain"? I'm forming no conclusions on any afterlife, for personal reasons which I may only share with those I trust. But can Drich and his fellow religiosos process the idea of no post-mortem judgement because of there never being anything to make such judgements?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
