For the nonbeliever whether there is a God or not they live to be worm food, no wonder we Christians choose to believe in Christ our savior.
In other words, you fear death to the point where convincing yourself that death isn't final is vital to maintaining your happiness. Also, it means that you're in this for your own benefit, not for God's, which is the entire point of this religion, meaning that you (Christians) are selfish opportunists, and last I remember, your god doesn't look kindly upon that at all.

Which claims do you need me to clarify?

You cannot value truth if you confuse it with fiction as often as you do.
Truth has nothing to do with it, either. You're supposed to believe in God because God says so. Whether or not it is true is obviously not relevant.
