And if you are wrong , eternity is a long time.

[GrandizerII]

but you don't explain: what exactly are you restricting yourself of ..

What are you being asked to give up?

Nothing!!

You certain? If you don't have to give up anything for Jesus, that might put you in big trouble according to many fundamentalist Christians out there. Remember, eternity is a long time, right?

And besides, if I don't have to give up anything, fine. What's the problem then? I'll just continue to live the way I see fit to live without having to worry about what religious dogma commands me to do.

Also, you still didn't comment on the possibility that it might not be your God that exists. Then what?

There are a lot of holes with your argument. And speaking of "intellectually active", it's not particularly intellectual.
