@mem- you have to accept what as it is? I'm completely ok with here being nothing after this life. Maybe a few synapses firing before the brain dies for a nice final trip, and nothing more, ok I've done good things in this life and am happy with my accomplishments. Nothing is the null hypothesis. You should accept that there could be more after you die, neither of us will know.
@superstarr- If you're praying for yourself to live 10 minutes longer, that's a selfish (as opposed to selfless) prayer. Even if you were praying for someone else to get healed in the next ten minutes that would still be selfish. You're not acknowleging that God has control, you're constrainng him to your time table and your wishes.

"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
