Here is what a Pastor said to me after we had some e-mail discussions about the Bible and Christianity.
"I am glad that we had this exchange, regardless if you have been satisfied with my answers or not. Contact me again in the future if I can be of any further service to you.
I will continue praying for the salvation of your eternal soul. You know, if what you believe is true, about the here and now being all there is, then all that you are going through is really an effort in futility, because when you die, all that you have lived for will be meaningless. Without a resurrection, and that unto life, you have led no more than a miserable life."
Does that make any scene to anyone? It sounds pretty mean actually telling me my life is meaningless if I don't believe in the after life and heaven and hell. What a bunch of wackos!
