I was a hospice volunteer for a while. It was one of the most rewarding time of my life. I would recommend it to anyone.
it's "here", not "hear".
You're welcome.
I rate myself as a 10.

I was about 6.8 when I woke up this morning. Then, later in a cafe, a woman next to me was desperately trying to convert some poor sod opposite her to Christianity. It was just a load of unsubstantiated vacant crap about Him always listening, being there, loving etc etc... So, now I'm a 6.9

There's always a chance the atheists are right, though I don't think that's the case.

You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.

Uh ok
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
