Not all are sheep of Jesus' pasture

Facing Fear in the Foxhole

I lean toward the idea we will very likely get in the afterlife what we believe in this the embryonic life if they are not born again. If one believes in nothing they will get nothing but they will know at the same time they got nothing which is unbearable they could well find. But then, who knows aforehand?

To not exist and to know it at the same time is I think about as unbearable as it gets. Any definition of hell would in my view would involve the element of repetition. Repetition can fade eventually, if not quickly. 

Since there is no concept of time in the eternal, forever will be an exceptionally concept to believe I would think. One cannot tread too softly in the unknown.

If there is no hope then the future, particularly space time, is full of troublesome complications competing for zero gains. It is enticing as any devilish drug before it turns against the enticed. Faith extended intensely enough may well create one's future according to their little faith or great faith.

There may be more power in faith than anyone suspects. I believe0 there would be no present unless someone knew it. Hello to original sin. So if one had enough faith, like a god, they could predict the future with certainty.

One thing I do know with certainty. The more words that pile up is a strong indication of the less I know. The more I learn the more I learn there is more I do not know than I ever thought. As I've said, if anyone does not believe in a God, that is by definition a benevolent creating God, then they have no choice, they will just have to be their own God.
