Naomi, have you every seriously studied into the evidences of the Christian faith? The evidence and work of God and the truth of the Bible are impossible to refute with any honesty. I recommend “Evidence that Demands a Verdict” by Josh McDowell. Two volumes. Lots of notes.

It could be I was saying that a person with God can meet death with a happier heart.

But it seems to me I was also saying what is far more potent, that a person with God can meet life with a happier heart.

No one can know anything for sure? And yet you KNOW you will live until the death of the universe as dust in the wind?

How interesting.

Now there’s a belief to build your life on.

And as you said, belief is key.

What will your life as dust consist of? Will you be a thinking, feeling dust? And how did you come about this knowledge?

The same can be said for a person who believes in reincarnation. Belief is key whether or not its close to fact.

I will be sorry to die because I fear the wonderful things to learn in the future will be lost to me. Are we alone in the cosmos, for example.

On the other hand, I also know I will live until the death of the universe as dust in the wind.

Who will ever KNOW for sure. No one.
