In 500 years from now, your very existance will not matter to any one person. Yes some people are remembered for what they contributed in thier life. For example, Columbus in 1492 came to the new world, but noone really cares about Columus, or idolizes him everyday. So Basically my point is that regardless of how much money you have or who you are, it won't matter when your dead. I like to believe that for this very reason, it's obvious that there is a god, he made it simple for us to believe in him, simple for us to be comfortable with the fact that life isn't meaningless. But as an atheist, you could argue that that thought process is weak minded and i'm just settling for comfort. Understandable...
I don't dis-agree with the everyday atheist, I totally understand why somone would feel there is not god, I just believe there is. I would just like to get a better understanding of why they believe in what they do. Isn't there an emptyness? You see your life, then you know there's an end, then nothing? That's kinda a haunting feeling is it not? In 500 years, you'll be known as a number, a statistic, and more than likely you won't be known. I choose to believe in a pay-off, but I could be wrong...I could be right and it could be sweet. That's my opinion and belief, what is yours? Go in depth if you could. There's no right or wrongs here, i'm just fascinated with other people thought processes on this subject, thanks...
