What will the atheists say when...
58 Answers
While walking my dogs this morning beside the lake I fell into a reverie.
I imagined a time in the far distant future when most ABers were in Heaven. The atheists, though bemused, were as happy as anyone else to be there. But they soon moved to a remote corner of Elysium and began a debate.
'If we don't believe in this place how can we be here?'
Will you, if you're an atheist, be happy to admit you're wrong?

Better to fall into a reverie than into the lake i suppose. Soggy thinking though, either way.
This is just a version of Pascals Wager.
No heaven.No hell. No evidence of heaven. Yours and your fellow travellers faith in such a construct is all that sustains it as a concept.
Show me a devout amputee whose prayers for a regrown limb have been answered Sandy. Show me a real-time re-alignment of the stars in the firmament that spell out jehovah. No? Thought not..

Joko, why do think a lot of us would like to believe in heaven etc? There's nothing agreeable about descriptions in, say, Revelation.
Admittedly the Koranic paradise is a little more agreeable than the servile bowing and scraping of St. John'd heaven. It does involve totty and (presumably non-alcoholic) wine.
