but what if their is no next life? won't that suck for 
you whp had followed a book and preachers all your life 
then when the big payoff comes, its not there. Then, if 
you weren't dead, you would probably think dam it! i 
should've thought for myself. If you think the "next 
world" will be better then do yourself a favor and kill 
yourself so you can get to god faster. haha, sorry, but i 
think if all christians really couldn't wait for heaven 
they'd kill themselves "accidentally" to get there 
faster, and i'd laugh as all of the lemmings followed in 
line until the religion killed itself out. Sorry.~Dylan
