[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think what a lot of the non-Christian posters find frustrating is t[b]he degree of confidence with which some posters are talking about eternity, like this is something we’re so sure about.

I have to admit that I find this perplexing as well.  I don’t know what happens after death and I think pretending like I do is not right.  I live in hope and love and faith that if there is life after death, that it is good.

I also think it is a wrong assumption from non-Christian posters that a Christian lifestyle is one of deprivation and misery.  If you are living a “Christian” life and you are miserable, you’re not doing it right.  The fruits of the spirit should be joy, peace, love, patience, and the ability to persevere through life’s struggles, which everyone faces.  Being a Christian is not going to make your problems go away, but it should give you the strength to deal with them.  If you are a Christian and you die and there’s no afterlife, it shouldn’t actually have affected you in a negative way.  All Jesus called us to do was love one another as we love ourselves.  If you think being Christian makes you miserable, don’t bother, because you have the wrong idea.  Being loving is not going to make your life worse.[/quote]

Since we, Christians, take Bible as a direct Word of God, as told by the Prophets, we know a whole lot about eternity from the Bible. This is one of the main tenants of our religion. We are called to believe and some of us do. Without shred of doubt. The problem with challengers of Christianity is that they have not read the Bible. The Bible talks at lenghts about eternity.[/quote]
