I wonder if there's a heaven a G.😀

Originally posted by Jake EllisonSo your agnostic. I, on the other hand, already have the satisfaction of knowing he's wrong. So why don't you become atheist too! The only thing you wont have is the satisfaction of knowing that he knows he's wrong. So maybe you should become Muslim then if you turn out to be right you'll get the satisfaction you so deeply desire! Except you'll be in heaven an he'll be in hell so you still won't be able to see his face when he finds out he was wrong after all. But then again your desire to see him regret his mistake might be a sin and end you in hell too.

If he did end up in hell it might be a good thing to be there too. That way I could say 'ha, you told me I was going to hell! Now who's laughing?' Of course it might be hard to get that out through the screams of agony, but I'd have eternity to do it.
