I have God's word, His promises and the assurance in my heart.

I can't prove it, but I suspect you are recycled, since everything else seems to be.

I never said that I knew that people have eternal souls. But the possibility sure exists.

I never said that I could prove it. Can you prove that they don't have eternal souls?

In other words, you have a security blanket, however ephemeral.

What if a person has an eternal soul?

The password is "How do you know this?"

Call it what you like. At least I have something. If I die and find out that I was wrong, then I lose nothing. I you die and find out that you were wrong, then you lose everything.

I rejected Pascal's wager quite some time ago. Now, what if your eternal soul is going to be damned for all eternity, because you are worshipping the wrong god? Surely even you'll have to concede that the "possibility exists"...or are you sure you picked the right religion?

Well you must have some reason to think you know something don't you?

So do you believe that God exists?

So you can't prove that people have eternal souls , I can't prove they don't . Score ; Crow 1 , god jr. 1 .

I however can watch a corpse for a long time and have it remain inert . You cannot call back a departed soul and have him dance a jig for me , speak , or even run up to the liquor store for a pack of smokes .

Score that round ; Crow 1 , godboy 0 .

Game , set , match - Crow 2 , loser2bucker 1 .

Next question ?

What makes you think that there is more than one true God?

So there is a fifty fifty chance that one of us is right? What if you are wrong?

50/50? How did you come up with that figure?
