No. I just put my faith in God.

A 50/50 chance assumes there are only 2 options . There are an infinite amount of options . But in the case of which (between your's and mine ) is more probable and provable ; mine is , yours is not .

If you were to die, do you know where you would go?

I suspect that I'll return to that from whence I came. I doubt I will persist with anything like my current personality or identity, because these aspects of my mind are causally dependent upon my brain, which upon my death will be burned to ashes and dropped from a plane over Vatican City.

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

Either we have an eternal soul or we don't.

How do you know this to be true?

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

I heard you the first time, dj2...you seem to have an annoying habit of not answering questions directed at you, and then asking your own. So, we'll try it again:

How do you *know* you've chosen the right religion? There are many. What if you've damned your eternal soul by deciding on any given one?

What infinite options? Either you have an eternal soul or you don't. Btw: Have you ever heard of near-death experiences?

Do you know of any other religion other than my own that has so many fulfilled prophecies? Or in fact any prophecies at all?

Nothing is eternal, it just seemed that way sitting on a hard pew on a hot Sunday afternoon, listening to a preacher drone on and on about eternity ...
If there exists such a thing as a soul, it will be recycled like everything else.
How? Beats me.

What other religions say that you will be damned for ever?

Your religion has never fulfilled a prophecy.

*sigh* Here, let's try shouting instead:

HOW DO YOU KNOW YOU HAVE CHOSEN THE RIGHT RELIGION? WHAT IF YOU HAVE DAMNED YOURSELF BY WORSHIPPING THE WRONG GOD?
