Also Ricky Gervais:

You did not exist for about 14 billion years. You exist now & when you die you will not exist again. Forever. Enjoy your existing years

"So what do you think being dead feels like?"

You know what it felt like for the billions of years before you were born? Exactly like that.

Both will get the chances to learn and show repentance. I am sure plenty will not of course and they will then simply no longer exist. In my faith there is no eternal damnation or burning in hellfire. Personally I would not want to worship a God who would allow for such a thing

But how do you get to be so selective?

I am a Christian although some fellow Christians will not accept me as one but that is a debate I do not want to have on this forum

My belief is that there will be a great tribulation where only true Christians will be left after Armageddon they will be tasked with rebuilding the Earth to an Eden like state while the dead are resurrected and are taught to love God. After 1000 years those who do not accept God along with Satan will cease to exist. There is no Hell in my beliefs

I know most of you will see this as a fairy tale but as I said previously my lack of faith in science pushes me to believe in creation or in the very least intelligent design.

On top of that even if I am wrong and science is right we are energy our body is full of electricity and science tells us energy does not die it simple changes form

If I am wrong then I will never know I am wrong but if I am right I can go ner ner ner to all those who think I am wrong hahaha

If you cannot understand or comprehend how something works, evolved, etc. this does not mean you have to then impose a deific origin. It just means that you do are not able to comprehend the solution. It does not means there isn't one.
