What if there existed a real God doing real Miracles and a real Heaven after death...
but only if you BELIEVED in them?
Wouldnt you feel like a giant knob goblin for not having believed and thus missing out?
What if your beliefs system factually creates your reality, right up to beyond the grave?
Lets say because the Observer pulls Reality out of the Superposition of All Possibilities?

One mans heaven is another mans hell.
So if you’re in heaven and diggin it then does that mean you gotta put up with some asshole who hates it and is in hell? So then basically you’re in a hell technically?

This is an interesting concept: Your reward in the afterlife is what you create it to be. To me, an eternity in heaven would be very boring and most likely pointless. It does not make sense to me. Was life on the Earth created to be just a pit stop before an eternal, final destination? Were Adam and Eve created to eventually go somewhere else in the afterlife or were they created to live forever on a paradise Earth?
Anyways, If I am rewarded on afterlife of my choosing, it would look a lot like Univision!

Eternal reward is as pointless as eternal punishment, for finite actions.
You are in eternal flux though, so you have both.

I used to be a non-believer but zZZz sent me PMs constantly trying to get me to see the light of the lord and I finally went to church with him one Sunday just to get him to quit PM'ing me and that one service changed me forever

No, if there was no reason to believe in such. Having said that, if I had nothing else to put my faith in than god, I would pray for it. At least I would have tried everything

One man's religion is another man's theoretical physics.
By which I mean, there's a lot of evidence to suggest that nothing is real until we attempt to interact with it, which could have religious implications depending on your worldview.

Umm, so you'd rather believe there is nothing after death, and slip into nothingness, than believe in a wonderful afterlife, if that belief actually CREATES that afterlife?
You'd make a lousy Bastian.

There is! Would you believe me if I told you I've cured people from cancer?
I fully support anyone to believe whatever they are comfortable understanding; however I promise you on my very soul that there are planes of existence after this "sliver of a speck of sand" of life we are currently experiencing. They are both good and bad, I know some of you satanists here really push your "Relativity" viewpoint, however deep down in your soul you know what to be good and true, and what to be evil and hate.
Many of the negative planes are right here we just don't see it; there are many who've lived evil lives, aiming their life in a way that negatively impeded MUCH more than benefited life & mother Earth. You see them come back as rats, worms, snakes (if they're lucky!)
Who knows what is in the mind's eye of the bald eagle, this could be a new kind of paradise.

No. How did you cure people from cancer? You think bad, evil people come back as rats or other vermin? Why would that happen? You think there is a person's soul inside a rat at any given time?
