What is the proof for the existence of hell, heaven and the world of God? Why should I waste my lifetime in these things?
=====================
This universe is infinite. I am unable to show the existence of these super worlds to you. I accept my incapability. But you are also incapable to prove directly the non-existence of these super worlds. Have you taken all over the universe and said, " Here ends the universe. Beyond this point there is no universe. This is the compound wall of the space. Your super world does not exist anywhere’’.

Therefore, there is equal chance for the existence and non-existence of the super worlds according to the theory of probability. Now let us analyse of our cases. Both of us are eating to live. The basic needs are satisfied in the cases of both of us. You have spent extra time also in earning more money, which may give you some problems of health like sugar, B.P etc., due to over enjoying.

I have not earned more money and I am healthy due to normal food. None of us will carry the money with us after death. The money given to the children may also be lost in several ways. Therefore, I do not find much difference between us, once the basic needs are satisfied. I am poor because I have spent my extra time in the service of God.
Suppose after my death, you are correct and there are no super worlds.

In such case what I have lost? There is no loss for me. But after your death, suppose I am correct and there are super worlds. You have lost every thing and God will not save you. Thus, even on accepting your argument, based on the equal probability, it is better to serve the Lord by sacrificing the extra time and energy for the Lord after earning the basic needs. You must read the theory of probability, which is perfectly a scientific theory.

Says you.



Which could very well be a waste of your life. Instead, you could have lived life, or helped other peoples lives.



What if god didnt want ppl to believe in super worlds or worship him, and thus rewardes those who didnt and punishes those who did?



That is wrong, as I have demonstrated above.

Ok I must be getting old here! I am starting to repeat my self.

Metaphor’s can be great illustrations of a spiritual concept. However many including myself end up pulling out ones hair trying to fathom such things as “The lotus swims backward when the red eye of dawn strikes six”

Maybe it’s just that I am a thick Irishman or maybe the concept loses something in the translation. Wisdom that tends to come from an exotic region of the east has the profound ability to baffle my brains as much as a tequila cocktail from Mexico.

Those that spout such profound wisdom are rarely challenged mainly because nobody has a clue as to what is actually being said! And the fear of appearing stupid and uneducated over rides the natural responses to ask “What the feck are you talking about?

Maybe I am not privy to such spiritual wisdom but I don’t think I am in the minority here! Perhaps you should drop the metaphoric gobbly goop and tell us what’s really on your mind.

All the Best

. PS You are driving me to drink! But as a true Irishman I appreciate the lift!

This is yet another variant on Pascal's Wager. Here's the eternal problem with hedging such a bet; namely, what if you believe in the wrong God?

Wow you used that over here too!!! Do you think that works just as good??

Speaking of probability and wasting your life on something/someone of it.

Don't waste your life on proven probability, don't waste your death on something of you that is unproven improbability.
