Except a few terrorists suicide attackers, I doubt anyone is a real believer. One test shows everyone is a fake is: when asked if anyone is willing to end his own life for the faith-based "afterlife" in eternity, all will crack. They all turn into atheists -- "afterlife" is death.

All theists better agree with atheists: "afterlife" is really death; there is no such thing as "afterlife".

Obviously they do agree, since no theists are willing to end their lives for the so-called "afterlife".

I've had similar thoughts for a longtime...
from observation, it's often evident that most want to promote their own values and merely use god as a tool. This is why those same pious believers reject the word of god (and Jesus) if it goes against their own actions.

Vic is relentless. But it isn't the kind of relentless where as a believer I stop and go hmm, never thought about that before, maybe he/she has a point. It's the kind of relentless where I go, are you serious? I can't believe you're attempting to validate this claim.

well as a catholic, what you are asking is me committing suicide to prove my belief in afterlife. i will be going against my catholic belief that suicide is a sin and why would i do that when i am aiming for afterlife in heaven and not hell and our belief is suicide sends u straight to hell. does that answer your question in catholic point of view?

in short a catholic saying no to your dare is proof of their belief in afterlife. u shld ask a UR and if they say no then they are a joke.

Just want to point out -- delusion is a dangerous thing -- always respect evidences.

When there is no evidence suggesting a specific/positive claim, do not believe it !

Some people center their lives around myths, this is a totally wrong way of life. Often, myths have been used as a tool to control others. Religions are such examples. "Afterlife" is so typical of religion: if no one knows, why some people advocating it with all the stories and religious codes around it?

The point is, you only got one life to live, make the best out of it. Some preachers want you to worry about after death and waste time in real life on myths, that's a wrong way to live your life.
