    Question For John Atheist: Don't You Want To Remember Your Good Deeds Forever?

    JAG Writes:
    ~ Regarding John Atheist ~
    ~ Introductory Remarks ~

    John Atheist,
    You do desire to live a heroic life and to be remembered
    for your good deeds, don't you? I think you do.
    You have lived your life to help others, haven't you? Yes,
    you most likely have.
    You have lived by the Golden Rule that says do unto
    others as you would have them do unto you, haven't
    you? Yes, you probably have lived that way.
    But on your atheism let us assume that you die and
    cease to exist forever --- here is a short piece I wrote
    about this atheistic cease-to-exist sadness.


    A Monument To John Atheist
    by JAG
    Let us say that your risked your life to save 3000 people that
    were stranded in a dangerous storm and in so doing you lost
    a leg, but you were successful in rescuing them and the "powers
    that be" gave you a medal for your heroic action and later a
    grateful nation erected a statue of John Atheist and it stood
    for 500 years.

    That would matter to YOU in the short term, but not in the
    long term. On your atheism there would come a time when
    John Atheist ceased to exist -- and became this 00000

    If John Atheist does Cease-To-Exist, then in the long
    term it would not matter to YOU that you had acted
    heroically to save the lives of other human beings.

    If some humans remembered you for 5000 years it would
    NOT matter to YOU because you Ceased-To-Exist and
    had become this 00000.

    So what point am I making? Answer: You need spiritual
    tools to arrive at what really matters.
    John 3:16
    {1) believe and get Eternal Life
    {2} refuse to believe and "perish"

    John Atheist now has Eternal Life , , , ,

    Here on this spiritual ground your heroic action would
    matter for all Eternity. It would be FOREVER in your mind
    that you had performed a noble heroic action that helped
    other people at great cost to you. It would be known by untold
    billions of human beings who were sharing Eternal Life with you.
    It would matter to YOU and to THEM . . . FOREVER.

    Now why on Earth, would that NOT appeal to you?
    Why would you NOT desire to be known forever.
    And remembered forever by large numbers of
    people that YOU had personally helped by living a
    noble heroic life?

    Why does it not make you very sad to think that all
    your past noble heroic acts will be reduced to 00000
    and will never be remembered by you?

    Doesn't the bible say that old things are passed away? Why would you assume that doesn't include memories of a carnal life?
    You are wrong about police.
