    @ ELYDOG

    Great post.

    I think nearly everyone is an unbeliever. There is so much to suggest unfaith. Christian hospitals and their Christian patients are an example. Why would one prolong the time away from their God? The standard explanation is that Earth is a gift and one shouldn't walk away from a gift, but isn't Heaven supposed to be the greater gift? How many car aficionados would stay and play with their Yugo when their promised fleet of Ferraris is a short walk away?
