with that said... if the bible was proven and i was a believer than nothing will phase me even death b/c i know i'm going to heaven.

That's all true, but like I said before....Death and the life after is NOT the only trial a person has to go thru. If it were, then Heaven would not be a very special place because it would be so easy to get there.

You have it ingrained in your mind that Religion is only one thing; Do what you want, ask for forgiveness, go straight to Heaven.

It doesn't work that easily Paul. Yes, if you microdisect the Bible you could oversimplify and make it anything you want. But life is not about Cliff notes. It's a little more involved than that.

Just like in school....if you only read the Cliff notes and not the book itself.....you won't ace the test. You may pass it, but you won't ace it. Religion is much more black and white. There are no B's and C's, only A's and F's. Like I said, you can't ace by reading the Cliff notes. So you can't merely "wing it" in life and expect to get a great reward. Doesn't work that way.
