Howard, nice to meet you in this thread. Pardon me for jumping in. Let me introduce myself: I'm an atheist. And I'm currently reading the book Atheology from Michel Onfray, a French philosopher. His book is currently widely read in France. I suppose it is also on the market in your country. The topic has my attention because I fear the militant religeous people. As I read your words, you are not militant, but you are very convinced that God exists, right? Do you mind to debate some quests? You should know that it is indeed my goal to induce some doubt about the existence of God in your head. Not militantly, but merely with arguments. Can I shoot?

Okay, here is my first quest: How long is eternity and how can He be worshipped if you were not able to take your senses with you to heaven? I mean, you'll have no eyes to see Him, relatives and friends, no muscles and bones to move around, no nose to smell, no brain to remember anyone or anything, no voice to speak.
