Back then my first answer was, of course, a trailing chorus of "well it's not"

When I finally came off my high horse long enough to answer the mans question I told him...

If it was all a lie... If, when this life is over, I found that there is no God... no heaven... no hell... I still will have lived the better life.

This life brings peace, happiness, contentment etc.

Just like the laws of nature all of Gods laws are true.

If you crawl out on the end of that limb... it will break... it is a law of nature...

If you live this way... it will return to you peace & contentment... it is a law of God.

If you live the way of the world... It will return to you regret, hurt & pain... it is a law of God.

God didn't create gravity to punish those who climb trees... it is climbing trees that familiarizes us with the consequences of that law.

God does not return hurt & pain to punish those who do not follow his law... it is living after the ways of the flesh that familiarize us with the consequences of that law.
To live according to the laws of our creator has it's very own set of rewards that are laws which work for us.

With a proper understanding one doesn't need doses of fear and ridicule to live this life. This life is good enough to want... all on it's own.

That is soo true...For a long time it was in my head that God was sitting on edge, waiting for me to mess up....I felt like I was walking on egg shells, afraid of a God of mercy....All along I knew that wasn't so, but it was the atmosphere I had been in.... Yes you do reap what you sow....I believe that completey. But when you focus on that, you get a lot of people who slowly loose their joy in living for God! But when you focus on the beauty of living for God, you will find folks that wont want to straddle the fence, or just try to get by.....they'll want to live a close to heaven as they could!!!!!
