interesting. .. christians somtimes want to 'help' friends to get to heaven and be with god last minute. Its not surprising that lee kwan yew wife is being approached by chrisitan friends over this.
Most rich people usually will be approached and convert last minute because to safe bet. However, this is merely a psychological trick which gives people a form a insurance.
To convert or not to convert gives the same probability of going to heaven, if it exist.The equation is as follows...
If heaven exist{
if convert = 50% chance of entering heaven
otherwise don't convert = 50% of entering heaven }
If heaven dun exist{
convert or dun convert does not make hell of a difference}
That is the true C programming for God's algorithm
What you're using is Pascal's wager, go wiki it, it's a very weak argument for faith really but it was actually what kept my "faith" going in the last few months or so before my deconversion from religion.
The thing is, it's not 50% chance at all. What if Muslims and not Christians are right? Hindus also, or Scientologists, or Greek gods, or literally any kisiao god you can imagine. So the real chance of entering heaven if heaven exists is 0.000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001*infinity percent.
But still better than 0% right? Eh but the thing is, the odds of success exactly the same for non-believers as well. What if god dictated that you can only go to heaven if you DON'T believe? Or what if it's based on morals only (like in Buddhism? not sure)
Fact is, there are infinite possibilities for the kind of god or heaven that might exist so really it's better for one to stick to his or her beliefs all the way, maybe you might get rewarded after all :)
p.s. I hope you not religious ah, january.
the Old Bastard would worship the devil to get what he wants lah.....................
hope he very quickly join his dead ugly wife .................rotting in hell...............
