"Seek and ye shall find, ask and it shall be given, knock and it shall be opened unto you" Find in yourself the desire to learn the truth. then study the scriptures pray, experiment on the teaching you find in the scriptures by living them, seek for God and ask Him with a sincere heart and you will find Him.

...... What happens after one dies? Are unanswerable. And are severely uncomfortable. The only reason for religion is to deal with these unsettling questions. When you 'found god', you just gave yourself an unconcious comfort level which helps you live your life.

I'd swallow the bait, but your mind is already set. You're not looking for answers, you're looking for an argument.

Mark 3:20-21 (KJV)
20 And the multitude cometh together again, so that they could not so much as eat bread.
21When his family heard about this, they went to take charge of him, for they said, "He is out of his mind."
31 There came then his brethren and his mother, and, standing without, sent unto him, calling him.

Depends on whether you believe the Bible. The 'death' question is answered there.
You misunderstand christianity. If you think being one gives a person life comfort you have NO idea what you're talking about. The ONLY comfort Christians have is the promise that all this will be worth it, if we're faithful. Not that it will be easy.

You're belief in the "Gospel according to Gene Roddenberry" requires, at least, as much faith as does my belief in the Bible.

As for creation, while we can not have direct experience of the past, the best we can do is speculate, but there is a vast, and growing, body of evidence regarding cosmogenesis which in no way involves a supreme being. In the choice between faith and physical evidence, faith gets trumped every time.

Which was my point, exactly.
Except Christ.

Exactly what independent and repeatedly verifiable evidence do you have the Christ returned from the dead?
There is actually proof that Christ Jesus did not die on the cross but recovered from his 3 hour ordeal, was healed and then moved to France where he and his wife had children. Christ's children also had children whose great, great, great grandchildren live in France to this very day.
see http://www.bookfinder.us/review4/0440136482.html for verified proof.
