Resurrection and eternal life in paradise, guaranteed or your money back. Who could ask for a better deal than that?

It is a tad difficult to claim your money back when you are, well, dead.

I’m slightly curious if this has anything to do with the question I asked this morning. Looking forward to reading the responses here.

Wouldn’t it really suck if you bought into this and then you find yourself in hell with no way to communicate so you can ask for your refund?

Where’s the complaint window? And it’s not money, it’s time!

@zenvelo Ah, but time is money. *Waggles eyebrows

Guaranteed. Much like the virgins and paradise to Muslims from what I understand.

Can’t knock great marketing!

Wait, wait, wait, wait…resurrection and eternal life-! Does that include sex-? I would really hate it if all I do is sing while floating above fluffy white clouds…

I highly doubt that any single person, council, organization, religion, religious book, place of worship, etc has any authority on morality, or our fate.

The premise is untestable. Since there is no way to show it to be false, then there is no empirical way to demonstrate that it is true.

I cannot imagine many people believing in an afterlife if they have not experienced the presence of a person who has passed on. I have on a few occasions so I’m a firm believer in it. As far as how enjoyable it is I have no idea.

@ragingloli Are you suggesting that might have something to do with the there being no claims against the guarantee? :-)

Actually, @RandomGirl, I write up questions in advance as they occur to me and generally post one per day. This was part of a three-question series that I started formulating a week ago, and posted starting two days ago. The first was of the three-part series, posted two days ago, was Which religion has the most sectarianism? and that was followed by Why does Christianity have the most sectarianism? yesterday and this question today. What inspired this series was not your question, but my answer to this question asked by JoeyOhSoClever a week ago. These three questions have been biding their time on my hard drive since JoeyOhSoClever’s question.

The hoot is I wondered if my series inspired your question. Obviously not, but asking questions inspired by those other people ask seems to me fair game. We just aren’t supposed to ask the same question that’s just been covered.

@Adirondackwannabe That would suck so much it seems the advertising for eternal life should come with one of those flash-it-on-the-screen ultra-fine-print disclaimers.

@zenvelo According to some advertisers, it’s perfectly OK to live the life of lust and depravity, then fall on your knees and invite Jesus into your heart moments before dying, and you are in. Just watch the timing.

@KNOWITALL Indeed.

@Shippy How true. Selling something you don’t have, don’t have to make, and don’t have to issue refunds on.

@mazingerz88 Isn’t it curious that on the vital point of what paradise is like, the Bible is startlingly silent. Just pay your dues for entry, and see.

@Paradox25 I agree.

@josie I’m not ready to follow the path to verification.

@Dr_Lawrence I agree it is not supported by evidence. I disagree that, if it were true, it would have to be untestable.

@Aster Interesting. Is this an experience you feel you can share?
