The cradle rocks above an abyss, and common sense tells us that our existence is but a brief crack of light between two eternities of darkness. Although the two are identical twins, man, as a rule, views the prenatal abyss with more calm than the one he is heading for.

Jesus’ promise of resurrection of believers came with a demonstration. He did it and said His followers who die will do same. This is leadership! It’s based on truth!

If heaven really exists: then, technically, living is an activity that believers keep themselves busy with — while they wait for their death.

Without the sun, there is no shadow; without the Son, there is only shadow.

There is neither a Heaven for a Hell. Life after Death is an oxymoron. Life is just another word for existence, and Death is just another word for non-existence.

We need not fear death, for it is simply the next phase of life. We never die, we simply change form - just as we have since the day we were born.

I’ll tell you what I don’t believe, Alwyn. I don’t believe there’s a pretty forest in the sky with castles and a white light and God and all his angels waiting to welcome all the good people in. And you and me standing there sick with nerves while they check us out to see if we’ve made the grade. That sounds too much like immigrating to Australia.

Other than the promise of life after death, nothing consoles the poor better than the fact that rich people are also subject to death.

Death would not surprise us as often as it does, if we let go of the misbelief that newborns are less mortal than the elderly.

One day with knowing the reality is better than hundred years without knowing the reality.
