esp if you’re one of the devout ones who think they’ve been really good

    I agree with you.
    Either the person isn’t a ‘good follower’ and isn’t going to the good place.
    Or they don’t actually believe. Because there should be no fear or apprehension about going to the good place

      People who believe in God will still scream during a fatal car accident. Belief in religion has nothing to do with the natural survival instinct.

      You’re trying to set up an idiotic no-win situation that has no bearing on reality.

        A fatal car accident is different. Could be a shock scare or just not wanting to be injured.

        Belief in god has no bearing in reality.

        Having said that, my grandfather outlived my grandmother by 10-15 years. On his deathbed, he was holding some marriage pictures. He was looking forward to seeing her. Guy believed 100%. Still makes me tear up thinking about it.

          “it’s different”

          No, if a test has no possible win outcome, then it’s not a true test.

          “Heads I win, tails you lose” is not proof of your ability to predict a coin toss.
