    Yes, we know. You can rape and pillage your entire lives and then kiss the ecclesiastical AS$ and be good to go.

    Yes, that is what christians do all the time.

    But atheists know that the life you lead matters, that a life of debauchery is unacceptable and immoral.

    Actually, very few are going to heaven.

    Revelation 5:10 says those who go to heaven will rule over the earth with Jesus Christ.

    So a lot of people will be resurrected on earth.

    That Kind of Generalization is NOT TRUE.

    One has to "LUG" the BUNDLE of one's OWN "SINS" (Dusht Karma) and one has to JETTISON the bundle from his / her back by performing ENORMOUS virtues (SAT KARMA) --a small "SIN" can be removed only by Huge VIRTUOUS ACTION is explained by a Story =>

    => a Defeated and Imprisoned old King was asked to manually break Half a Dozen Huge Granite Boulders with an Iron Hammer and Chistle --The King asked an Ascetic =>"What SIN I committed "? --The Ascetic replied => "As an adolescent -Arrogant Prince, you put a Stone pebble in the Food of a very poor child when he was eating and enjoyed the "FUN" --now you pay for it --by cutting that small stone pebble as six huge boulders

    Bhagavan (GOD) Sri.Krishna tells Arjuna => GOD (VIBHU HU) DOES NOT PARTAKE IN THE "SINS" (PAAPAM) NOR IN VIRTUES (SUKRUTHAM) OF THE HUMAN BEINGS --HAVE NOT EVEN AN IOTA OF DOUBT (KAtHAACIT) "

    Bhagavaan Uvaacha =>

    ' NA DHATTE KATHAACIT PAAPAM NA CHAIVA SUKRUTHAM VIBHU HU " (Bhagavat Gita -5-15)

    "A HUMAN COMMITTING DEBAUCHERY, BY JUST APPEALING TO GOD => "O-GOD SAVE Me--CAN NOT ESCAPE PUNISHMENT IS THE LAW MADE BY GOD "

    " A LAW MAKER WILL NOT BE A LAW BREAKER"

    Be very careful when "tempting" God. The Lord hardened Pharaoh's heart several times. "Seek the LORD while he may be found; call on him while he is near." (Isaiah 55:6). What does it mean, "while he is near" or "while he may be found"? Isn't God everywhere? Isn't He sitting on the sidelines waiting for my call? God is everywhere, that is everywhere He chooses to be. "Seek the Lord WHILE He MAY be FOUND". There is no more sound advice in the universe.

    Why would I want to do either of those? BTW, this is just another rehash of Pascal's wager in a sense.
