The Thessaliad Redux

Yes, very much dependent on the faith. A certain theory about the afterlife is that everyone gets what they expect, and I tend to like that one despite the fact that it means that some seriously psychotic people will wind up getting eternal paradise ... unless some shred of conscience residing in the subconscious mind tells them that, really, they don't deserve to, in which case it'll be an unpleasant surprise to the rest of their consciousness but still fit in with the theory. In any case, it saddens me that there's a strong possibility that militant atheists just stop existing, mind and soul, after they die, but I guess my faith is such that I figure there's provision for that. Conservation of energy (and of mass) states that nothing can be created or destroyed, only have its state changed; shouldn't the same hold true for that indefinable thing in humanity that makes us want to create art, or believe in a higher power in the first place? So I don't worry about atheists so much ... unless, of course, they wind up defending their position by taking an offensive tack, which has riled me since time out of mind.
