If you were to die a few minutes from now where do you think God would send you?

Would He send me where I want to go?

I think that spending eternity with a bunch of fundies, churchies, YECies and faith-onlies would be hell. I'd rather be with the ones who "did unto others".

As it happens, arriving at a destination means you can get off and check out the surroundings.

And while you're checking out your "destination", the train moves on without you.

There is plenty to be questioned. Just not the destination.

Your "destination" is strictly one of your own choosing. The real destination - the "end of the line" - is one that you will not see if you get off prematurely.

The question you need to ask yourself is, "Is this the destination, or do I need to stay on the train?"

I stayed on until He booted me off. There wasn't much opportunity to question IIRC.

You miss the point.

Don't waste your efforts complaining about what you didn't question in the past.
The time to be questioning is now.

And the questions to be asking include, "Why did He kick poor iano off the train when so many others are still on it?" and "What is poor iano missing while he's stuck in the station?"
