What will matter a million years from now is whether God exists and whether there is life after death. Your life on earth is either all there is, the end of the road, or it is the first stop on a never-ending journey. Please hear me. You have absolutely no say in this matter! All you can do is try to determine which destination is true, and adjust your life accordingly. Until you settle the issue of God’s exis tence, I doubt that you will ever know true peace of mind, especially as you near the end of your life. I’ve been a hospice chaplain for over twenty-five years. I work with the terminally ill. I can tell you that it is much easier to live as an atheist than to die as one. Speaking as one who has ministered to thousands of terminally ill patients, of the few atheists I’ve known, most did not die well. For them there was no light at the end of the tunnel, no hope, only nothingness and non- existence awaiting them.
