"live" forever in heaven (if you are good), partially true - We live forever because someone else was good (Christ) and his goodness (sinlessness) is attributed tot those who believe. The question of why is there sin (including the 6 million Jews) in the world can only be answered the following way: And that is because God has a greater purpose in mind that the temporal, which could include those children being with him now. Sin is being dealt with and put away, and one day will exist no more. This argument always fascinates me, in that the manner of death seems important, why ? Everybody dies and sometimes a "fast" death is better, I don't see much difference.


Looking at this at purely a rational level, I don't see why anybody would want to believe in ultimate meaninglessness, it doesn't give a person much reason to exist or to even get up in the morning. I will not end with a condescending comment, but will say I appreciate your sincerity and forthrightness. Have a great New Year.
