A wise man (Blaise Pascal) once said something like this:
If God doesn't exist, then it doesn't matter how we live. The only meaningful record of our lives, our memories, would be completely obliterated in death.
Whether we love or hate Him, pretend He doesn't exist, do good or evil;
Whether you starve to death at age 2 or live in luxury till 90;
Without a God,
All would be erased when the maggots ate our brains.
All memory of our lives disappears at death,
All manner of lives lived,
All becomes meaningless nothing: we might as well have never existed.
All disappears exactly as if it had never happened.
However, if I obstinately choose my own selfish way, and He does exist, I will have lost everything for eternity.
Therefore I will choose to love Him, because if in the end all memory of my life is lost, I would have lost nothing. But if He exists, I gain everything.
