My ice cream isn't going to last forever. It might as well not have been made. So why should I bother eating it?

depends on what you mean by that. do you mean it will change it's material state? do you mean the matter making it up is going to be destroyed?

If there is a heaven. Then again, how do you know? Your are making assertions based
on a belief system. There is NO evidence that a heaven or hell exists. Please provide
extraordinary evidence when making extraordinary claims. Your personal revelation is
useless to another.

Why should we demand evidence for an assertion?

People who are athiests only say that they do not believe in God just so they can have an excuse to live out their lives in their own sinful lifestyle, thus making themselves their own god. But their conscience bears witness to them that there is a God, they just choose to harden their hearts and therefore their conscious becomes dull, which is a dangerous thing.

For an atheist, that is a legitimate question to ask oneself.

Okay, I guess I'll answer it. The reason someone would eat the ice cream would be because it is delicious to them. I wouldn't eat it because I am vegan. Now, as for why do I deal with living? Because living is enjoyable, even if it might only be temporary. Consciousness has value, even if it doesn't last forever.

Probably neither. It will likely be a chemical change.

I don't understand this line of reasoning. Why wouldn't they just acknowledge the existence of a god while also deciding to live by their own rules?

God is real, and we need to really have fellowship with God, to know Him. only if i could put my life on a big picture screen, to show the evidence, that God is real. But i think God wants us to get to know Him personally, not by what God has done in someone else. Thank you Christ Jesus, for proving that You and the Father are real. How can one doubt when his life is living proof?
