Your right, dreaming of a paradise earth is a hard sell no matter how much "proof" you can show in the bible. I honestly think that we do just have this one life. Do your best, be content and happy with who you are and what your about. When I die I want to have no regrets and I believe it will be the same way you were before you where born.....nothing.

I always have and still do have a problem with faith and that is huge.
