Of course, in matters of metaphysics, there is no science to back it up. Unfortunately, religious zealots have this bad habit of assuming their zeal somehow magically transforms matters of faith into matters of fact. From my perspective, the guy online telling me to believe in Jesus is no different from the guy at the airport telling me to chant Hare Krishna. I have no reason to believe either one of them.

It comes to faith, then hope and then charity(love). I learned this weekend(acc to King Bible) that in heaven, faith and hope are not present(no longer necessary), leaving only love. Here on planet earth it's a matter of choice.
