And therein lies true contentment. :smile: It's the wisest way to live.
Once again, no no no Karrie. Here's why:
If you truly believe in the concept of an afterlife and the right way to get there, and you have any compassion for the fate of others, I hope to goodness you will knock on my door and try to save me.
I'm not kidding. Serious as a heart attack here. If this person has knowledge of the afterlife, darn right I want them to convince me. It's just that this former Sunday School teacher has yet to be (re)convinced.
Live and let live works fine is you do not believe in the afterlife and the faithful are not harming you, and they do not seem to be harming themselves (at least too much). Not interfering if I am right does no harm, and if I am wrong, interfering could cause a great deal of harm.
What about non-evangelizing when you are certain in your faith? If you were wrong about the afterlife, no harm done, maybe even a small good. But if you were right? Oh, man - you could have saved so many from a life of eternal torment (or whatever the bad thing might be - maybe stuck in an elevator with me forever), but you never even tried.
This is why I am always friendly to the LDSs and JWs that come to my door. They wish me well - no doubt about that.
Wish I could say the same about all the other true believers who don't bother.
