This thread is not about Judeo Christian anything. The question is "do you believe in God?"
The belief in God does not automatically assume any religious belief.
That is where you are struggling.
Religious Believers have tenants of there religious organization that may include an afterlife.
What I believe religiously has no bearing on The God Poll.
I never said I have an eternity to wait. Nor did I comment on the afterlife other than to say, some people have an eternity to wait. Other don't.
You must admit that some people believe in an afterlife. You are trying your best to attribute that understanding to all people that believe in God . When you do that you are in error.

BTW: to answer your question as it pertains to this thread "The God Poll", I believe that all thing that exist were created. I call that creator God.
I also believe that Turbo Charging is the finest evolution of the internal combustion engine.
You are being disingenous Turbo, and trying to deflect.

You have declared yourself a believer.

It was you, not me, who raised in THIS thread the notion that believers will "have eternity to learn" or words to that effect. And this would seem to be consistent with the broadly held beliefs of Christians, and indeed other faiths.

Now, I may have made an assumption about your beliefs, but I think not unreasonbly, given the totality of your statements. Yet you quite savagley questioned my integrity and credibility for doing so.

So, this the extent of my interest as to what you may or may not belief. Im asking you to clarify- do YOU believe in an afterlife?

If no, please accept my apologies for misrepresenting your views.

If yes, I'll be pleased to accept yours.
