In this man's case I would not pay for his story. Money has a way of adversly affecting someone's testimony. Besides, I am just not the type of person to pay for something like that anyway.
Question: would you pay for love (not sex, love)? No? Why not? Because you cannot buy love. Right? Right. Well, neither can you buy Truth.

That is not buying Truth. I made an intelligent, wise decision to follow Jesus Christ before I ever heard about Heaven. My motivation for following Jesus Christ was His love for me. His love is so precious that it just makes you weep. There isn't any love like the love of Jesus anywhere in the universe. A love that is truly unconditional, tender, giving, sacrificial, compassionate, and free.
Heaven is wonderful, fascinating and great, but it pales in comparison to Love (i.e. a Man called Jesus the Christ).
The beginning of wisdom is accepting the love of Jesus Christ into your heart.

If only wisdom was so easily definable.
I don't have a problem with anyone's faith, I think it can be a great thing, but I don't like the whole if you don't do this you're going to hell thing. Faith should be a personal thing, not a form of oneupmanship.

I'm on about the characteristic sometimes seen in Christians, whereby they tell you what you're doing wrong and compare it, to what they're doing right. Thereby, making it seem that their decisions have been better than yours.

I know, read my above post, in which I stated I have no problem with faith. I just feel that the aforementioned characteristic, is often prominent on this forum.

That is the most absurd comment that I have ever read in my life. There is evidence for God's existence all around me. Evertime that my heart beats, the sun shines, the moon appears to glow, the ocean waves flow, the mountains loom, the birds sing, flowers bloom, the rain pours, the wind blows, the stars twinkle, I see an awesome sunset, or see a Eva Mendez and Jessica Alba--I know that God exists.
So, no, you are wrong again.

I can't believe you think that's proved me wrong. The fact that you can see things is no evidence, not to me anyway, it's evidence to you that backs up your faith. It's subjective.
