Many if not most people on earth don’t think their life will be judged when an accident,
illness or last breath means the end of life has arrived. Indeed, nearly all people imagine
that what they remember before they were conceived (nothing) is the state to which they
will return; again without intervening judgement.
According to the author, Antony Forster, neither is true. He asks, “How could anyone go
through life praising God for introducing Jesus Christ in human form on earth and to be the
propitiation for our sins, only to disappear into infinite oblivion, without judgement?”
And, “How could someone who mercilessly treads down upon colleagues in order to rise up
in business and make millions expect to go anywhere but hell?”
Antony’s naive attempt at saving one out of one hundred strays is certainly thought
provoking. It’s a polemic that is reflective, touching, biblical, anecdotal and, occasionally,
amusing; at the same time as providing an opportunity for open-minded people to change
their lives at no cost, it offers people the chance of an afterlife in paradise, rather than an
eternally punishing time where there is constant weeping and gnashing of teeth.
