then should we be Agnostic?  I'm sorry if I don't see the benefits of being an Atheist. I love the idea of an after life...it beats just being in a box.

The existence of an afterlife isn't dependent on whether or not you believe there is an afterlife.

And it sounds like you would be a theists just in case there is a God. That doesn't sound like true faith to me, so I doubt a God would let you in anyway.

You know, i find that another funny aspect of religion. The devil and the right to enter heaven.

How do we go around justifying the existance of a satan? If god exists, created us and is omnipotent. Doesnt he have the power to prevent us from doing something that he doesnt want us to? Why would he feel the need to let us do it and later punish us with terrible horrors. Wouldnt he see us as children that dont know what they are doing, like we would see a 2 year old?  Then there was the need to personify this with the character of Satan. How absolutely curious that this enforcement was put in place so it could have a form.
