See the poll: Are you sure you're saved?
Are the 6 people who voted something less than 100% certain (one of which was "no idea") miserable people?
I just think it's funny how there is so much "we are right and everyone else is wrong" going on in lots of very different religions, and we are somehow supposed to guess right which of them really have the right to say that. Those 23 voters for 100% certainty sure are lucky!  |
I don't dislike Bill Maher because he's agnostic. I dislike him because he's annoying. 
As for "guessing right"--I think you start with tangible evidence of divine intervention, and then track historically the interactions of that Being with humanity. Follow the bread crumbs, as they say.
