All I'm asking is a simple question.

The question has been repeatedly been answered. See post #813.

You are comparing two completely different lives.

And what are you doing?

People have a pretty good idea of how they'll spend their time on this planet

“Pretty good idea” is good enough for you here but not there. That is the hate filled double standard you deny!

An eternal life is a step into the unknown

All life is unknown to a significant degree.

I'm just interested in what Christians are expecting

And this has been repeatedly answered.

You say that you have all the information you need.
What information is that?
See post #813.

Okay, my interest has gone.
There was nothing hate filled about anything that I've asked.
If you want to portray me as a hater then fine.

Your belief gives you no hope, no afterlife, no seeing your loved ones again, there is no desire to keep up with the lost like you
Yeah, and as I've also said numerous times, because my view offers no hope that doesn't mean it's incorrect.

Who are the happier ? Those with hope or those without ?
Your belief gives you no hope, nothing to look forward to except for what you can do while still breathing

That’s true but only shows your religion is a double negative; not only is it wrong, it is foolish, hopeless, etc. You believe there must have been a creator but claim it cares nothing for its Creation and deny the Creator is the Christian God despite the evidence posting many times to you in this very thread.

You’re OK with having a pretty good idea of what life involves on this side of death but that’s not good enough for the next side of life. This, you pretend your faith pivots upon.

Having said all that, I am sorry for the loss of your sister. I can’t recall if you already answered this, but was she a believer?

The level of happiness or comfort a world view gives to you has no relevance in whether it's true.
The thought of death (and remaining dead) is not pleasant, but based on evidence that's what happens.

Conc :-
The only real hope you have is that you don't wake up in eternity facing the One you have rejected while alive

This agnostic atheist wants no further part in this thread. It's not really gone in a good or worthwhile direction.
If any of you would like to have a normal conversation about life in general, I'll be happy to talk to you.
I love gardening, football, playing pool, singing.
I can talk all day about my wonderful wife and kids.

Once you take your last breath you have at absolute best NOTHING to look forward to
All you can do is enjoy now & hope there is no afterlife
