If there was nothing after this life...

Some researcher (I don't remember his name) surveyed a few hundred people who believed themselves to be firm believing Christians, and asked them if they would continue living a Christ-like life and be the way they are if there was no heaven or afterlife at all. You get burried in the ground and turn into dust.

The results (again, I don't remember exactly what they were) were surprising. As it turns out, something that brings happiness to so many people, would be dropped in an instant if what they believe in if it was proved wrong.

What I ask you, is... what is worse, a lie that brings a smile, or a truth that brings a tear?
