HERE’S THE DEAL!
Suppose you had $75,000 to spend on a luxury automobile. You would want to spend plenty of time getting all the facts, reports, and views on test drives. You would do your research and investigate, comparing each car to see the pros and cons. You wouldn’t rush or take any opinion lightly.
Assume you needed to buy 10 acres with a home that had five-thousand square feet. Once again you would spend time carefully weighing the options and considering the alternate choices. You would examine each possibility and carefully, candidly consider every opportunity. You wouldn’t use any guesses or hunches, everything would be studied out openly and thoroughly.
What if you had a medical condition? You would gather all the information you could. Certainly more than one opinion would be worth it. You would be reading, asking everyone you knew, searching books and the internet. You wouldn’t spare a thing if your life depended one it...
What about the possibility of life after death? Some say this life is all there is and then it’s over. But others say a way has been provided so we can live forever. If there is only a 10% chance that you can live forever, isn’t it worth the effort to check it out very carefully and very thoroughly? What have you got to lose by looking into it? If there is ANY possibility to live perpetually, isn’t the potential gain worth the effort? You wouldn’t want to mess up the greatest opportunity you ever had in all your life! Surely the potential for endless life is worth a very careful, thoughtful and sincere investigation into why millions of intelligent people have given their lives for this belief. Surely you are worth at the very least that much time and effort.
If there is only a 5% chance that an Almighty Creator made the universe, and evil entered because He gave us all freedom of choice – wouldn’t the Sovereign King have a right to be angry at those who rejected or ridiculed His offer of everlasting life? This offer of life was provided at great personal and emotional pain to himself, so of course He cares how people respond to His efforts. Have you ever considered that?

Very nice article. I like your "what if" style of getting the reader to think, and this technique can be very effective when making the attempt to get others to think about the fact that they have been created and that they have a Creator who calls the shots. Not only that, but this technique then can get the reader to think about their eternal destiny, causing them to look further into the matter. Nice job!
