All that is well and good, but it assumes that there is in fact a god. If in fact your boyfriend turns out to be right (and it's highly probable that he will) then you lose nothing by marrying him. In fact, if he is right, then you will have him for the BEST PART of his eternity. The path he is on after he dies is of no consequence.

I've been at it 42 years, have seen not a shred of evidence of a diety, and have not suffered a minute for it. It sure would have gummed up my social life if I worried about where people were going to be "after".

If my companions wanted to go to church, fine. I've even gone with them on occasion. The music was nice, the doughnuts tasty and it got me out of bed earlier.
