7 year old scared, dying of cancer. Would you tell her she's going to heaven, and she'll be met there by her Nana? *I wouldn't hesitate.*
You hear atheists say they only care about what's true. I suspect they don't know themselves very well or aren't thinking clearly.

@PhilosophyExp I tell my daughter that I only want her to do her best but I could come up with a scenario in which not trying wld be better. -
@PhilosophyExp equivalent to dying child scenario. If a girl coming top in exam brought her to attention of Taliban, better to be mediocre.
