Possibly because...
...of my belief that religion is utter nonsense and little more in the modern world than a tool used by the state to control the simple-minded. This is assuming that I'm wrong, of course - wouldn't be the first time but I would be very surprised if it were so. Actually, that's probably the biggest understatement I've ever made, verbal or written.

That said, if I am wrong and insert-your-preferred-deity-here really goes for all that 'Ooh, we're all really impressed down here' bullshit then he-or-she-or-more-likely-it will get the middle finger from me for being so far up his/her/its own celestial arse regardless of my endgame score. Not to mention the fact that my Dad and both of my brothers will have been taken from us by the fucker well before thier time (the last of whose ashes I'm going back to my hometown to settle in the Memorial Garden with my Mum tomorrow - she and I are now the only remaining members of the nuclear family that I was born to, and knowing it sucks big-time). I'd have some stern fucking words to say about that if the opportunity presented itself.

So no last-minute, no-balls, U-turning repentance for me - fuck that gutless wonderment - I'll stand by my decisions and suffer eternal damnation and torment on principle, and I'll do it with as much aplomb as I can muster.

Also, if I'm wrong and that nutter Leviticus was right to boot then I'm on the express elevator down without passing Go or collecting £200 in any case.

I'm with you on that one.
Heaven must be a very quiet place if the Bible is to be interpreted literally.

Let's hope everyone is wrong.
