tl;dr summary: author presents several straw-man arguments that are predicated on a shallow understanding of not only Christianity and its views on the afterlife, but humanity's bounds.
One of the better comments (by "Matt"): "I really don't see 'meta-atheism' as explaining anything that can't be accounted for by the limits of human discernment, prudence, and will."
Although this one's good too (especially out of context): "People simply don't posess the capacity to behave in a way that reflects perfectly consistent intertemporal preferences. Many of the people I cite above know perfectly well the bad fates that await them for their poor choices. It's just that at the time, Salma Hayek's heaving bosom seems more urgent than whatever might happen the following day."
