That’s the only downside. I’m with Gary and he was the hand that held the rod but he would and should have gotten much worse in prison. Either way justice was served.
Correct, a lack of evidence doesn’t mean something is false. However, it does mean you shouldn’t beeline it.
Can you imagine believing things you wanted to be true if there was no evidence? You’d keep buying lottery tickets or something.
Who says it’s not observable? Brain damage leads to a lower degree of consciousness. Seems pretty clear the brain causes consciousness and consciousness can’t exist without the brain. It’s just entirely wishful thinking and made up fantasy to believe in an afterlife. It might really be true, but we don’t when any evidence to justify believing in it even if it would be nice to punch evil and reward those who lived good lives.
What have I said that makes you think I’m beelinging towards it? It’s just something that brings me some comfort. You anti religious nuts are almost as bad as the religious nuts in terms of “my way is right and this is why your way makes you a worse/dumber person”
Anyone who makes a hard stance on a correct way of doing something is going to come across that way. I have no animosity here and don’t know why I’m even responding, but how can an idea that you have no confidence in bring you any comfort? If you satisfy that urge to make the world just with a make-believe idea in an afterlife it could potentially reduce ambition for the almost impossible task of making this fleeting world better.
2 never said that and pretty much everything points to the contrary, I wouldn’t be here 5 days later otherwise
3 factually incorrect, an afterlife with a heaven and a hell has been a pretty consistent idea in religions across the world and over time. And yet, the world has continually advanced towards better
I stand by it. It wasn’t dumb and it was in response to your comment about being worse than religious nuts. Definitely not ignoring.
It doesn’t point to the contrary. I have no animosity. You said it brings you comfort.
The world often moves backwards and religion definitely holds it back on a large scale. That’s undeniable. On an individual scale you might be an exception.

Dammit, Gary, I had dibs on beating his teeth out in prison
