I have to talk like that. It's an odd celestial contractual obligation. Sorry for the confusion but thanks for the kudos. That's just how it goes. It will make sense in a couple years or so.

Kudos Op!

I disagree, the points are worthless for the most part.

Also, I don't take you seriously with this, you must be joking.

You have over 100k points.

Now maybe thats what you do, but to accuse others of it is pretty hypocritical isn't it?

I am not accusing you of doing it, I said maybe you do, I don't know thats for you to decide since it's your life. But you did clearly accuse the OP of doing it, which IMHO derails things pretty badly.

That is not how you debunk or argue a case either. Instead I would suggest giving your opinion about the subject posted as a better format for "debunking a topic".

Now on Topic ::

I think that people are brave as hell when they are alive and well. They ignore the fact death is on it's way to get us all sooner or later. So of course they will be pompous and think they are so tough when everything is going fine, as usual.

But when something goes wrong, watch them break down in complete total fear and cowardice and start begging for God or whatever to forgive them etc etc. It's human nature.

People back down when the going gets rough.

Same for these so called tough guys who aren't afraid of the unknown. Oh they are afraid, trust me. Very afraid.

Thats why they back out at the last minute. Just like someone going for their first sky dive. That's why the instructors Push them out anyways ! Hahah! Good game.

I’m not sure what the point is; what impact does a person being scared on their deathbed have on the argument about whether or not there is a god? Does being about to die confer a greater understanding? Surely it is when people are calm that they are most rational.

Don't worry about it now, you will know in your dead bed

Some people are like animals because they don't think about the future, I was like that, I thought about today, right now, you would be amazed where that lead me

I believe it means" in my humble opinion". Anyways its true that no matter what facts are present, we will never know if an afterlife really exists since we die and never come back from the unknown. Unless zombie jesus has something to do with it.

Some of the issue is I'm falling over, needing rest.

Some more is I noticed in the comments some doubt over the veracity of at least one quote. Who really said what? Is it taken out of context in or outright innacurate in places in order to try to frighten me into accepting religion, or worse, a particular religion. Why did it seem to try to paint Ghandi in a negative light, for not being of a particular religion? Does the videographer really understand what was meant?

Those are some of my questions, irrespective of my personal beliefs. I resent and resist any attempt to manipulate me through any sort of induction of fear. The attempts raise red flags concerning motives.

The existence of intelligent ghosts would prove an afterlife exists.

However, "echo phenomena" would not prove an afterlife, because it is easily explained with a more simple physics formula.

So we would need an intelligent and aware ghost of a deceased human to classify it as a proven fact.

And yes IMHO means In my humble opinion. I apologize for using shorthand. It's a bad habit and hard to get out of. My bad.

One other thing to note is that an afterlife doesn't prove the existence of a creator. An afterlife and a creator are in fact separate questions.

Certainly an afterlife could exist without one, just because the universe is as such.

Certainly a creator could deny all creations an afterlife.

Sure, I'm overly objective at times but what the hey.

Agreed 100%.

It is just like the story of the grasshopper and the ant.

The grasshopper only thinks about today, and thus dies when the winter comes.

But the ant thinks about tomorrow, and prepares all year for the upcoming winter. Thus the ant survives and the grasshopper perishes the cold months.

So what are you if you don't believe there is a God?

Satanism really has nothing to do with Satan; the creed is "do what thou wilt".

I asked questions, how can questions be close minded? Do you have an answer to them?
