Life is the functioning of a body, when the body stops functioning life ends.
Until you can prove otherwise that is what happens, can you show otherwise?

Thought not.

Not how it works. Beliefs don't need to be proven.

You claim that "Life is the functioning of a body, when the body stops functioning life ends." as if it's a fact, THAT statement needs proof.

RE: Question about death to Atheists.
I agree.  However....

If beliefs do not need to be proven then beliefs are dismissable without -any- consideration.  Consider yours dismissed, and for no reason other than your leaving them so exposed. 

Well done Huggy. You, personally, failed christ.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Beliefs don't need to be proven because the lack of proof is what makes it a belief, they are mutually exclusive.

That being said, accepting a belief is a personal choice and I've never stated otherwise, so dismiss all you want.

Belief and proof are mutually exclusive..you say?  Good god, the hits just keep on coming.

RE: Question about death to Atheists.
You'd have to take that up with your compatriots in faith.  I'm not going to get in your way if you're intent on gutting your own beliefs.

If you tell me that beliefs don't need to be proven, and that beliefs are mutually exclusive to proof.....I'm gonna roll with that.

Fair enough... Huggy's not saying God exists, he's just saying that he believes God exists...

Correct?

Better than his usual schtick, I'd welcome such a change in heart...but something tells me that he'll balk, sooner or later.

I'm taking it up with you since it's a concept YOU seem to have a problem with.

How about not being a coward for once and answer the question.

Is it your position that belief and faith are not mutually exclusive?

That's the definition of a Theist buddy, not an agnostic...
