At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

And how dare you allege that nothing was done about your report. How fucking dare you.

I swear to Dog this thread is making me dumber.
A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.

That's why I tend to avoid them.
I see this sort of thing as zombies trying to create more zombies by sucking our brains out slowly with a straw....

Has already been established that there is NO evidence that we got the consciousness that we got thanks to previous generation.
Has already been established that there is No evidence that God does not exist so everything is possible.
In the physical arena the small is attracted to the big so is quite possible that our small consciousness is attracted by a bigger and infinite consciousness.
All it is possible.
The problem however is how to find out where is the truth and how the system works.
Science is all about finding out the truth.
Nobody invent anything.
People only discover something.
What we discover today is most probably already been discovered in far away more evolved planets in far away solar systems and what we will discover tomorrow is something likely already been discovered in other places so the knowledge is everywhere and the best way to discover more knowledge is to keep our awareness open to all possibilities.
Few atheists are open to possibilities while most of them are not.
Physically speaking our body works very well if our arteries are not clogged up with impurities so the blood flow freely.
Mentally speaking is the same.
Dogmas or false truth prevent the free flow of what is true.
Our awareness must be open to all possibilities.
This is the only way to reach the truth but considering that atheism in general is build on dogmas like
believing that with the physical death is all over and other believes based on no evidence than is clear that the flow of truth will never reach their inner self.
As the heart bring life to all the body also the cosmic awareness bring the truth to the inner self.
There is no need to try to invent anything.
All is already there.
All is needed is to allow the flow to run freely that is why a belief like atheism that prevent this flow of truth is unscientific.  Get out.

Wikipedia Wrote:The Four Noble Truths ... are "the truths of the Noble Ones," which express the basic orientation of Buddhism: this worldly existence is fundamentally unsatisfactory, but there is a path to liberation from repeated worldly existence. The truths are as follows:
- The Truth of Dukkha is that all conditional phenomena and experiences are not ultimately satisfying;
- The Truth of the Origin of Dukkha is that craving for and clinging to what is pleasurable and aversion to what is not pleasurable result in becoming, rebirth, dissatisfaction, and redeath;
- The Truth of the Cessation of Dukkha is that putting an end to this craving and clinging also means that rebirth, dissatisfaction, and redeath can no longer arise;
- The Truth of the Path Of Liberation from Dukkha is that by following the Noble Eightfold Path—namely, behaving decently, cultivating discipline, and practicing mindfulness and meditation—an end can be put to craving, to clinging, to becoming, to rebirth, to dissatisfaction, and to redeath.
Wikipedia | The Four Noble Truths
So, as they say, opinions differ as to the truth of the human condition. Was Buddha wrong?

Under heaven all can see beauty as beauty only because there is ugliness.
All can know good as good only because there is evil.
Therefore having and not having arise together.
Difficult and easy complement each other.
Long and short contrast each other:
High and low rest upon each other;
Voice and sound harmonize each other;
Front and back follow one another.
Therefore the sage goes about doing nothing, teaching no-talking.
The ten thousand things rise and fall without cease,
Creating, yet not.
Working, yet not taking credit.
Work is done, then forgotten.
Therefore it lasts forever.
~ Tao Te Ching, Ch. 2, Lao Tzu
And yet another voice.
