Not sure why you wouldn't want to live another life if you enjoy being alive. Reincarnation is a real thing. God is real too but only the truly simple-minded are going to have any real faith in Him, which is fine for them.”


You’re too simple-minded to know how simple-minded you are.

Fine by me. A life with God is a sweet life indeed.

Better than the one you’re living now?

Well I have God. I don't appreciate Him when I'm depressed, but He is there.

How do you know god is real?


It would seem a simple-mind is needed to believe a godthing exist and reincarnation is real

Reincarnation lets you live another life as another person, more personal growth, new experiences and relationships, who would not want this.

Depends on what reincarnation we're talking about. In Buddhism, the odds of being reborn human again are very low. You're more likely to be another animal or a being in an entirely different realm of existence.

And there's no continuity, you can't grow if you can't remember what you learned in your previous life. You're literally someone (or something) else. Not tom mention the lack of credible evidence that it really happens.

Is this the same god of the bible ?

Why’s your god torturing you with depression?

Why do you think your god invented depression and made the decision to bless you with it?

Depression is something that just happens to a person, God does not give anyone depression. He will help a depressed person cope with their depression as much as He can.

As much as he can? There’s things your gob is incapable of doing?

Like eliminating every form of depression?


Is there depression in your afterlife?

Not sure why you wouldn't want to live another life if you enjoy being alive. Reincarnation is a real thing. God is real too but only the truly simple-minded are going to have any real faith in Him, which is fine for them.

Your conscious existence will last forever, your consciousness will always exist in some form or another. Your mind cannot fathom non-existence and so it simply won't happen.

Apparently you've been wishful drinking.

Neither atheism nor theism are foolish, perse. Both positions are reasonable.

Also, OP is a sock.
