Oh, I see.
Now we have weak and strong evidence.
You are getting pretty good in inventing new bullshit forms of expressions.
I should consider a Nobel prize for your intuition.
I didn't invent it, dumbfuck.

You can support a building with solid concrete and steel and you can also support the same with a week frame.
Capish? (right?)
So once again we see that you have a double standard, "Two Face" Rik.

Physical hell was invented by religious people long time ago probably in the middle ages.
Quote:Ancient Egypt
With the rise of the cult of Osiris during the Middle Kingdom the "democratization of religion" offered to even his humblest followers the prospect of eternal life, with moral fitness becoming the dominant factor in determining a person's suitability. At death a person faced judgment by a tribunal of forty-two divine judges. If they had led a life in conformance with the precepts of the Goddess Maat, who represented truth and right living, the person was welcomed into the Two Fields. If found guilty the person was thrown to a "devourer" and would be condemned to the lake of fire.

The stories of a literal hell are as old as the stories told about yoga. Was hell invented or discovered? Only your bare assertion says 'invented'. That's proof of nothing.

Paradise, samadhi, nirvana on the other hands have been witnessed by most if not all those who had
an NDE experience.
Hell is witnessed by many NDE experiences. You're just picking and choosing what parts of NDEs to believe based on your religious beliefs. That's dishonest. It's cherry picking.

It is based on the very top of the spinal cord for a reason like a general that is higher than all the rest.
So far science know very very little of the role of this gland.
How could she considering that physical science study physical things while the pineal gland is the door to enter the spiritual world?
So, in other words, you have no evidence here, either. I'm shocked. Shocked, I tell you!

Wrong again yog.
In this very moment that you try to answer my question you do this in order to find peace of mind.
Once you may find the way to prove me wrong (it never happen anyway ) you feel satisfied.
It happen all the time to all of us.
You may find peace of mind after you find solutions to your problems as well.
This peace of mind within the physical world is only temporary of course.
The permanent peace of mind will only come once you will have solved all your problems.
Quote:Blah, blah, blah. More bare assertions and nary a bit of evidence.
Temporary peace of mind is real. Permanent peace of mind is not. You're just flinging shit from your ass here.
