Let us start with the bad news anyway.
The bad news is that you will keep on floating in this material universe until you will start use logic and start thinking that a creation must have a creator.
The good news instead is that God can not possibly punish anyone even if the karma law is there as a way
to teach and sort out problems.
You just punish yourself by not following logic.
In any case at the end when the lesson will be learn everybody will become part and parcel of the ocean of cosmic bliss.
No hell exist except the mental hell that we create by not using logic.
And your evidence that people die is.....?
Oh, you mean when the body die?
So you work out that the body is the real you, do you?
Yea people die, but that isn't my only evidence. Science proves we die. Just like it proves DNA when humans mate leads to a baby. Science also proves the age of our planet and universe, death is merely one aspect of evolution. Even bacteria and cockroaches die.
Christopher Hitchens, " I don't have a body, I am my body". I am my brain in motion, nothing more. My consciousness was not around 1 million years ago, so what makes you think life will be any different after you die?
The bible is a book of myth and nothing more. Humans back then didn't know our modern reality and made very horrible guesses as to why things happen. The only difference between you and I is that I don't assign good or bad to sky wizards or ground trolls. I still value the one finite life I have now.
Wrong on all points Brian.
1) Science DOES NOT prove that we die.
All it does is to prove that the body die which after all is not a big deal to understand.
2) Hitchens guess.

He wouldn't know anything about life and death.
He wouldn't know whether he existed or not in the past.
3) I leave the Bible alone.
That doesn't mean that is bad.
I just prefer yoga but most of all I think the the practice is millions times more important than the study of books even if the books are helping to some extent.
