Get it?
Which would only be the lack of a belief in deities. So, to you, there lack of faith in any deity is their dogma that burdens them.
Quote:That is total garbage Atheo.
Even a tiny ant can cause an avalanche that may kill a lot of people if she step (so to speak) in the wrong place.
Nothing is insignificant.
We are all connected to each other and the universe exist because of this.
Universal love is what is binding all together.
All the rest are dogmas and speculations.
Relative to the universe, yes, there is insignificance. Not garbage, its science.
Quote:Hallucinations are not NDEs Atheo.
NDEs are natural phenomena while induced experiences are not.
They are actually. NDE's occur by the hallucinatory abilities of the brain.
Quote:Wrong again Atheo.
If you read the many NDEs experiences in here.......... http://www.nderf.org/Archives/exceptional.html ............you will see that these people really die as declared by a doctor so your idea that to have an NDE you must have your brain alive is garbage.
But certainly they resurfaced from their death experience, otherwise, they wouldn't be alive to talk about it.
Quote:Not at all At.
The connection is already there from birth to death.
It is when the bloke die that the consciousness get disconnected from the dead body.
The same thing happen when your old car give up and will not go anymore.
At that stage you get out and look for a new car to continue your journey that go from point A to point Z.
And when you get to point Z you don't need any more vehicles (bodies).
Why would you when you already reach your final destination?
You are an abstract entity but as far as you are connected to a physical body in a physical environment you think that you are not an abstract entity.
This is a dogma that atheists in particular are stuck to.
I wouldn't call it dogma to deny this view. The reason why I refer to this view as religious dogma is that there is no sufficient reason to accept it other than religious belief. At least we got science and increasingly understand more about the brain. If you think A priori that we will never reach understanding of it in scientific terms, then I can safely say you are not consistent with the "logic" you talk about.

Why the Pineal Gland?
Hail Satan!
