Quote:Ace why would anyone be afraid of being dead, if you are right then dead is gone and nothing else. However there is a big difference in being dead and dying,this is what I'm talking about the conscious act of dying, this is what people fear.Like falling asleep or painful car accident? I'll admit some ways of going out are quite scary but personally I prefer dying in my sleep.
Quote:Now if I'm right then you should fear being dead because if you are not saved then hell is the next stop. Just to remind you I do not believe in a firey hell. The hell that I think exist is one in which you make your own suffering and you have no control over stopping it.Nice god you have there. A god that makes no sense.
I'm quite comfortable and without any fear of that happening. No concerns at all. Because it is an extremely high improbability. I'm just as likely to end up in Valhalla's Great Hall!
The claim has no value or explanatory power. So really, I really have nothing to fear.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
