It is pretty obvious that atheists find very very hard to understand something so simple.
Most atheists believe that we are here in this world with our knowledge and consciousness thanks to previous generations or better say thanks to the evolution of the species.
That is garbage that unfortunately grip the mind of most atheists.
Life teach us that that is not possible.
Nobody give you something for free.
Even a pedo that give lollies to a kid does that for a reason.
If we got something it is obvious that we earn it in this or in previous lives and everything that we have to endure is a consequence or result of previous actions in this or in previous lives.
This is not only karma but also science.
Doesn't science teach that every action has an equal and opposite reaction?
So who is responsible for the actions other than us.
Us is the I.
The I is our consciousness.
An earthquake or any other calamity is not our own creation.
We are not responsible for it.
If we die because of it our karma does not alter, activated and produce any further bad reaction.
Bad reactions are only due to our previous actions so if we die under the rubble of an earthquake it is because of our previous bad actions.
Wow, that was full of scientiness. I do find simple things hard to understand, you being one of them.

I understood one sentence: "Doesn't science teach that every action has an equal and opposite reaction?" The rest, I can pull the words out and understand them individually but the way you mash them up together, well, it's dribble.
Sounds to me like you have the mind of a child.
I am sure a child would understand what I said.
And guess why?
Because the mind of a child is free from dogmas unlike an atheist which mind is saturated with countless dogmas.![]()
As simple as that.
If you can't count them, how do you know?

One interpretation of that is that he was a ghost and she'd have been freaked when her arms went through him.
Later of course, he beamed back down to earth in a brandnew fleshy body, that's when he said to Thomas "See, I'm as solid as you".
We can therefore speculate that our bodies are "spacesuits" that our souls are in, to enable us to get around on this planet.
Oops sorry was I rambling?..
Maybe YOU can speculate that, but it's insulting to expect others to do so.
And, yes, you always are.
