I stand trying to understand the actual moment of death to me. As either a mystery or we know what the exact moment is. Thats it we do or we dont, which is it?
Your brain ceases to function causing what you perceive as the 'self' to no long exist. We do know, only it seems that is some sort of misplaced attempt to cope with death, you have assigned an element of mystery to it that is not necessary. It is to ignore logic and reason to ignore our understanding death.
I was just trying to understand what the moment, to the person, dying was. I added an element of mystery to it because i felt that moment couldn't be experienced and testified to because it was death.

I have a question for you, C Rod: Do you believe that all living beings have souls, even down to the fly you squashed for buzzing around your head one too many times?
What do you mean by souls?
Right now, we're investigating what you think. Do you think that your dog has a soul and can go to heaven? How about your pet fish? The ant on the sidewalk?
Yes investigate freely.
I do not feel that animals have souls.

To be clear, no CRod, I don't agree with you. There is no mystery. You are feigning ignorance. If you have opinions, beliefs, theories, just be upfront about it. You don't wonder, you already "know". Constantly restating questions over and over like they haven't been addressed countless times is tedious.
I was just trying to understand. I was confident in my claim, so i brought it back out when it was shot down because i was still unsure about the reply.
