I get that, and that's why I place NO credence into ANY tales about the afterlife, reincarnation, or the "great beyond."Likely? Who said anything about things being likely, or unlikely? Imma insist on seeing the math.............
But, by the same token, me having a dream about winning the lottery doesn't make is LESS likely that I will win either. I like this example because the fact is, winning is unlikely-- just as any sort of afterlife is.
The afterlife isn't unlikely, it's non-existent...just like the gods and ghosts it's supposed to be brimming with.
Quote:My 1% agnosticism about the afterlife is simply an acknowledgment that I don't know... in no way does not knowing tip the scales in favor of an afterlife existing or not. But not knowing is not knowing.OFC, but you not knowing is not the same as nobody knowing. I'm sure there are plenty of things you don't know that somebody else does. This..apparently, is one of those things.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
