Oh, but Shel, let me preach back at him.....I want to shove his fucking bible up his ass.
It is so common with jesus freaks that they cherry pick one line out of a text and twist it to suit whatever meaning they want.
Why did not you continue on with Eccl 3 to verse 21, Luce? Inconvenient?
Let's let everyone else look at it.
Greek stuff....and reasonably late Greek stuff at that.

Quote: 18 I also said to myself, “As for humans, God tests them so that they may see that they are like the animals. 19 Surely the fate of human beings is like that of the animals; the same fate awaits them both: As one dies, so dies the other. All have the same breath[c]; humans have no advantage over animals. Everything is meaningless. 20 All go to the same place; all come from dust, and to dust all return. 21 Who knows if the human spirit rises upward and if the spirit of the animal goes down into the earth?”
22 So I saw that there is nothing better for a person than to enjoy their work, because that is their lot. For who can bring them to see what will happen after them?

Quote:Modern scholarship now attributes the book to the 3rd century BC, at a time when the Jews were under the influence of various Greek philosophic systems, such as Epicureanism and Stoicism. Ecclesiastes is part of the Wisdom literature of the Old Testament, which includes the Books of Job and Proverbs.
