Quote:Taoism just scares me into thinking you have to live and die twice to sufficiently justify a permanent life doing whatever you want.Not three times, or four?
Quote:I guess I can say that a proper definition of infinity gives my theory extra strength. Space is so big, you win your little infinite dream, here and here. Haha.I'm not sure how the notion of infinity, or the realization that space is big (like..really..really..really... ) lends any strength whatsoever to the idea that there is an afterlife..or, if there were, that people go there. Maybe it's reserved for chinchillas? I mean, space is big, infinity infinity something or other, therefore chinchilla heaven, but no people heaven.
Have a great day.
