If there is an afterlife, how the hell could we miss it? If it is an afterlife, and we are all experiencing life now, since we all die, wouldn't we all have an afterlife?
Whether we end up in "heaven", "hell", or standing on the shore of the river Styx with no money to cross into the underworld...
Shhhh... just shhhhh...
Quote:So, it follows from that that no effort should be spared in determining whether or not it does indeed exist. I have not come across a single person who regards the Afterlife as non-existent who has made anything like a serious effort to find out for themselves whether or not it actually exists. Just claiming that others haven't proved its existence to you hardly helps matters, does it?
It's not just an afterlife that can't be proven, it's all claims of the supernatural/metaphysical. You know why shit can't be proven? Because it's not true. Some people, for that reason, just don't give a shit. You wanna tear your hair out chasing elves into a magical forest of wonders- that's your shameful waste of the only life you know you're getting.
Quote:Furthermore, to limit one's ambition for oneself to the level of a farm animal's that just lives for the moment and does not engage in a search for an overarching cosmology is hardly worthy of an intelligent human being, is it? The butcher's knife awaits the ignorant animal - should a human being not try to escape from such a fate - if such is at all possible?
I know farm animals that are very ambitious, thank you. I call them sheep and their ambitions are to be rich like all the fancy sheep and go to sheep heaven when they die. It doesn't matter to them that their shepherd told them money is bad, or that heaven isn't even a reality. They were raised to be sheep.
For you to claim to be a "Free Thinker", you sure do sound like a sheep.
BAAAHHH BAHH, now.
