KYU WROTE:
Kyu, till your post, I had never really thought about that scenario of separation between a stroke victim. I guess it's because I've never had anyone in my family have one, along with, any type heart attacks. Cancer yes, but nothing else.
That's really interesting, but you know as well as I do a Christian will tell you that "IF" before he had his stroke and believed in blah blah blah, he will go to heaven when he dies.
When I lived in a Norway there was a Biology professor that had to be the nicest person a human could typically meet. He was as Atheistic as the next Atheist, but he died at 73 (12 years ago). I remember when i moved back to the U.S. Christians telling me that he was in hell burning etc. etc. Well, needless to say, I became the "ANGRY ATHEIST" that they love to header when every talking about an Atheist.
Bottom line is.....If any Christian ever wonders why an Atheist may seem a bit angry at times...My above paragraph is a good start, and number two, all the above when your arrogance takes presidency over common sense.
P.S. Thank you Kyu for the past story ...... Very interesting concept......Again, I had never thought about that in my years of research and debating.....(Truly do learn something new everyday)
Quote:To give a personal example an uncle of mine (who died about 20 years ago) was the most charming man and an absolutely doting and devoted husband but, at the age of about 60, had a stroke and became the most vicious, nasty individual ... he absolutely tormented his wife. There is no doubt in my mind that the latter him was real and so was the former him but the problem is that if ghosts are real which *him* goes on to this supposed afterlife? How can this be if these *ghosts* are real? To claim that only his good part went to this afterlife is insulting on every level (including intellectually) because if his good part was in him for the remaining decade or so he survived after the stroke (when he was nasty) it would have been screaming itself into a state of insanity trying to get out.
