In this topic I’d like to discuss some definitions and where this leads you as a person.
Can you please describe what and where you are in a belief system? Or no belief system? Or lack of belief?
Once you’ve answered that, can you please answer the following: What can you tell me about souls and the existence of an afterlife?
Thank you.
I believe in God and all related constructs such as a soul and an afterlife to the same extent I believe in Santa Claus, the boogie man, the tooth faery or ghosts and for the same reasons. Not just is there absolutely no evidence for their existence, just like the presentation of supposed "evidence" for a God by believers, the pretzel logic required to make any of the aforementioned fantasies "work" makes the whole proposition simply lack all credibility for me.
If you want to label my "belief system" I guess I would call it evidence based. Show me evidence of a God, and I will gladly change my views.
