I'm not suggesting that these other spiritual ideas need to be supported as having 'evidence' for being true.
All I'm saying is that they can't be disproved. And that, my friend, is not a lie.
It is. Check out the other thread.

The same applies to the bullshit you are peddling.

Well, if you're referring to what pure secular atheists believe to be true, then how could it be anything other than certain doom? That's precisely what a secular atheist is selling.
To simply cease to exist when your body dies is "Certain Doom"
Perhaps you don't realize this, but that is precisely what pure secular atheism amounts to,... CERTAIN DOOM.
Oh, you mean in eventual certain doom rather than certain doom as soon as they accept atheism?
Well, certain doom is the truth irrespective one's beliefs. I don't see how clinging to an old fantasy, changing fantasies or facing the truth is going to change that? How would your middle way be a safety-net?
