Jesus avoids the atheist family and destroys his own church

[Disciple]

Somehow I don't think you'd find that a very convincing argument were you put to the axe yourself. The fact that you are not purposefully hurtling yourself towards the abyss as we speak adds a great deal of suspicion in this regard. You are clearly capable of saying whatever crosses your mind, but I don't see much in the way of demonstrating that this is so...

I would agree with you though, death is a transition, a transition from the state of "alive" to the state of "no longer alive". All else is rationalization in service of whatever shitty thing one might be invoking with such an empty proclamation.

To rythm.. Im not sure to be honest exactlly what your saying. It appears that your asking me if I KNOW there is an afterlife and its better than this life why havent I killed myself yet to get there? I hope im not answering the wrong question here but the reason that has not taken place is that I still have work left to do here. How do I know that? Because im still alive is how i know it. It isnt up to us to decide when we or anybody else makes that transition. And im not afraid of being "dead" in the least. Truth be told I am afraid of the process of dying or actually making that transition or journey to the other side. I have wondered to myself will it just be like going to sleep and when i wake up I will be there or will I be hurled through time and space at ludicris speed? or will there be an angel or will there be sombody that has already gone on come back to pick me up. Not knowing exactly how that will take place scares the crap outta me. When i calm down and really think about it im sure it will be as peaceful as coming into this world. everybody that is important to you is already here at the time of your birth. they already know your coming but you while in your mothers womb are oblivious to this fact. I think that when you cross over to the other side it will be the same. surrounded by the people who are important to you waiting to greet you when you get there. peace.
