Science Denialism or False Hope?
#13
RE: Science Denialism or False Hope?
I believe it is morally wrong to give people false hope that at least some part of themselves (in particular their minds) will survive death. The world would be a lot different (dare I say) a better place if people adopted at most an agnostic position to our fates after we die.

Because science has showed that even our minds emerged out of our material perishable brains, that alone casts a lot of doubt on any kind of afterlife. Not to mention totally debunking the dualism (between a material body and immaterial mind or soul) which Christianity and other religions preach.

However I can understand those who cant get any comfort out of the annihilation of our existence after our deaths. I will admit I cant get much comfort out of that.
