Oh Rico. What am I to make of you? Your 'teacher' gave you a beautiful garment which only the enlightened can see. Now you wear it proudly, indifferent to the rabble which calls out that you are naked. Rico, you got nothing.
Atheism does not hold that life is finite. What lies on the other side of death is a mystery. My hunch is that what comes next does not include me. Atheism gives me no certainty on this matter nor on any other 'big question'. I have my hunches and other atheists will have theirs but there is no orthodoxy here. Why do you think otherwise?
We've gone over this ground before. Your Intuitional Science is no more science than Christian Science. The word "science" is misapplied in both cases. The only difference is that when a Christian Scientist is asked to justify his assertions he will answer "because the bible .." whereas you answer "because my teacher ..". Science is not about authoratative knowledge sources.

Atheism is but the lack of something which is no thing in itself. It is what you believe which requires foundations of dogma. It is you who are full of hot air.
You are contradicting yourself.
You say or you back those who say that life is finite (stating a so called truth) and then you say that atheism is ..............but lack of something which is no thing in itself.
I just wonder if you know what the hell are you talking about.
If you say that Atheism has no foundations then what is a truth of yours if not a foundation?

There is a science that bring to the surface the hidden conscious and that science is called INTUITIONAL SCIENCE.
