No need to get excited.
WHAT WOULD YOU THINK OR SAY IF YOU DIE AND FIND OUT THAT YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS IS STILL ALIVE AND WELL AND GOD IS THERE?
Your body is left behind to rot but your body is not you anymore.
You are there facing God.
1) Would you say.........oh, well there was no evidence that you existed that is why i never believe that you exist.
2) I was wrong in not looking at all options.
3) I never thought that by refusing to consider that you exist i could not expect that you manifest in my consciousness.
If none of these options come closer to your thinking then please express your thought.
I am curious to know what you would say to this HYPOTHETICAL God in this HYPOTHETICAL case.
Thanks.
I would say hey, so what's the deal now I'm dead? Can I be like casper or what? Is it like beatlejuice? Or Bill and Ted's bogus adventure? Maybe i watch too many 80s films.
Of course if the god was saying that he was the Islamic or Christian or Jewish god then I'd probably be thinking "Oh crap" And prepare to have my skin roasted repeatedly by the all forgiving one.
It's sort of like if you imagine I'm stood on a road with my friend Trevor, he says he knows our friend Robert is around the corner because an angel came and told him, in addition to this he also believes the theory of evolution is false, and that sticks can turn into snakes and that virgins can be impregnated.
I would simply say Ok well maybe Robert is around the corner but the rest of the stuff you're talking about is pure jibberish Trevor, you need to get your head sorted out.
Plus I've been round that corner before and Robert wasn't there then.
All the evidence points to Robert not being around the corner.
God not existing. Before I was alive I didn't see god. I can only remember being alive, not being conscious while being dead. And in fact I can only remember being alive since my brain developed enough. When I sleep I dream, when I take drugs my consciousness changes, so I can only imagine say for example a shotgun blast fragments the brain matter inside my skull, I would be unconscious forever, or until the brain matter gets put back together which I can't imagine ever happening.
But if he exists and he isn't as much of a maniac as the usual religions describe it wouldn't effect my outlook much.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
