A rational explanation for hell?
RE: A rational explanation for hell?
Judging by the amounts of dead bodies, CRod, yes. Look, you're trying to stretch this out way too far.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Of course you're going to die? WTF are you even on about at this point?

Yes i know that but that last moment left, it seems not knowing it and via your description, to me, does not happen.

Clever but do you have any thoughts on the discussion.

Let me get this straight, the Christian has suddenly taken the position that if something cannot be observed, it must not exist? It seems you are just grasping at straws to deny the fact that death is final.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

Hell. No.

No not that one but of death. Could you tell me what you think?
I proposed it as a mystery, the moment of actual death to the one dying, do you agree that with Rhythm? "There is no description because there is no experience." What should be discerned from that?

I agree with Rhythm. I have a question for you, C Rod: Do you believe that all living beings have souls, even down to the fly you squashed for buzzing around your head one too many times?
