RE: Hope on life after death?

I mean, I wouldn't want to live forever, but when I felt I knew enough, had experienced enough, and all that, I'd be fine with pulling the plug on whatever hard drive is keeping my consciousness going.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

There is no better way to convey the least amount of information in the greatest amount of words than to try explaining your religious views.

With the mods permission, I'd like to start a thread about the moral right to pull one's own plug!
Yes, No? Private non searchable area? or just a resounding NO!?
eg: does a convicted felon on death row have a moral right to take his own life? Or is that now owned by the government, both legally and morally?
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.

As far as I understand it when your ass is frozen like that, inside you form many tiny crystals that are like very small swords and actually cut you inside, turning it into porridge.
My stance on this is that humans could live and will one day for many centuries, using genetic therapies that will come trough stem cell research. They will look one day into past and pity us with our short lives. So we would need to boost stem cell research, but to do that we need to get rid first of Christianity, I mean it's no coincidence that
Biopolis is situated far from Christian world.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Just have my cremains put inside a giant mood ring and stick me on the mantle. That will be enough continuation for me when this is over.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
