[Little Rik]

As far as your consciousness is stuck inside your body is obvious that when your body is in trouble also your consciousness will be unable to perform as it should.

However once the consciousness leaves your dead body then she will be free and perform totally different.  
The same happens when you leave your rotting vehicle.

What evidence do you have/line of reasoning do you use to support these claims? We talkin' Descartes here?

1) After millions years that homo sapient exist none has so far produced any evidence that when we die also the consciousness dies.
2) NDEs are clear evidence that when the body dies the consciousness leaves the body and lives on.

After you smash your car after an accident obviously there is a lot of activity in the smashed car.
The wreck will be very very hot.
Energy waves will travel very very fast from top to bottom from side to side.
There is no question about activities.

Argument from metaphor? You're going to have to do way better than that. The above says nothing which would convince a reasonable person that life continues after death. Even assuming that you have accurately described the energy dynamics involved in a car accident that says nothing to prove that the soul acts in accordance with the same principles. Non sequitur.

Exactly the same applies to a body (brain  included).
That doesn’t mean that this wreck of a brain is able to put together an experience so sharp and vivid such as an NDE.
In fact the possibility to be able to do that are next to zero.

Citation please.

Hey guys, whoever and wherever you are, I suggest you give up now. You've been doing the same thing for nearly five years and you are making fuckall progress. This bot of yours will never pass the Turing test.
What was it the man said? "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results."
Kudos for your tenacity mind you; but honestly, I think it's time to pull the plug, you will never get this program of yours to convince anyone.

Can anyone give me an update on Little Rik? Is he one of the few believers in the forums trying to convince people atheism is wrong?

[Little Rik]

Oh well, if the consciousness dies when the body dies then we should change all theories regarding abstract things.
So far we knew that abstract things can not be touched, smelled, seen, heard and most of all killed.
Considering that consciousness is abstract by nature then she suppose to be immune from death but this theory is not longer valid because atheists think that the rule that applies to abstract things does not apply to consciousness.
We always learn something new, dont we?

I'm rather new to the phenomenon that is Little Rik. But his reputation preceded him, and I'm learning fast. Still, I'm puzzled. He seems to argue for life after death, but his signature suggests atheism. *shrugs*
