What does everyone think about the idea of an afterlife?
- Rexy

Strictly speaking for the scientific knowledge we have of the human body right now, I agree with Hawking's statement that, like a computer, there is no soul present to go to any sort of heaven. As it stands, our brain is just a really complex series of zaps going off to give us the feeling (or even illusion) of our senses. Once those zaps stop going off, our person just stops existing.

I will comment on the idea of an afterlife because it is a different topic but I will not answer your questions here Rexy, if you are generally interested PM and I will tell you personally but no one else need know for risk of further argument.

To me that says you're completely uncertain about your own beliefs, already doubting them as it is and don't want other people to push you over the edge into reality. It's like a little kid who thinks that if he just screams loud enough and closes his eyes, eventually he won't have to go to the doctor to get his shot.

Well I can't explain it to you because I don't know how, I just know it exists like you know that tomorrow the Sun will come out, that's not arrogance that's steadfast belief in the Lord.

You keep confusing 'knowing' and 'believing'. You don't know shit and you never will, that's the entire point of religion. You can only guess and hope that what your bible says is true because if it isn't, your entire foundation for living in the first place is blown to pieces.
Also, like I said in the other thread. You're far from an actual christian. A real christian wouldn't doubt the words in his bible. A real christian would not dare to think for his god and will take the rules of his god literal unless he is told otherwise by that god. To interpret the rules your god made for you with a different meaning because you otherwise don't like what they say is insulting to your god and if I were him I'd throw you in hell because of it.
