because I believe our mind, spirit, whatever you want to call it is completely controlled by our brain so once you brain seises to exist so does your "spirit"
That's not what he said...he just asked how they can be sure there is none... I'd like to know that one, too...
We don't know its that simple, We've been taught and bombarded with ideas and teachings, yet no man knows for sure until death is reached, and even then ... What could possibly lay on the other side, What is life, Who is to say we are even real? Or just a figment of our mind's... For all we know we are in the matrix ...haha
I think you just know it...the more time you spend outdoors, preferably in the wilderness, the more familiar you are with the work of the Creator in its most perfect form. I can't rationally prove that there is a Creator, I just feel it, as has mankind from the time we became sentient beings.
Atheists just don't believe that there's any sort of God or creator gods. Anyway I'm agnostic because I don't know what's after this life, although I suspect it's not fluffy clouds and some Jew named Jesus, or 70 virgins, or being reborn, or any of the other primative bullshit that helps people sleep at night. I think it's like pre-birth... nothing. But i can't prove that anymore that someone can prove that I'm going to be damned to Satan by St. Peter so I can't say I'm atheist, technically. I've just yet to find a religion that didn't sound like a fairy tale, except for maybe Buddhism, which doesn't really follow the form that most religions do (no creator gods, no afterlife, if I recall correctly, maybe).
if i didnt enjoy my life so much i would love to die and see if there is a after life... but th ral question do you believe in rencarnation?
This is a very touchy subject. I have grown up in a christian family and am a faithful christian. But, I do not believe all of the fire and brimstone bull-shit alot of churches represent. I always think to myself, what if I grew up into the wrong religion and am just getting closer to hell. Also, the thought of dieing and just vanishing from this earth and having no after-life is so unfathomable for me. The thought makes my stomach rumble and I start feeling sick. Oh and another bit of information for everyone to consider, I recently read that the odds of "evoltution" or "The Big Bang" is an unfathomable number. Like "the Big Bang" happening is as likely as a tornado going through an old air-plane junkyard and asssembling a fully functional Boeing 757. Jah Bless
I find it all brainwashing at best.... No god no gods no 70 virgins nothing but lifeforms balancing out their own equation of life
i look at god, afterlife, deities of any kind, magical elves, ghosts, etc, all in the same way.. and here it is: they have no part in my life, i've never experienced their existence, only the concept of it.. wheter or not they exist, is not my concern as it will not change my life in any way
I love the city, but you'll never find an answer to that question here. Both the existance of God and refuting that there is a God can be argued logically...at the end of the day, its a matter of faith. Either you have it or you don't.
Yes there have. But anyway, I'll repeat: No atheist can prove his point of view correct anymore than a Christian can prove his. It's just faith. HOWEVER, I believe atheists probably have an upper hand in a logical debate because although it can easily be argued that Intelligent Design is true (I dont think it is, but that's just my belief) or that the Big Bang isn't likely, it's much harder to prove that Jesus walked on water, turned bread into wine, became a zombie, etc etc. So all the "strings" attached to the basic religious concepts of "afterlife" and so on are what makes religions so laughable and difficult to prove. So ditto on the comment above mine. It's just faith; science, logic, and truth have never played a part in people's belief of things they don't understand.
How can you argue religion of any sort logically? There is no logic in faith lol faith is by it's very nature belief in something unknown or yet to come.
