You may have evidence to back those claims, but the truth is that we can't know for certain what will happen when we shuffle off this mortal coil. So, poi, while I admire your conviction, I don't think you can be one hundred percent certain that there is no afterlife. Just like I can't be one hundred percent certain that there is. I realize that you have a great disdain for "faith" and hate to see the word applied to your own worldview, but what else would you call something of which you can never have complete proof? Maybe a "belief," if "faith" grates too much on the ear? [/quote] This is of course true. However, there is no evidence that one can bring forth to support that there is an Afterlife. And if there is an Afterlife, it is a one-way street, because no-one is coming back announcing it. Well, except for a few of us who have died, and came back... Of course, was that really an Afterlife, or just a delusion of a dying brain? Still stumbling over that "100% certainty". What is "hard evidence" in this case? And to be honest, I do not want to try to repeat it in the name of science ;) [quote](Confidential to WS: in "real life" I'm actually a hideous beast of a person. )[/quote] I know that! Get back to the basement and up the voltage on those elektroshocks, maestro! The line of inmates waiting is getting longer...
