No. But what is a cosmic time scale?
Time it takes for cosmic events: stars forming and using up their
hydrogen and turning to white dwarfs or black holes, planets forming,
continents rearranging. That sort of thing. Many people talk about
having an eternal afterlife, but I can't imagine anything more
horrifying. I look forward to ending, someday.
Lol - well, according to my research - we just don't have much of a
choice. Thank goodness your memory is pretty well wiped so you don't
have to remember living over and over and over. You die - you think
you die. Good for you, eh?
In earth time? I don't care about dying anymore.
It is good to see someone who is taking responsibility for their
final
decision. Once a sentient being is certain of the eventuality of
their own death, this final decision should be seriously
considered.
Circumstances may take the choice of exactly when to die out of
your
hands, but that is no excuse for not doing any planning. Does
this
sound reasonable to you?
Of course!
Amazing. We have found something important we agree on.
Sir - you may have the wrong idea about me. A LOT of these goofballs
(I'm not calling you one) in alt.atheism have the wrong idea about me.
I do not belong to a religion. I saw angels. Then I remembered a bunch
of stuff that happened in the past (OBE's, future dreams, past lives,
etc.), and started to put 2 and 2 together. That's IT. I have 1/2 a
puzzle here with pieces that are missing. The puzzle I'm putting
together doesn't fit with religious people, nor with atheists.
My puzzle builds a picture that God exists - but does not know it's a
god - or even gives a damn. My puzzle is building a picture that
indicates we (earthlings, angels, aliens, whatever) are nothing more
than objects in ITS thoughts... "Constructs" somebody called them.
My puzzle is revealing that the "stuff" that keeps us alive is God's
creative energy. It's **using** us to work out issues in it's own
mind. When it's done, we're discarded - left on our own. We die - we
turn back into mere brain matter until God figures we could serve as
one of his problem solvers again. (Hence - past lives).
That is what I think. So I don't know what you have in mind when
you're talking to me.
Do you have expectations of an afterlife?
It's not an expectation for me. It's just a matter of fact.
Your certainty is foreign to me. After the Sun comes up each morning
and my trusty motorcycle starts, most everything else is up for
grabs. ;-)
You mean you've never had a dream (literally) come true??
I wonder why people can't bring themselves to refer to it as
afterdeath.
Because of evidence of future and past lives, there is no such
thing as
death. Human Death is really just shedding the body - Like lizards
do.
I haven't seen that evidence. So I assume death will be the end of
the cooperative existence of the cluster of cloned cells known as
John
Popelish. But the ride is pretty thrilling while it lasts.
R U in alt.atheist
I am reading your posts in alt.atheism if that is what you mean.
Ok. I'll cut out the other newsgroups.
Oldwetdog will be relieved.
