This is your whole argument in a nutshell. I may not have evidence of this resurrection, but there’s plenty of things once thought impossible that we can do now, too. Human life is a valuable asset, and having as many people as possible in the distant future is going to be a necessity, and...
I figure you can't do bad things, and can't make anyone a victim, including yourself. But then again, your abilities to do good should be greatly expanded, so there should be as much free will in Heaven as there is on Earth. And I figure if we all know the truth regarding life's deepest...
It's funny that you should mention this now, because today is the last day of fasting for Baha'is this year. Most Baha'is partake in what's called the "19 Day Fast" that begins on March 1st and ends on March 20th. Ramadan isn't for several months. Maybe if you value all religions equally maybe...
The idea that people will get a reality afterlife they want is not as less plausible as you think. We already do that to some degree by having TVs, cars, and Internet forums where people can talk to each other. I just take that reality to its logical extreme.
I am not talking about tomorrow. I...
So you reject both my idea and @Trailblazer 's idea of the afterlife because there's no evidence for it, in your opinion. Your critical thinking can only go so far when it comes to planning for the future. You don't know the future and neither do I. But the evidence I see laid out before me is...
We already have technology to create unique AI, electric cars, we sent a man to the moon, among other great accomplishments that we shouldn't take for granted. I just think that with the rise of this technology there will eventually be technology to resurrect consciousnesses back from the dead...
Because I ultimately believe that the afterlife is a physical resurrection, done at a much later date, and with that physicality there is granted the freedoms of free will once again. And since many imperfections will be cast out, everybody will have more free will, not less.
That's ultimately where we disagree on the most. I believe you will have more free will in the afterlife than you do in this life, you think there will be less, or really, no free will. If I don't have any free will in the afterlife I really don't want to have an afterlife, honestly. What's the...
If they found out that their beliefs were incorrect this entire time, and were atheists here on Earth, I would think they would change their ways and try to be as close to God as possible in the afterlife. Besides a few Satanists and Luciferians, I don't think anyone really wants to send...
Exactly. I'm not worried about the future of AI. In fact, I've used an AI program called Soundraw to compile instrumentals to record vocals on later. It was fun. The only thing I'm worried about is when the AI gets so good people use it in nefarious ways, to make and claim that famous people...
Earthseed's scripture is posted here and can be read in like fifteen minutes. It includes sixty-six passages from the Parable books called The Book of the Living.
I'd contend that the lack of belief in God doesn't make you an atheist, it just makes you unaware of religion. Atheism is the disbelief in God. Atheists can believe in ghosts, aliens, magic, anything but God. Most atheists tend to reject all supernaturality, but atheism is not synonymous with...
Natural theology and pantheism are pagan ideas for the modern age. Both believe that nature is God, but there's a lot less magic and hocus pocus with straight up monist pantheism than there is in neo-pagan revival religions. Sometimes I feel as if my beliefs border on animism or Shinto, which I...
I purposely did two because if you vote for three it is as useful to me as not voting at all. And I'm honestly surprised at the results, I thought more people would say beliefs but it looks like ethics is the winner of the poll. Congratulations ethics!
You think the spiritual world, being close to your family, your prophets and God is less desirable than the physical world? I'm shocked that you'd even consider an afterlife that is worse than this. Knowing how people are, they'll give you everything you want, and even things you didn't knew you...
Well, I don't believe that there is a "king" of The Omniverse like you think God is. I simply believe that humans were made with such evolutionary perfections that humans themselves are and can be the shapers of the Universe, possibly beyond that too. Everybody has something in them that they...
... when you go grocery shopping. What is it? Last month for me it was pepperoni slices. I got that this month, but I just realized I forgot to buy spreadable butter! Aww shucks! I know I could just walk to the grocery store and pick it up, but it's really cold outside and going out to pick one...
