I don't think you have any genuine reason.

Joe, that is not the end of the story. Actually we do not turn into dust. The water vapor from the dead body is absorbed by the soil, it becomes part of the vegetation that grows over the grave. Flesh goes and becomes part of the maggots. Bones disintegrate and form part of the soil. Nothing dies, nothing is wasted, it all regenerates into living and non-living things, to quote Hindus and Buddhists, takes up new forms.

That's not the same as spiritual continuation.

Having your chemistry recycled doesn't mean 'you' go with it.

According to me, Longing for Moksha is equal to longing for God, and God reveals himself only in front of the one who is longing for Him/Moksha. That because this is the only reason which God find as genuine appeal to reveal himself in front of anybody.

Now, if you have any other reason to make appeal, What is that ?
And I'll try to tell you how this isn't a genuine reason for appealing.

I don't have any reason to appeal to God to reveal himself. If God exists and chooses not to do this, then I have no reason to say he's wrong.

However, it *would* imply that God doesn't care if I know about him or not. But that's okay - if he wants to hide, he can go ahead and hide.

But he also don't find any genuine reason to reveal himself in front of you. Just think, if He have to reveal himself without any genuine reason than he would have not hided in the first place. :)

Ah!...so you ARE more than your chemistry!
Thief, you got me wrong. I said I did not ever say it is the same as spiritual continuation. And that having your chemistry recycled means that 'you' go with it. I am not more than my chemistry.

Brace yourself. Here comes an appeal to consequences masked in an off-handed comment expressing pity.

And if God wanted me to know him, then that would be a genuine reason to reveal himself. Therefore, if God exists, he doesn't want me to know him... correct?
