Exactly my point. The original cloud was was never the water molecules' true nature to begin with; just a temporary state of being. If you haven't figured it out, I'm using the clouds analogously, just as Job 7:9 is doing.

No your not. You are making a weird analogy. Clouds bring water to parched earth. What does your analogy bring to anyone reading it?

The cloud being gone forever is an illusion. The cloud is made up of water molecules in their liquid state. When the temperature increases above the dewpoint, the water molecules are still in the air, but the air is warm enough to evaporate the liquid. Once the air is cooled below the dewpoint, the molecules once again return to the form of liquid, and the cloud returns.

Same with humans. We're just a bunch of molecules too.

Sorry, but once your mind and body goes...that's it. The cake is a lie. There is no returnsies, no waking up from the dead and no spooks. Brain function cease and so do you. Cake = lie.

By that logic it would have been impossible to be born in the first place .

You were dead before you were born . Will be dead after we die . Rinse, lather, repeat.

But it is true. No returnsies as 'me'.

You are not dead before you are born you are either unconceived or unborn. After you die, you are no more. It is over. That's it. It's done

Just because one hasn't seen the cake doesn't make it a lie.

You have no objective evidence to support that "that's it," just as I have no objective evidence to support that I don't die. Belaboring the point is futile.

You're more than welcome to share your personal worldview...so long as it's presented as such. Once you start presenting them as universal truths, you tread dangerously close to proselytizing.

What do you think of Job 7:9
Click to expand...

It is interesting. It says that once you are dead, you are not coming back. That could be construed that there is no Heaven for the dead but there are Biblical references to both a complete end of life and Sheol, the place the dead went. Most ancient religions believed in something similar to Sheol. The Greeks, Romans, Egyptians and many others had places the dead went. I, personally, just consider that archaic.
