Yes. Materialist atheism is belief system like any other. Many preach it with the same degree of dogmatism as the 'religious' people they often decry.
My post promotes no particular religion. It makes no definite claims about what specifically happens after death. It states only that I think there is good reason to hold to a tentative belief in the survival of consciousness after death. That you take such exception to my statement about materialist dogmatism says far more about you than me.
You could (in a spirit of open-mindedness and intellectual curiosity) explore the phenomena I have mentioned. You could open yourself to the possibility that reality may not be what you think it is. You may come to a different conclusion than I have but to simply accuse me of wishful thinking is hardly fair. You know nothing about me or my philosophical/spiritual journey.
There are people in this very thread claiming such certainty.
And if what I suspect is the case is indeed the case, you and many others will be shocked the day you learn that those billions were right.
There may be "materialists atheist preachers"
such as you suggest.
Notice btw your cute little tu quoque?
And your absurd fallacy of gross overgeneralizing
is only highlighted by your mentioning such.
And that your own thinking is so dogmatic that this
theoretical aberration is all there is.
There is nothing "dogmatic" in having a functioning
woowoo deterctor. The religious tend to have faulty ones.
Though I'd guess that educated Christians who are not
invested in self deception will also be very skeptical
of the outlandish claims of the outta- body claimants.
Your finding "good reason" is exactly wishful thinking.
And of course the woo woo fans accuse those who dont buy into their chosen ( flying saucers, astrology, whatever)
of not being open minded.
What a jumble.
Oh, almost forget. What if your so called research actually
proved there is this soul ?
What does that do to faith?
But the last but, the "wait and see Ii was right
all along. " so lame.
