Reincarnation could be real

[dkamm65]

how do you know a computer doesn't still functions when its turned off? how do you know you even HAVE a brain? have YOU ever cut open your head to check?

>topic about something nobody REALLY knows anything about
>a bunch of atheists swarm it
> NO NEVER CANT ABSOLUTELY NOT NEVER YOU'RE GAY FOR THINKING DIFFERENTLY THAN ME AAAA

moral of the story: most atheists are arrogant and think they know better than everyone else

Id like to believe it, but since it is impossible to prove, I cannot.

Throwing this out there just incase.
The article itself is about religion but lets pretend it's dumbed down to reincarnation for arguments sake.

Believing in something without the possibility of proving it is called faith.

Waste a good part of your life in nonsense for the fear of unlikely eternal agony, or doing something useful.

The human mind is a funny thing. It contains an incredible level of complexity. Who are we to say what happens to it? Furthermore, why does it matter? It's not like they can come back and tell us.

Also, if I understand the Bible correctly (which is incredibly unlikely as I've never read it), the end of the world involves everyone coming back to life and either bodily ascending or going to Hell. By that logic, everyone would be crushed to death before anyone could do either.


Now, let me finish with a computer brown townogy. Let's say you build a supercomputer unlike any other. It's so advanced it can command a simulation of an entire other universe. In realtime.

Then there's a power failure. The computer and its programs all crash. All the data is lost. We'll never be able to run that simulation again.

Who are we to say that computer wasn't just a bridge? We can't prove they've stopped existing, and why should they? What right does our universe have over theirs that says theirs should be destroyed. And even if we do have some divine parental right to end it...     what do they experience when it ends?


In other words, I don't think there's a simple, easy, or likable answer to the problem of what happens when we die.

You're true with your last post, though.

Because the electrical impulses required for them to think and function don't exist anymore. Our brain essentially uses calculation, in conjunction with chemicals, to operate. One example is, our eyes receive light which is converted to electrical impulses and sent to our brain for it to decipher as sight and to brown townyze. This works in much the same way a digital camera receives light from the lens that is sent to the main computer to process into an image. If you destroy the camera, it's not taking pictures in heaven. It doesn't exist anymore.

Our consciousness exists only as long as our consciousness is being "calculated" by our brains.

I'm not understanding how this can be applied to anything other than belief in god
Plus Pascal's wager is the biggest bullstuff argument ever

Your logic is more ass backwards than, well, an ass backwards.

I didn't say that cause he disagrees, I said that cause he has obvious disdain for atheists.

So that either makes someone religious or religious


makes sense to me.

How stupid are you?

Stupid enough to get phished on Steam?

[RedGajin]

you can be as old as you want physically, but based off of that last post, you seem about five years old mentally

besides, unless you've seen it for yourself how can you be sure that you even have a brain inside your head? obviously just as sure as you can be as there being an afterlife!!

?

I can't say I've ever been phished before. Nor do I lack the intelligence required to avoid it. So you're just going to pull the word stupid out of your ass like that without explaining why? That post wasn't sarcastic, if he disagrees with the lack of belief then he can't be anything other than religious or partial to the possibility of.
