If you're atheist..

[Eedee]

This goes through my head 24/7. The only solution I have ever come up with is this.

We can't assume what happens after death. We haven't died yet, though, in death we may also not know that we are dead. We also may know. Any slight assumption towards what happens after death is just ignorance to me. "Find out when you die". Because you've died to prove you'll find out. It's all very logical.

Having that said, I have 0 taste for religion.

We know what happens after death: nothing. All brain function and "reality" is merely our brain. At death, our brain shuts down and turns off. Thus, there is nothing after death. Think of the time before you were born. You can't. You weren't in existence. Just like before birth, when you die, you cease to exist. You won't know you're dead, you know why? You'd be fucking dead.

Having said that, I have negative taste for religion (I'm a militant atheist at times).

This is still going on,i think about exactly like George Carlin does,i have no stake in my creation nor death.

what about your soul?! or you don't believe in souls?! your body dies, your spirit remains

There is no evidence for soul or spirit of any form. So your assertion that when your body dies, you spirit remains is unfounded.

[CrashBand]

there is no evidence of it's existence, there is no evidence of it's non-existence either

Therefore black people are controlled by demons!

[Ka0t1c]

all of it's a joke, stfu and die

I know there's a joke here, but I don't get it

No one can disprove
- black people are controlled by demons
- there is an invisible teapot circling the earth
- Dragonite controls the universe
- Spirit lives on forvever

and I was poking fun at you believing 'your body dies your spirit remains' and then justifying it by no one being able to disprove this claim

[Ka0t1c]

so you believe in a place called "Forvever" where spirits live on... hmm, do ya?

You can't disprove it!

What kind of fucking logic is that? You're asking us to prove a negative. That's not the way it works. You assert there's a soul? Burden of proof is on you. Not us.

Why are threads like this even made still? It only makes both sides look like idiots.

How do atheists look like idiots?

I guess arguments grounded in rational thought makes us look like idiots.

I agree, but mainly because it'll only be arguments and each person from each side will think or tell the other people from the other side they are nuts, stupid, etc.

From a third person perspective, it's unexplainable but obvious.

riiiiiight

[Eedee]

riiiiiight

Just like every other atheist, or anyone who I disagree with for that matter.

So anyone who disagrees with you is an idiot? Okay.

[Eedee]

I thought you were still going on about idiots and you were implying atheists and anyone who disagrees with you were idiots.

Gotcha.
