Good point, I hate the burden of existence, I want it to be over, and that's why I committed suicide yesterday. Oh wait, that's wrong and your argument is hilariously ill thought out.
By taking this stance that everything is chaotic with no real meaning or purpose, and that you are not really alive, just a temporary existing robot, this lifts a great deal of responsibility off your shoulders that you would otherwise have to think about more carefully. If you told yourself that you existed as a person you would have to care about your actions thoughts deeds ect because it would then be apparent that is what you are and what you make of yourself.
And that's why the prison population of atheists is so much lower per capita than that of people who believe in an afterlife? Whoops.
I believe in purpose. I'm a good person and I try to live a good life. What you just said is simply false. You're very ignorant about your fellow humans.
From my perspective it is a really pathetic cop out, and from your perspective it is the beneficial view to get an advantage that seems safest. Thing that won't be beneficial or safe is when you move on from your body, and leave years and years of spiritual neglect behind you, of which you should have been doing your work to become more conscious.
1. Living forever.
2. Dying within a few decades.
Please place a tick next to the above option which is 'safest'.
It is not a logical or scientific view to suggest you will sometime in the future not experience your own self awareness, there is now tones of literature and cases where patients have known impossible details of things in the hospital at the time their body was officially 'dead'.
No, there isn't. I've read a book by somebody who spent a career researching this; he discovered no cases that weren't easily explained. Am I wrong? Then provide evidence.
This is not taking into account the new developments in physics and science that are proving the existence of higher dimensions, and starting to bring together metaphysical concepts that have long being unable to be reconciled with science until now.
You haven't studied physics and you don't know what a dimension is in physics. Am I wrong again? Define it.
