@ Jimmiej... see mordant's reply. What part do you not understand?

Well, I wish mordant would quit answering my questions addressed to you.

What I don’t understand is how you know heaven and hell are imaginary.

El Dorado " City of Gold". This is why I would never challenge you to a game of Jeopardy. Do you know who Ron Carlson is?

No, I just looked him up, though. Interesting.

My sister contributes to findagrave. I think she's got about 50,000 posts/photos.

My dad is 79 and handed me family albums. I've been trying to identify everyone and link them up and get their pics uploaded. He's the last to know all of these people.

I put her on there because she was cremated and it felt wrong that there was no place to remember her. People 100 years from now can click and see her and wonder about her. I love just following rabbit holes on that site.

There is no proof to the contrary, is there?

Lack of evidence is only a valid conclusion if all possible sources of proof have been explored. Unless you have died and come back, I cannot consider your “evidence”.

More word games. Do you ever get tired of playing your word games on upon the same crowd over and over?

Lack of evidence is no reason to make an assertion as if it was fact. It's not even a hypothesis, all gods, spirits, spooks, ghosts, demons, or ethereal magical places are all figments of imaginations which not only have no evidence, they don't even have any substantive suggestions other than the imagination of individuals.

It doesn't matter that millions have a similar fantasy, that does not make it real.

I agree (bolded above).

ha.... love this answer.
You always have a way with words.



Whenever I hear someone say "eh... eternity...boring..." I just automatically think that person has very, very, very little imagination and they should really spend more time pondering and freeing their mind, allowing it to open up and explore possibilities. Whole worlds will open up when you tap into the imagination. I'm with Mystic. I'm looking forward to, as he put it, "seeing the Awesome Panorama of Infinity..."
