A genius.
He likened the human body, life, death to basically a machine that will eventually go bad in one or more ways, and enthalpy fall apart. Much like an old car or a computer.
And with nothing in the afterlife.
I agree with him. It should be common sense to any reasonably intelligent human being who has lived a few years and has some life experience. Faith? Whatever that is, take what you have seen in your life, learned, what you know for fact, reality, and draw conclusions from it as to there is such a thing as a mystic all powerful being. A “creator”. An afterlife. “Spirituality”? which goes along the same lines of magic and witchcraft.
Have you ever in your life ever seen anything to make you believe any of that is reality? Personally, I think it’s foolish. I won’t always say it to people especially if they are believers, but that’s what I’m thinking.
Infant even watch TV shows like I’ll give you an example… There is a show on the Travel Channel called “Ghosts of Flight 401″…. I don’t know what I assumed it would be about? A ghost plane, a plane flying around with everyone dead on board for some reason, finding out why they died. It didn’t take me long to realize it was about ghosts. They even described it in the first 20 seconds as “one of the greatest supernatural mysteries of all time…” Then 20 seconds later I heard the words that made me loose all interest in the show and shut er down ” something about the crash, Florida Everglades, but that was just the beginning..
Soon after, GHOSTS began to haunt the land…”
And that was the end of that for me. I don’t have any interest at all. I can’t even pretend to take it seriously, or have a good time with it like you would a horror movie.
I would rather hear about something real. Tell me about a serial killer. Tell me only about the flight, the crash and the circumstances. The ghost parts… That’s foolish.
It’s not about belief or faith. It’s just not something that is physically possible, from everything I have experienced or been taught. I will not write a thesis on it, but it’s just foolish in my opinion.
