When? When I die? I have news for you, when you die your brain shuts down and that's the end. You will no longer exist.

What will not be enough? A threat intended to scare me into accepting your "god"? I have more integrity than that. This is all a big mind game wherein the players have convinced themselves of a false reality. It's like Dungeons & Dragons with offering plates.

Yes, let's approach a person who has lost their faith, struggling with the meaning of it all, and hit him straight in the gut with the "Hell punch". That'll straighten him out!!

I found my "faith", I didn't loose it. I finally embraced REALITY. Now I breathe in the fresh air and count every blessing knowing that one day I will be too old and feeble to experience the world around me. Eventually I'll die and be non-existant. So every day I live is a celebration of life, fun, enjoyment, charity, work and pleasure.

I'm not afraid of Hell, it's a fairy tale.

I was thinking he (Epley) was 2nd choice. First was BobDylon. The writing is remarkably similar and fits his (BD's) sort of sarcasm.

I'm not talking about other living things. I'm talking about "Men (and women)".

You can dodge this bullet all you want too, but the fact is, a man alone will cease to exist.

Will you answer the question, yes or no? It is a yes or no question.

I would also like to hear your explanation of how a man will produce more men, without having a woman.

But I understand your position and would hope you don't respond to the pressure religion can present...positively or negatively. They mean well, but seem to be occasionally misguided by fear and pressure.

Be well, SlowFade.
