Subject: RE: So do we live to die and comeback ....?
even better! Demons we can comprehend and study. Now, about nomenclature.. ;>)

Little Hawk...you continue to argue as if tautologies and circular definitions demonstrate some truth!

"The Afterlife is testable within the Afterlife" **IS** a claim in which a premise or two are assumed in order to support the conclusion!

If wishes were horses, beggars might indeed ride!...and so might I!

There 'might' be an afterlife, but you don't show it by stating it, and you certainly deal with the problem of testing it by shrugging and saying "it's not testable here"....HERE is where we are. I don't care what interesting images/'memories'/concepts you have swirling around in your head, there is no reason to assume you got them from some other life, afterlife or 'alternate plane of existance'. Glib assurances that I 'will be surprised' someday don't move me much.

I repeat...HERE is where we are. 'There' is merely a fascinating concept with no substance, like "Nirvana" "heaven" "phlogiston" "ether" and "Platonic realms". They are easy to believe in if you are programmed to like believing.

geeez...why not go whole-hog and immerse yourself in The Urantia movement? They gots a whole BUNCH of realms to explore!
