A question for Atheists

by IP_SEC in

if you are an atheist, what are your thoughts on the afterlife?

mortality?

we are what we are until we die, then are no more?

Bas

Narkissos, I really like your reasoning concerning the realm of ideas. Is the concept of "metareality" applicable here?

Anyway, I never really believed in an afterlife and I consider myself a agnos-atheist as well.

I do however, have serious doubts about not living again. I mean, it has gone "wrong" at least once for me (being alive at this moment) so I think it's only reasonable that it will go "wrong" again after I die. Meaning that I expect my consciousness to be born again in a human being some time after my death. I do have trouble understanding how this would work in practice so I usually say it would take another universe for conditions to be right to produce another "you". Anyway, I do believe there are some possibilities in this direction of reasoning but I acknowledge that it's speculative to a degree.

well i found this thread typical for the day:http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/11539/1.ashx

A little hypocritical considering that more people died of AIDS that day then did in the WTC attack. But then again those images were just really overwhelming, so was I, overwhelmed...

To Shun Or Follow The American System?

by Englishman in

jw
friends

a recent poll suggests that over 90% of americans believe in god.

this compares to around 48% of brits who believe in god's existence.. even the devoutly religious tony blair doesn't want britain to follow in the religious footsteps of the usa, as he clearly states here as he risks incurring the displeasure of george w: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/4369481.stm.

so, as a person whose criticism of the us is confined mainly to it's penal system, i was wondering this: do you think that the more religious a country becomes, the harsher it's treatment is of those who err, harsh punishment being seen as a christian virtue?.

Not necessarily, but when compared to europe (less religious, less harsher punishment) this could be the case in America, yeah

Evidence for evolution, Installment 3a: Mitochondrial DNA and Neandertals

okay, everyone, buckle your seatbelts and put on your thinking caps.

in this week's installment in my continuing series, we'll be examining two (count 'em!

) pieces of the evidence and how they relate to each other.. you can check out my previous articles here:.

Bas

that's interesting SNG. So if I understand right u could use this mtDNA to make a rough genealogical table of all of humankind. And are u saying that 200.000 years ago all humans living (which were only a few probably) had the same identical mtDNA? (with variations starting to occur as the population grew over time?)
