Does consciousness end with the death of the body

apparently, the carvakas in anceint hinduism were materialists and skeptics, arguing that consciousness ends with the death of the body and that therefore we should take pleasure in this life while we possess it and practice compassion toward others.

they also argued that direct observation is the only certain way to know anything, and thus the existence of supernatural forces and realities cannot be established and must be rejected.

You are correct, I was sloppy in my wording.

I dared to challenge my beliefs, all of them when approaching 40... I did learn critical thinking and followed the evidence to atheism. It was not a long road to travel, but that's just me.

Does anyone live by any Bible stuff?

by punkofnice in

this is not meant to be a slag off the bible thread.. i had a question asked me the other day and it was: 'do you live by anything from the bible?'.

i had to think about that one because i was force grown in the filthy, disgusting cult of the paedophile loving watchtower(r).. you know what?

i really don't know if i just naturally am a great bloke or if any 'nice' bits in the bible influenced me......or has western culture been influenced by the bible for good and bad?.

It's odd, I was far more dishonest when i was a uber dub bible believing "christian" than I am now as an atheist.

I dont drink, gamble (apart from lotto), fornicate, do any drugs, steal or lie. I like my life uncomplicated and my closet skeleton free. No bible, no god required, it is who i am.

as the name says, i'm back for more.

i used to be fairly active on here but have been away for years and am back for more.. first, a bit about me.

i'm a 36 year old man.

it's a cult, they are in it and you are not.

Read about cult mind control and you can begin to understand the grip it has on them and ways to look past their cult personalities and spot the real person still in there sometimes.

Combatting cult mind control by steve hassan is eye opening or else look stuff up on the net about the BITE model of cults.

i'm quite new to this site, & have realised some members have a union jack symbol under their avatar.

i don't.. could we have a "show of hands" from any uk members?

i've already found several by reading older posts..

You just did it stormcrow, by posting you make this thread more visible instead of it dropping off the list of active threads.

Good to know bigmac, I will haul myself down south for meet sometime.

Today's "gay-bashing" and other embarrassing content public talk!

by stuckinarut2 in

oh wow..... the public talk today is certainly embarrassing for witnesses!.

started (completely left field too...seemed to come out of nowhere) with condemning homosexuality, and anyone who even tolerates it.

if you like tv shows or movies with gay characters, you are "just as bad" (eg modern family tv show).

I'm feeling lazy as it's 7:14am here and i'm in bed...... Matt2414 what is the original rendering of the term in the NWT "men who lie with men"?
