Life After People (History Channel)

Well, again Paul disagrees with you as well, and lays the foundation of the eat, drink, and be merry now for tomorrow you die philosophy.

But I was using the point to address Matty's question, that one comes to believe in an afterlife through Faith in a higher power, and not because of any proven verifiable testable process.

This confused me. Eat drink and be merry was because his doom was EXTREMELY imminant. Not millions of years later. I had to have missed something somewhere cause I am left scratching my head at this comment.

You made the comment:

I would argue that if Christ's resurrection was indeed a hoax, we are not pitiful, but lived a good life and we are all worm food anyway so it won't matter.

I guess you were using it to say not to be scared, but my response was directed at you saying a person living for Christ would not be pitiful. Clearly, if you are living and directing your life based on a fallacy then others would call that pitiful.

OK, I get your point. Sorry I missed it before.
I still don't see it as "pitiful", but someone must live their life for something right? I think those that live it with no direction or purpose...well that's pitiful. But to each his own right?

I would agree with you on that. and of course, I do believe Christ rose, so the argument becomes moot.

Fear of things invisible is the natural seed of that which everyone in himself calleth religion.-Thomas Hobbes

Anyhow, I believe in God, I'm religous but still, while I know it's inevitable, the idea of not being here anymore scares me, worries me, perplexes me...maybe I don't believe enough?

Kudos to you that have overcome that, I'm just not among you.
