[Closed] Will religion ever die out and make the world a better place?

But isn't that the deal that you were offering?
Cougar is just starting it in the here and now and you not taking the bet.

I am taking bet alright but with your afterlife principle. Not what I want to give now in return for whatever you want ... it's afterlife ffs!

I need some new Mavics please so if you buy me some of them 25th anniversary jobs I promise to buy you something of your choosing for five times the value in the next life?

If I can buy you Mavics would you proceed with a simple ceremony that bind your offer? Not involving killing of goats or sacrifices etc ... Five times the value? How do you know it's five times? 🙄

I can afford Mavics if they are not too expensive if that helps but asking for everything is like asking the impossible innit? You have religious belief and you have fool ... I am none of those.

That's a great deal if you believe in an afterlife.

Great deal or not is not really something that should bother you to be frank since a scientific mind does not bother beyond carbon life. Your scientific logic does not make sense ... get a grip will you. 😆

p/s: I have a brand new hope hub laced on mavic rim ...

Have a good un fella, whatever makes you happy.

You are not 100% sinless.

I believe that's what is called "moving the goalposts." What's sin have to do with anything? Presumably you'r not 100% without sin either (whatever that means) so we're going to the same place. So, I'll see you there. When would you like me to collect your bike?

lazybike, not sure I know what you mean by 'other energy' and I have limited knowledge but [url= http://www.askamathematician.com/2012/11/q-if-energy-is-neither-created-nor-destroyed-what-happens-to-the-energy-within-our-bodies-and-brains-when-we-die/ ]this seems a reasonable account[/url] - not saying it will answer your question but if it doesn't - what do you think is missing from the answer I'd be interested to know. ie are we emotionally invested in looking for 'something more'?

😆 No, no I am not moving the goal posts I just prefer to "donate" to those that I feel are sinless (not sure I can determine that but I shall try ...). I rather donate to a person who is selfless in helping others than to a person who is in need but only done less good in life. Bear mind both will have no problem in taking donation.

Ya, I am not without sin either so perhaps that's one reason I am here still earning peanut living. Going to the same place? Nobody knows and if we meet after the expiry of our carbon life the first thing I will say is ... did you frequent STW while alive? 😆

I thought none of us were "without sin", pretty much by definition?
