///As has been noted (not sure if in this thread) what is the point of a afterlife? Why not just keep this one going?
Or do reincarnationist (?) have the correct reasoning?
Afterlife is keep coming back as something else until you get it right?

Skunks are humble, polite, even friendly neighbors, if cut slack - they will let their babies lick the salt off your toes, mind their own business moseying around the yard, etc. They don't seem to harbor much in the way of ill will of any kind, and by all accounts make among the best pets or companion animals of wild critters.If you don't feel you are disliked by skunks, feel free to do your own field research
///In 5-12 years, I expect total oblivion.
My brain processes my memories & thoughts. When it is no longer functional, those memories & thoughts will be non-existent.

Any qualifications to that? Does it depend on good health?

Different issue but interesting.
IF there is an afterlife, how long do you want that to be? Or would 200 years here be good enough?

mean they could not run around telling each other about the after life or God...what could they talk about?
Obviously no sinners to look down upon..
What would they do?
You know and I know you will run out of stuff and you can come up with more stuff than them.To be continued
Does heaven have any attractions.
Religion is nothing but lies on top of lies and is based on fantasy and imagination and not about the cruel and harsh world that we live in.
