I am hoping for "nothingness"

I find existence to be an overrated burden to be honest.

Haven't you had some moments of enjoyment in life in which you could pursue things that made you happy?

Not because a man hopes for eternal life in the Kingdom of God, means that in the end he will in fact get there. Same with you and nothingness. God might decide to deprive you of that ... 😀

Before you rush to pigeonhole all nonbelievers as welcomers of nothingness, think again.

I fully intend on living forever, downloaded if necessary onto a hard drive. (Possibly on Mars).

I think you mean -
before I rush to pigeonhole all nonbelievers, let you rush to pigeonhole me.

I understand that it gets very dusty on Mars. Will you arrange for someone or something to have that hard drive disk cleaned every so often ?

Not at all. You invariably pounce on any opportunity to generalize about non-believers in a way that aggrandizes your own belief structure.

As with the origin of our species, I will rely on serendipity.

I asked the poster a question. Perhaps you, starving for all the attention here, are annoyed someone else is being encouraged to speak.

So judgmental. Tsk, tsk.

say you go to heaven and meet the killer of your child?

Sorry for my earlier, snarky post (now removed -- that way Divegeester knows it's really me).

That's a good question. Interesting that it postulates the killer would be in heaven. I suppose there could be wrestling, or at least some heated words, possibly followed by some kind of reconciliation considering this would be taking place in heaven.

If I download my personality to a computer hard drive disk, is there a binary representation of my memory of my mother?

Would my memory of my mother look like this?

10010110
00101100
10011010
01010110
etc.

Would my personality, memories, likes, dislikes, self reflections, creativity, will, daydreams, prayers all be represented in binary?

You’re in my good books at the moment.
