Be that as it may, but "empiricism, rationalism and belief" have no impact whatsoever - and most certainly can create nothing remotely akin to an "absolute truth" - about "a life to come" after this lifetime.
These three systems of percetion represent a primary difference between the human race and the pyramidal food chain which are without souls.

If these attributes have no mpact, we are indeed a sorry and hopeless beyond any and all creatures beyond our capacity to ever fathom.

Hence, all of our time is wasted anyway, and thus we might as well waste some of it here! 😀

Your self-pity and hopelessness in the face of death, no matter how intense or sincere, have no impact on the objective reality of food chains, systems of perception, or death.

That's rich! You're the one who started this line of thought by speaking for others in the first place.

You already know everything. All manner of falsehood has been sucked in by the vacuum pump within your eternal soul. .
I am starting to agree with you. My time is clearly wasted on this thread.

FMF, you're missing the entire focal point again. Decision/Action point of impact is during

the empty life lived before eventual physical death. Soul itself, the real you, never dies.

You must have been preoccupied with something else which robbed your

percetiveprowess from noticing the transition of our friendly conversation.

some people can overcome difficulties and adverse circumstances after coming to allah, vishna or willy wonka.

only a true god could overcome the difficulties and adverse circumstances of everyone who came to him. none of the characters above, nor jesus, nor biblegod can do this. ergo, none of them are true gods.

Christ, try sticking to the script.
no, the script was for a general diety. you wanted to discuss the specific case of christs and i put the script in that perspective. christ cannot overcome the difficulties of everyone who come to him. ergo, he is no god.

I'm not missing your point at all. Your point is that if people don't agree with you when you claim the "soul itself, the real you, never dies" then you think their lives are "empty". Pretty unsophisticated really, and not a point one can really "miss" seeing as it is one that is hackneyed beyond belief.

a direct quotation from, Matthew 11:28
here is the fixed version of that verse:

[matthew 11:28 fixed] come unto me all of you who are heavy laden and i will maybe give you rest. i might decide not to, or maybe it's not in my power to do so. in such a case, you could try some other mythical creature, or take up a hobby.

FAIL, your assertions find no basis in the Greek text, like your assertions that a person
will not find refreshment, without substantiation.
