Re: Life After Death
Hi, Dyluck! Welcome!
You ask, "What part of God's law don't you like?"
The parts about no bacon, catfish, or shrimp come to mind.

Let's go back to the OP for a moment, now that Dyluck is here to give us her/his spin on an answer.
When I die, here within the next thirty years or so, the voltages across all the synapses in by body and brain will go to zero. All of the "me" that anyone can account for is either in my largely protein and lipid body or a product of the non-zero voltages I now have across various synapses.
Dyluck: when the electrons cease to flow across my nerve ends, where do you think they'll go? Will they go fry in Hell? Or will they be no longer needed, and something less material than them goes to fry in Hell? When my proteins rot away and I have no nervous system or voltages at all, how am I going to be able to suffer eternally in this Hell place? What does the suffering? Electrons? Gluons? Higgs bosons?
Or if it's my body and mind, how do they get reconstituted? Is your answer "We'll know that when we get there?"

Re: Life After Death
a leagilistic moral superceede that goes against the very basic preserve of life. (sic)
What? Without the Aztecs (and Mayans?) cutting hearts out of folks, all mankind and the whole earth would have ended! They were preserving life with every slice!

Re: Life After Death
Or are you sarcasticly eluding to doing it because if they didn't their "god" would have ended the world?
Not sarcastically. That's apparently what they fervently believed. Are you going to judge them? Oh, it appears that you already have.......and they were just trying to keep the world around so you could exist someday.
And the Aztecs had lots of gods, nearly all of them much spiffier-looking than the Hebrew model.

Re: Life After Death
The reson why there is a new covenant (new testament) is because God knew nobody could be sinless, everyone breaks the law, even the ones who try not to.
So this God fellow let people all trundle along straight to damnation from the time of Adam to the time of Jesus, knowing full well that he was going to fry all their sorry butts because he had made them incapable of following his rules.
Is it still failing to dawn on you why there are some of us that don't buy into your mythology?
