Prove me wrong. Any guess about what happens to your consciousness after you die is just that, a guess.
I can very easily accept the possibility that 2000 years or so ago a group of uneducated mud hut dwellers figured out life the universe and everything. Semi literate farmers and fisherman wrote it down in a series of stories written at different times by different people, and then it was translated several times by many other people. And miraculously, at the period of time we have decided to call 2005 it’s exactly correct. It outlines everything that happens after you die in one neat package.
Sure, this very well could be the case. I don’t doubt the possibility for a second.
I however believe we have not figured it all out yet; that there is a lot more to the universe still left to be uncovered.
"Liberals believe government should take people's earnings to give to poor people. Conservatives disagree. They think government should confiscate people's earnings and give them to farmers and insolvent banks. The compelling issue to both conservatives and liberals is not whether it is legitimate for government to confiscate one's property to give to another, the debate is over the disposition of the pillage."
