I'm not a beast and I don't know how beautiful you are as that is subjective- beauty is in the eye of the beholder-"t'was beauty that killed the beast.'

A mind is a beautiful thing to waste- intellectual dishonesty is wasteful to the possessor of the mind- it's beauty is sullied when it exercises obtuse in its Right for the pursuit of whatever-
Well, your superiority complex tells me you qualify as a hack- royalty isn't my area of expertise- hacks are a dime a dozen, individually they're worthless, intellectually- in the group they exercise an arrogance beyond belief and desire their dogma is correct because they all agree = democratic - LOL- your worse nightmareWell....at least make me the Queen of Problems.
I'm never one of a group.
You feel that I'm not logical- emotion isn't evidence- that you fear someone or something makes you feel like a beast is in your presence- that is opinion, highly subjective, but, logic tell us beasts don't exist- beauty does exist and is in the eye of the beholder-If beauty is subjective.....so is whether you are a beast.
And Abraham breathed his last, dying at a good ripe age, old and contented; and he was gathered to his kin.

But not ALL the facts = intellectual dishonesty- BTW the Founders were Classical Liberals- the conservatives of the time sided with the King of Britain= neocons are today's siding with a King- the root of conservative is conserve. In political speak that is status quo and BOTH sides political elite subscribe to it- making ALL of them intellectually dishonest political hacks, just like you..I simply state facts.
Manifest Destiny?Belief in God and an afterlife makes it far easier to be a good person, a righteous person.
I'd be informative to hear what you believe that form would be.
fake made up stuff upsets me????!!! hahahahahhahahahahah.....in the logical--rational-real world, you either prove what you claim or it's bullshit babble--just like a court case.......hahahahahhha----you and ''rational'' [ hahahah ] Pascal can't prove there is a god----you Don't see how that makes his [ law--hahahahhaha ] totally wrong/unprovable?..actually a rational person does not believe in godAssuming, of course, that you’re not a government school nihilist…y'know, and believe human beings are nothing but accidental constructions of mud and dust.
For those of us who believe otherwise.....
1.We learned about reward and punishment early on, perhaps via this catechism:
He's making a list
He's checking it twice
Gonna find out who's naughty and nice
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
He sees when you are sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you been good or bad
So be good for goodness sake
2. At some point later in life it became a more serious question, whether there is something after we shuffle off this mortal coil, and might give some of us pause. Of course, not those victims of government school indoctrination, which does everything possible to marginalize, ridicule, erase, any links to religious traditions. For those folks, it’s government we must worship, and the best part is that the great god government is there to reward all no matter if they’re good or bad. Kind of removes that burden of responsibility.
3. But…”Christian beliefs about life after death are based on the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Christians believe that Jesus’ death and resurrection are part of God’s divine plan for humankind. Through his death on the cross, Jesus pays the penalty for mankind's sin and mankind's relationship with God is restored. This is called atonement. Christians believe that three days after the crucifixion, God raised Jesus from the dead and he once again appeared to his disciples. This is taken to mean that Jesus’ sacrifice was a victory over sin and death. Although physical death still happens, those who believe in Christ and live good lives will be given eternal life in Heaven.” https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/guides/zn6ncdm/revision/3.
And if you read Dante, you have a darn good picture of the damage you will face, depending on how bad you are. Although there was a bar called ‘The Ninth Circle,” in the Village, that was pretty OK……
I always gravitated to the view of the Argentine poet, Jorge Louis Borges: "I have always imagined that paradise will be a kind of library"
4. The Old Testament appears to be clear, if subtle, on the issue of an afterlife.
In telling Abraham, the first Jewish person, of his future, there is this:
15.15 As for you, You shall go to your fathers
“Often, in describing death, the Torah and the rest of the Hebrew Bible use the phrase “gathered to one’s kin.” Here, the Torah describes Abram’s eventual death as Abram going “to your fathers.” For reasons I will explain at length, the Torah never directly declares there is an afterlife. But throughout the Torah, an afterlife is clearly implied. Sarna notes, “In whatever form, the phrase certainly originates from the belief in an afterlife in which one is reunited with one’s ancestors irrespective of where they are buried.” Dennis Prager, “Genesis”
Make you feel better?
Why would it?
DEad is dead there is nothing after
So you best make the most of each and everyday you wake up ans draw breath
"Pascal's wager is an argument in philosophy presented by the seventeenth-century French philosopher, mathematician and physicist, Blaise Pascal (1623–1662).[1] It posits that humans bet with their lives that God either exists or does not.
Pascal argues that a rational person should live as though God exists and seek to believe in God. If God does not actually exist, such a person will have only a finite loss (some pleasures, luxury, etc.), whereas he stands to receive infinite gains (as represented by eternity in Heaven) and avoid infinite losses (eternity in Hell)."
Pascal's wager - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org
...what gains and losses???!!! = ridiculous because no one can prove there is a god
I'll say it again, that's outrageous
Definition of outrageous
1a: exceeding the limits of what is usualthe outrageous weather we have been afflicted with— New Yorkeroutrageous prices
b: not conventional or matter-of-fact : FANTASTIC
"..actually a rational person does not believe in god"
A foolish and self-serving statement.....at odd of what the eminently rational Pascal said.
What a silly post.
Unless, of course, you have some way to prove that there is no God, nor afterlife.
Do you?
..you people INITIALLY claimed there is a god/etc--YOU have to prove it
..not only can you not prove there is a god, making Pascal nothing but babble, but by using the word ''law'' makes it babble

It appears the subject really upsets you.
Can you re-post without the barnyard vulgarity.

How do you explain two diametrically opposite posts authored by you?
Clearly, either I or the subject deeply upset you to the point of confusion, loss of focus.
Hopefully, both.
I longer being a Christian... I moved on from that belief system 19 years ago at age 27... I have a very different view of the afterlife. I believe it exists, but in a very different form.
I'd be informative to hear what you believe that form would be.
A bizarre mix of some old Norse beliefs, mixed with a dash of Catholic guilt and a heaping helping of self-loathing.I longer being a Christian...

Brilliant refutation......government school would give you another gold star.
I'll put you in the "Is not, isssssss nooooootttttt!!!" column.
