Your need that external validation like a junkie needs heroin
The fear of death is the single biggest hook for religions.
It doesn't really matter to people how the universe got here and saying a god did it is enough for most believers.
It's the afterlife and the promise of eternal life in bliss that really plays on the fear of death that most people have.
IMO death will be exactly like the state of not being born. When you were born you woke up never having been asleep at death you will go to sleep never to wake up.
"There are other" what? You're a deist now? So what? What "just popped into existence"? Metaphysics is "a branch of philosophy" -- Not a god, religion, or lack thereof. Try sanity.there are others - deism, surly the metaphysical forces ...
what's lacking for atheism is the return trip - of course g-nut's like the popcorn theory - just popped into existence, smoking a cigar ...
What do people who speak English mean by "atheism" and "agnosticism"? There ya go. Now argue some more like an alien idiot.Atheism is a lack of belief in the existence of a god or gods. It can also be defined as a rejection of the belief that any deities exist.
-----
The word "atheism" comes from the Greek words a- meaning "without" and theos meaning "god". It was first used in the late 16th century via French.
-----
Atheists do not believe in supernatural beings, including their own souls when they die.

It's possible to be both an atheist and an agnostic. An agnostic is someone who doesn't believe it's possible to know for sure that a god exists. An agnostic atheist doesn't believe but also doesn't think we can ever know whether a god exists.

I didn't have any fear of what happens after death because when you're saved, you know you're going to be with God in heaven when you die. What do I have to fear? Nothing.
Sure, "philosopher".I could easily refute and embarrass you as I always do when I decide to respond to your incoherent trash, but I have better things to do with my time and energy.
A significant part of me (About 65%) believes that we cease to exist after bodily death (To be more exact, biological bodily death). However, there's a part of me ...

Thanks again. Nice presentation of anecdotal "evidence" and boy can you be touchy. Magicians have to work at least to develop their skills. Paranormal pushers? Pffft!Seeing your response, Atheist-materialism is apparently your dogmatic religion that has closed your mind to reality. I had a big problem with accepting the reality of the paranormal or "metaphysical"/"supernatural" (As religionists call it), because I was already well settled in my Marxist-Leninist, atheist-materialism. I had come to terms with my own mortality, accepting the finality of bodily death. I no longer thought about "life after death", nor did I even desire it. My attention was completely focused on this life, and my personal aspirations and values revolved around my sociopolitical activism. I drew comfort and strength from my personal purpose and mission, in friendship with other mortals like myself, who shared my interests.
I hated the prospect of having to deal with the so-called "paranormal", ideologically and otherwise. I didn't want to deal with this "crap", because it was behind me, I grew out of it leaving the church as a teenager, and didn't want it back in my life. Unfortunately, reality is what it is, and it doesn't care how we feel.
The dogmatic religionists are mostly wrong when it comes to their claims about God and reality, but they're correct about the paranormal being real. They may not know the details about the "supernatural" to the extent that they boldly claim, but they're right about the existence of invisible beings who interact with this physical world of ours. If you want to stick your head in the sand like an ostrich and ignore that, clinging to your atheist materialism, that's your prerogative, but realize that you're just as dogmatic and close-minded as the Bible-thumpers. You're no better than them when it comes to being rational and sincere in your pursuit of truth.
LET THE EVIDENCE TAKE YOU, WHEREVER IT GOES.
Whatever floats your dinghy!the metaphysical forces of the universe - is not philosophy, how they created the universe is ... what made g-nut's in not unknown, it drooped from the sky from a passing airliner.
You could confirm it for yourself as I did. Just get a radio sweeper and you'll start getting responses to your questions. You'll probably also have some poltergeist activity. Practically everyone who uses a radio-sweeper in their home gets poltergeist activity.Thanks again. Nice presentation of anecdotal "evidence" and boy can you be touchy.

You're struggling with your religious convictions and you're in danger of learning something. It comes with the problem of having to lie to yourself.Feel free to believe that too.
