It?s like we want to be so special. Our brains can?t, or don?t want to fathom that one day it?s CAPUT!
Just like that deer mess on the side of the road. You?re different because your species has higher intelligence?
We want to believe that we won?t have to die. So God! Afterlife! Eternity! And it?s that very intelligence that put that all together.
But gir.

Who?s to say those animals aren?t going some where or come back as something else?
Because even if you want to play blind and not believe in God you have to believe in energy just based off science.
When someone says energy manifests into something else I?m not thinking you?re ?coming back? as a butterfly. You?re probably just going to be dirt, which grows plants, which feeds some animals. And in that case yes you become a part of something else but not in the sense that you actually ?came back as something else.? That ?energy? is called matter and is quite literal to me. And that?s really based on science.

Because a soul leaves a body doesn?t mean it becomes nothing ; it means the body was no longer suitable for it to inhabit, and it moves on.
First one would have to agree that a soul leaves the body, or even inhabits the body at all. So the question becomes what?s a soul/conscience. When someone is unconscious, they are not aware. Not because they aren?t spiritual or religious, but because their brain literally isn?t functioning due to it becoming less active during sleep, or as a result of an injury. Both circumstances involve the brain. A physical, proven form with proven functions. So what is your soul? What is your conscience? The part of you that ?feels?? The part of you that exists outside of your body? How do you describe that? Does it control your emotions and allow you to exercise integrity and goodness? Does your soul grant you memory, perception and reason, enable you to experience guilt, shame, and hatred....or are these all just functions of the brain? I?m the type of person to go with the power of the brain. It really just makes sense to me.

With knowing that ; and how infinite the universe is, as it?s ever expanding, one could logically assume there is an ?afterlife? or different existence that take place after life on Earth and perhaps even before.
I honestly don?t think that assumption is logical at all. It?s a faithful assumption. I feel like ?afterlife? is a pretty word used in religion to paint the ?heaven? picture. I don?t think there?s other lives where souls exist. And that goes back to having trouble distinguishing between conscience and brain function. It kinda pains me to say but I?m willing to accept that than to comfort myself with mess... at this particular point in life.

Which reminds the girls of the Bible statement that we were all with God before we started ; and then dispersed; meaning we are all his ?children?
Knowing that there has to be a single point; an energy source, that started and sparked life, why not call it God ?
You?re confusing with religion and their version of what ?God? is to them ; many fallacies and human like qualities that an infiniate source of Love would not posses. I would always advice the girls to find what ?God? is to them.
Yea I was responding to the religious girs questioning prayers, and their God being fair and just. They weren?t talking about energy or cases where people found what God is to them outside of religion. There?s no confusion there. I am confused that you referenced the Bible to explain energy sources and dispersement from a spiritualist angle. Also, what is ?love? in this ?infinite source of love? phrase? You can?t say human-like qualities given to God are fallacies then say
he?sit?s an infinite source of love. So it must be a metaphor right?
