If true, then religion is a colossal
waste of time. Living this life
for the next life is throwing this
life away for a fantasy.
That's why you must eat drink and be merry!

It's more just live your life and don't
worry about it. What comes later,
whatever it is, will take care of itself
just like you're taking care of yourself
now.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

Here's a conjecture (perhaps a completely erroneous one)

Quoting from Wikipedia

Quote:
The standard model of cosmology indicates that the total mass–energy of the universe contains 4.9% ordinary matter, 26.8% dark matter...


So, my proposal is, as dark matter is permeating everything it could exist as a separate Universe (if you will). And if you could only see dark matter, it would appear as the "real" Universe and the real Universe would be speculated as dark matter is right now.

But as I said, the correct view isn't that this other Universe exists "out there" somewhere, it is coexisting within the same space.

So, in a sense there could be an entirely invisible universe. Which one might call, "another plane of possible existence".

That's as close to a theological position I can come to. But I might be making some unfortunate error.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

If god existed why wouldn't he add a feature that shows clearly when a human is lying. Has nothing to do with obstructing free will. You still have free will.

What for? Humans are always lying.

So, what you mean is they are never lying.

Are you lying now?

I'll rephrase: Humans lie a lot as a matter of common discourse. Sorry you don't know what "always" means in common discourse. It's called hyperbole. Look it up it might help you avoid misunderstandings if you ever talk to real adults some day.

So, you're not a real adult? Fancy that.

Again, hyperbole. I thougt you might have figured it out on your own so I didn't make a notation. I was wrong.
