This line of business gives you a lot of time to think about life and death ( i work for a mortuary/crematory).

:rotf:

Quote: Your killing me ...What is the answer your looking for.....What am I so close to saying.... :lol: ok ok. You are basing your version of morality, off of your cultural standard for morality (in the west i.e. judeochristian morality). The short answer is that your moral code appears to be nothing more than "do unto others" with Jesus removed from the equation. So you share an almost identical idea of morality that most religious people do, you just don't use religion to get there...the agnosticism is strong in this one I can feel it!
Still if you agree that their version of right and wrong (simple uncorrupted version that is) is correct, then you are in at least partial admission that THEY are correct, and perhaps there is more to this picture than you have thus far determined. If simple logic and reason were the factors contributing to your morality, there would be a logical reason for every belief you had :wink:

Plus, your customers will wait as long as you want them to and never complain. :-D

Why do you think this... I told you I can feel it! :lol:
That and I can just tell by your statements.

Quote: a mortuary? tee-hee, that's awsome.......
It only seems that way until you're wrist deep in some old lady's chest cavity 8:)

Quote: If I had no faith and had to pick a cultural-morality to follow I'd either go with Viking or Achean.....very epic, lots of feasting, mighty temper tantrums :lol:

Quote: Yodawood knows the definition of Agnosticism. :lol:

Quote: Well for me it is all about life or death...You see death is alot closer around the corner for me than most people on this forum...

I think thats what attracted me to this forum...I guess just making sure I didn't make a mistake in my ways of thinking...But so far I have not seen anything otherwise. Well I'm sorry to hear that on both counts. Death is just a manifestation of the illusion of duality. People fear death because they think there can be nothing better than what they already have. It reminds me of a relationship that has lost it's spark, but the couple clings to each other for comfort, fearing they will never find another person to love... but if you have ever been in that situation, you would know that you will often find someone much better suited for you after all. Just my opinion.

I had to ponder that...

I feel that Death is just another step to something...But that step maybe this life so it maybe the last step...... :wink:

I feel that Death is just another step to something...But that step maybe this life so it maybe the last step...... Last step, still denotes duality. There are, in your mind, two states...one of existence, and one of non-existence. You fear one for a love of the other... but if you could only realize that they are not a beginning and and end, but a constant transformation, there is nothing to fear. :wink: Death is the great equalizer of our species, and the most powerful people have run from it since recorded history began, but we will all die (unless you're Enoch :lol: ). You can feel that death is a step toward something...in your explanation, it's reincarnation... I'm not sure why.

The body is a prison for your soul.

Yes, your soul is kept in your body throughout life. People who have had near death experiences have seen other people in the room with a luminous field about them. Proceeding from it is a luminous cord that extends outward from behind the head/neck area. When death occurs, it seems that this cord is broken. It's mentioned in the book of Job, "when the cord is broken" referring to death.

Pretty impressive actually. On a side note, remember in Pulp fiction how Marcelles Wallace had the band aid on the back of his neck? :wink: Can you figure out what was in the suitcase yet?

Never saw the movie. What's your take on the contents of the suitcase?

What I also find fascinating about this is that the lower base of your skull contains that portion of your brain that controls all the vital functions of your body, which keep it alive. So if you were to cut off that section of your brain, you would always die. As a Christian I believe that God not only creates life, but also sustains it on a level scientists cannot yet detect. Kind of interesting that these two spots on the body are identical.

Quote: Never saw the movie. What's your take on the contents of the suitcase? Wallace's Soul. Him trying to get it back is what sets the story in motion.

So if you were to cut off that section of your brain, you would always die. Even more fascinating is the fact that in some cases the rest of the brain can be gone and the person still thinks normally with only a brain stem and brain fragments (look at case studies of rare but extreme hydrocephalics).

:think: interesting..........I never really given much thought to my existence after death, as a christian I believe that I should try to serve God in the this world with the faith that he's got my back both here and in the here-after.
