Death is a phenomenon related to the total irreversible failure of some or of all vital organs and systems of the body that are necessary in order to keep it functional and alive.
yes, and in the middle ages it was thought that lack of blood flow equals "irreversible" failure. who knows where the irreversible boundary will be in the future.
the fact ...[text shortened]... e religion that enriches your soul, not the hatemongering shackles some people seem to have.
Also, in the furture the boundary of the irreversibility of death will be perhaps wider than today, but again a dead person would not be resurrected because a wider boundary means simply that the person was not dead in firstplace although it was considered dead.
On the other hand, the point you try to make debunks the cornerstone of the Christian religion, according to which Jesus was de facto dead and later was de facto resurrected. I think you are forced either to accept blindly the miracle of the ressurection per se, or to accept that the ressurection of Jesus was a metaphor and that, therefore, he was not in fact resurrected.
Finally, I am fully convinced I can prove the existence of love without the slightest doubt. And, in our case, it is not exactly like religion because I was never forced to have faith that Maria loves me. We both are just illuminated by each other thanks to our bond -we are the bond and the bond is strong.
I am delighted to see you living your religion so generously!
May You Always Be Happy
