@kellyjay saidNothing about your superstitious beliefs represents a "gun", loaded or otherwise, in anyone's hands, least of all mine.
You can be wrong about the someone's favorite color, but life and death mistakes
are just that, life and death mistakes, so it can be wrong to be mistaken by claiming
the knowledge you don't have.
Narcissism much?
@kellyjay saidI still celebrate the lives of my forefathers, especially the ones I knew personally. How does your dehumanizing "cockroach" debating point process that?
I was speaking about nothingness; if everything alive goes there
after death, there is no difference between a human and a cockroach when they
reach nothing.
@fmf said"Mistakenly."
People, like me, are often accused of being cowards for admitting that they don't the origin of the universe and also of being a coward for not coming up with an explanation to compete with religious narratives.
Can people insisting that they "know" things that ~ in fact, they do not know ~ be detrimental or hampering in any way to one's spiritual self and to one's interactions with others on spiritual questions?
By whose metric? Yours?
@fmf saidI would say that to a large extent you seem to be unlike a cat.

@fmf saidI don’t care what you think about anything or anyone here, I was not addressing that. What you seemed to have missed several times now is if all life turns into nothing then there is no difference at that point; moreover, neither would it matter how you lived if nothing is coming once you ended up there!

@kellyjay saidDon't run away, KellyJay.
You have a difficult time staying on topic.
You said this: "I was speaking about nothingness; if everything alive goes there after death, there is no difference between a human and a cockroach when they reach nothing."
I answered thusly: "I still celebrate the lives of my forefathers, especially the ones I knew personally. How does your dehumanizing "cockroach" debating point process that?"
Totally on-topic.
Don't be so disingenuous.
@kellyjay saidYou are running away from your own dehumanizing cockroaches v human beings 'debating point!

@kellyjay saidIf believing you are immortal affords you some consolation in life and helps you to distinguish between cockroaches and human beings, so be it.

@fmf saidYeah, I do believe everything in this life matters because this life is not all that there is. Because of that the importance of everything done and said carries eternal consequences, instead of oblivion.
