Then on the otherhand, we have Jay Dawg in Hell being raped by bull mastifs. Your only argument would be that Dreams are not real, not even Subjectively, which ought to make you very popular in a Dream Page.
How is that my only argument.....You are saying that this "continuum between Hell and Heaven" in our dreams is definitely existent so if I do not believe in heaven and hell, then I do not believe in dreams? That is not my argument. My argument is that Heaven and Hell do not exist and that dreams are just our physical brain creating situations during sleep. Also, that is not evidence of the existence of god, heaven, hell, etc. That is you saying that dreams show us this continuum with nothing to back it up. How am I supposed to believe that?
The only thing I truly believe in (atleast at the moment) is science, mathematics, and the prospect of immortality. By this I mean, I believe it is possible to live eternally. Whether it be through certain chemicals, machinery, or DNA manipulation. I also believe this is not too far off. In my opinion, our whole conciousness is comprised of neuron connections, electric signals, and chemical balances within our brains. Therefore, it would not matter whether it was organically or synthetically produced. So theoretically, if a computer system advanced enough could be made, our whole conciousness could be "transferred" to this system and remain intact forever. This probably sounds horrific to you, but I would much rather remain thinking and enjoying life than to face oblivion.
Finally, let me provide a couple of extremely logical things that religion goes against:
1)The Big Bang Theory: At this very moment, our galaxy is in motion; as well as all other galaxies. For some apparently odd reason they are all moving away from eachother. Now let's use our brains here. If they are all moving away from eachother, then they started together and spread out. Therefore, one would have to reach the conclusion that all matter started in the same spot and moved out. Also to be considered, is the speed at which the galaxies are moving. The Milky Way Galaxy is moving at a speed between 2,160,000 km/h and 3,600,000 km/h right now. This therefore means that the pressure which send them on their way at the beginning of the universe was huge, meaning that concentration and therefore pressure would have almost been a neccesity. And because all concentrated matter in empty space takes on spherical form, one would have to assume it all started with a small, tightly packed ball.
2)Evolution: Evolution is a very logical process and I do not understand how any one could not believe in it. In order to explain this, I have to get some things straight. One: We all agree upon the fact that traits are passed from one generation to the next right? I mean, we look like our parents, do we not? Therefore, we would have to conclude that this trait-passing happens with all creatures on the planet Earth. Now lets give an example. Say that there are two birds (of the same species) and a flower (which is their main food source). And lets say the flower is very deep and it takes a long beak to reach the nutrition-giving nectar. If one bird has a small beak and the other has a much larger one, it will be harder for the small beaked bird to get its food. Also, the long beaked bird will easily get its food and deprive food from the smaller. In short, long bird produces long offspring, short produces short. Eventually, short die out because of food deprivation. Evolution. If you think this was too specific an example, try looking at any creature. You can find evidence of evolution everywhere.
I suppose this post is huge by now so I'll save the rest of my thoughts for a later rant.
