Stone's thread admits that 'affordability' is a Trump caused problem.

Or we will not. Are you afraid of the time before you were born? You didn't exist then, it will be the same when you die... we will not "know" or see, that is what death is.

Jewish Arabs and Christians called God "Allah" centuries before Islam.Allah is the arabic word for God, even Mizrahi Jews use the word Allah
We ARE the currently dominant species on a nondescript mote of dust circling a nondescript star in a nondescript galaxy of 300 billion plus other stars in a visible universe of over 2 Trillion galaxies.
We may be MUCH less consequential than a single molecule of seawater in all the oceans and seas on our planet.
We have got to get over ourselves.
We buy free range eggs from a Mafia guy turned farmer (I think he is) for 2 dollars a dozen.
He’s definitely not making any money with his chickens.
Only because Turkeys are dirt cheap,everything else is the same!
I bought a small one yesterday at Wal-Mart ,$6.44! I can't buy a chicken that cheap!

“Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the western spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun. Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-two million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue green planet whose ape-descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea.”
Why would you think I am afraid. My faith is strong.
You have no clue as to what happens after death. The physical world is not a part of life before or after death.
Wow for once we agree! I have been here many times before, 4 in relatively quickly. After this one I am taking a vacation!

Reincarnation is where it's at! I seldom see it mentioned in religious discussions here. Had to give a shout out.
I believe I have as much clue as you do. In fact I know that I have exactly the same clue. Only mine doesn't require a faith in a specific deity to reach a magical afterlife that I will somehow approve of for an eternity. One of my issues when I was 10 was my fear of an eternal life... I believed that at some point I would know everything, have read everything and would never, and I mean never, want to sing praises to the Almighty for an eternity. Hayul no. If we have eternal life, your "paradise" sounded like torture to me.

I knew nothing before I was born, including no suffering.
I believe that will be the same when I die.
I will not exist forever, and that is OK with me.

I didn’t say I had proof of what happens before and after life ends.
I said I have faith and I believe we will know.
It’s not my paradise, I didn’t say that.
Most children when exposed to religion do not hate those who believe, as you appear to do.
“Magical afterlife,” that’s sacrilegious. Why do you hate those who try to practice the teachings of charity and redemption?
See how that works.
I don't hate you, I believe you assume that I do because I tell you what my questions were that made me not just "lose" faith, but to obtain a different one. I do not hate anyone. I was angry as teen and as a young man because of all the crap forced upon me and the very deliberate and debilitating isolation from my peers. I did get over that though. My relationship with my mother is better than before, but I still do not believe in her religion. My time in the military was a bit tough because I was "weird" like a home school child...
Too funny.
I feel your pain.
Not being humorous, isolation from your peers as a child is terrible. Fanatics who are religious or non-religious are dangerous and an abomination.
All of this is speculation, of course.
We don't have awareness prior to birth. It is a major leap to conclude that means we didn't exist. Most people don't have memories prior to two years of age - yet we most assuredly exist in those first two years.
The simple fact is we have no knowledge of what happens before or after our time on this earth. Not one of us knows. Religions that claim they do have no basis for their claims. Atheists who claim they know are no different than the religions.
One can believe what they like, but no one actually knows.
Fair enough, this does not change what I said. I think languages in the region had some divergence until there was more than one. I think Allah and Yahweh were one in the same, just after some linguistic divergence. Like the differences in Spanish and Italian... different languages...
You still are a bit weird.
We all are but my years as a Psychologist (not) have given me an understanding of weird people.
Weird is not necessarily a bad thing. If you eat other people, that’s being weird in a destructive way.
I’m not accusing you of cannibalism, just weirdness.
