I just find your posts hilarious.

You have to admit you are asking for it, it had to happen sooner or later.

If you don't believe me go to a professional philosophy forum and post your ideas. One hint though don't use the name deep thinker.

Hmm, professional philosophy. That sounds interesting. Do you have any suggestions or should I just google it?

I'm not sure what to expect. Professional philosophy sounds like a euphemism for sophistry to me.

In my personal view, humans are conscious physical entities. Humans are conscious in that they are aware of their surroundings, their thoughts, their feelings, etc, but I don't believe that consciousness survives death because its existence has to do with the activities of one's biological form. I view consciousness as more of an activity of something physical rather than something physical itself -- being conscious is what someone does, rather than what someone is or "consists of" -- so it could perhaps be viewed as non-physical from a certain vantagepoint, but it is so closely related to something physical that there is simply no separating the two. In other words, in my view, in order for some entity to be conscious, it needs to have some sort of "body" to function that has the faculties necessary to allow it to be conscious.

I'm not sure if that answers your question.

eudaimonia,

the most fact in this world is the death , all the humans will die , there is no exception
what the atheists thoughts about death ? do you fear from death ? what you feel when you see any of your close friends or relatives died ? what is your hope about the eternal life ?? What if God exists !!

I dont' want to die, but I can't say I live my life in fear of death.

I feel sadness when one of my close friends or relatives die. There is no eternal life and God does not exist.

No more than "professional theology" is a euphemism for something unsavory. There are people who study to become theologians, are payed to be theologians, and who are recognized in the field as "professional" theologians.

Are you aware that philosophy is also a profession? That there are philosophical publications where professional philosophers publish their essays on some philosophical subject, have them critiqued by other professional philosophers, and are able to respond to the critiques?

I suppose that philosophy at its worst may be sophistry, but this is looked down on by good philosophers.

Silly question realy, if God created science there was no need for him to fit inside their constraints before he did so, he did not have to be created by anything

So do we have free will in heaven and can we use it to sin ?

You have been reminded that 'certain' has an 'e' as its second letter.

Dyslexia does not make you impervious to education, only religion can do that.

lol your trying to agrivate me thats fine, carry on correcting my spelling if you like, just understand that your not educating me, for that to happen I would have to learn from you, and you cant teach a dyslexic how to spell no matter how hard you try

hmm good question, I dont know I'll tell you when I get there.
I think you could say it would work one of two ways:
1. In heaven free will is taken away. Dont think its tihis way, but I could not say for sure
2. Yes you can sin, but you wouldnt, if you did you might loose out on being in heaven, and no one who got there would want that. This would make sence because when satan (in the fallen angel sence) was in heaven and he sinned by trying to overthrow God, so he was expelled from heaven. It would be harder to sin in heaven though as sinning would be much more clear, you would have the whole set of rules set into you, so it would not be like on earth where sinning is less clear cut and sometimes we forget, remember we would be at a higher state of consiousness so forgetting would not be an issue.

Yes, I am aware of this. It is the idea of a "professional philosophy forum" that I find unappealing.

No intention to 'agrivate' (sic), just having fun.
