Does Religion Help You Cope With Loss?by Atheistblindchick764 views
@rohanwotan2 I'm not advocating that we are living in a "artificial" reality, I was just saying that our consciousness can inhabit different levels of reality like in dreams or possible simulations. That is why the world of atoms and energy is not the only reality but one of many and this is why I object to your term what is real because I'm assuming you only mean what is physical and what is not. Dreams are as real as the physical universe when you're inside a dream just with different rules.

@rohanwotan2 You can tell us if your view of the afterlife was a postive or negative force in your life, yes it can be both but in the final analysis did it bring greater comfort or despair in your life. There are many ways to interpret what's in the bible and I take it holistically. To me the message of the bible is one of hope and salvation and God is just and fair. Yes there is a hell but you can avoid it and even get out of it once you repent your sins and call out to Jesus or God.

@rohanwotan2 If you have any ideas be free to send me a tell on my youtube mailbox, I'll do the same. I imagine it's not that hard as people do this kind of stuff all the time online.

Fair enough. Obviously this might take a bit of work, but I think a solution can be found that keeps folks (if any) following this conversation (now or in the future) in the loop, yet make it easier for us both to communicate. I don't know how my comments are presented by YT, but yours show up somewhat randomly placed. Not your fault by any means, simply a limitation of YT. But it does make it very hard for me to follow. I'll PM you later on ideas.

Whether it was a positive force or not can be debated. As for the threat of hell, it is Jesus that provides that, so why would you think faith in god would alleviate it? Jesus is part of the alleged triune nature of god, so it is god himself that created, manages and maintains hell. And this isn't my mothers view of the afterlife, it is catholic dogma and also that of most christian sects like baptists, etc. I just happened to figure out neither god nor hell exists.

So god doesn't exist, we're in a computer program? Or this is the dream of a brain in a jar? Really, you want to go down this rabbit hole? Because both those arguments do not require the existence of a deity, you get that, right?

@rohanwotan2 This topic sheds light on why we differ in opinion so much about the afterlife. Dreams is a reality, you are in your dream you exist in it or you are the dreamer. Like in the Matrix people plugged into the matrix live their life in the reality of the computer simulation. This shows that your consciousness can operate in different states of total reality in all its forms.
Say you can never wake up from a dream is the dream your reality?

@rohanwotan2 I'm enjoying the discussions as well as I never get the oppurtunity in my private life to debate atheism and I still have many questions and doubts about atheism I want to explore. We can chat online and record the conversation so others can enjoy it too. I'm not experience in setting this kind of stuff up but if you are I am willing to go along. I do have a mic and I'm usually free in the evenings and weekends.

@rohanwotan2 I suppose you did answer my question but I'm still not certain what to make of your reply. Did you say that your theism was a more positive force in your life at the time then your mothers view of her Catholism? If this is true why didn't your positive view of God comfort you and put your hellfire visions of the afterlife at rest? Why did your mothers vision of the afterlife trump your positive view of God?

The question of hell, especially in my Mother's case, was problematic, that is true. However at that time, I felt it must indicate a more compassionate god than allowed by the catholic church and most forms of christianity. That is why, in part, I noted that some may deny that I was a christian at that time. But I was still a theist, with at least the "god the father" vision of a god. Very far from an atheist or agnostic, by any measure.
