The world can't exist peacefully with religion. If you can't see that, then I suggest you kill yourself.

@iclash Well there are many evidences. If u just search in the youtube u can find so many of them. Scientist such as Dr Ian Stevenson, Dr. Robert Almeder have investigated it and the evidence are so overwhelming. If u take reincarnation as some kind of a theory and search for it u can find so many phenomenons that supports it. Well there are certain phenomenons that cannot be experimented by current technology but that doesn't mean they are not true.

I love this video, I love to whip it out sometimes when I'm with someone just to share the beauty in the metaphor.

@MaduTheImaginator What "facts"? First I think you would need to define 'fact' or at least get a clearer understanding of it. If there was any such evidence people wouldn't need to question its existence and yet here we are. We don't need to question whether gravity is something that exists because there is evidence, clear, present and testable evidence. We don't fully understand how it works but we know it is there. We build machines based on that evidence that work.

What is ur view about reincarnation? I've been particularly interested in it and have watched many videos of evidence all through out the world in youtube. I've been raised in a society where we believe in reincarnation and so when i serch for evidence i find that there are facts that make me think that it can be very true. But what do an atheist believe in this?

I have learned a lot about robotics and fancy algorithm to "imitate" life, but no cigar. Throughout my years of heavy duty mind computations, I have realize that complexity can't create one iota of consciousness or life. I've been to the end down the rabbits hole, and there I found only one thing, that God is everywhere.

I wasn't smart enough, but becUse it's simply impossible to do. The thought alone is mind boggling, it's stops u in ur tracks, u can't even begin to imagine how to start, or where to start. I already knew there was a God, but I wanted the challenge, I wanted to prove myself, cont....

When the idea sparked in my mind to build a robot, I saw unlimited possibilities, of course I was naive beyond belief. I realized that nobody wAnts just to build a robot, but to create a robot that can understand. Well I learned the hard way, it was an impossible task, not because cont.....

When you said "I would rather live my life" I thought you were going to say "like a candle in the wind"

We do not remember anything before we are born....so therefore we will not remember or be conscious of anything after we die....We are simply just another species of this planet and to think we are special is purely based on ones ego.....To take the Bible or Koran literally is to miss the true spiritual connotations or metaphorical meanings of the messages within the texts. Mankind wrote these thoughts down...not some all powerful deity......Gods are the dreams/myths of mankind....
