Henry !
Great post!You should be a writer as you express yourself well! Now,one of my not so good posts ! The early Christians were not 'persecuted' per se - they were slaughtered/tortured -even whole families-by the millions over hundreds of years. I have researched history and taught this subject many years ago.
My context was in reference to Roman thought -not ages past. These early believers of Jesus were 'without the gods' of Rome.
To me it is 'not reasonable' to use these words found within posts by so many good posters on this fine site to deny something that one has no knowledge of or, in this case, has never experienced. You have not yet died, yet you,like the Christians, are telling what awaits me and the whole world actually,which is nothing!
You are speculating too!!! Never been there never done that ,but you seem as though you have and with deep conviction inform me what awaits one after death!!! Coke Zero I know,but how do you know that you ain't dead yet ? Do you have total proof or some evidence we need to know about relative to this issue?
Or are you taking it on faith ?
Again,good posting. Keep it up sir.Do you write ? Thanks for answering.My work prevents me from engaging on a regular basis ,so I jump in anywhere at any time...

Hey Doug, don't you remember all the good times we had before we were born?
Those were the days!

Nah, Reggie: when the aliens abducted me they stole all my memories.

Howard, any particular reason you started a different blog rather than continue on your last one where Henry posted the response you are praising? I ask only because there were several people, including myself, waiting for you to respond to our questions.

Probably pawned them for drug money.

Doug,
You changed the subject ! We were posting about death- not your birth, which had witnesses to attest to the event ! These are two different subjects.
So then back to subject .So you can like despised Christians 'by faith' affirm to me you do, beyond any and all doubt, that there is no life after death ? If you really know and have absolute proof of this you need to share your secret knowledge with us.

Doug,
Messing up on how to edit my post !So doing another one here ,sorry.
I was really referring to childbirth (what I said though still holds) in keeping with your wordage. But,we know beyond all doubt we can witness childbirth and that females do experience it, and have given countless stories with witnesses ,including MDs,about their experience-so what? Don't get your reasoning at all.

Reggie/Doug,
Why the change of subject here? Past lives? We are posting about death,etc. Please read Dr.Daniel Amen's books on ADD. I am seeing a lot of that here!
