For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.

Stopped it after seven seconds when I saw "Made by the creators of The Atheist's Ally app for android"...

I don't think a bunch of smarmy hell-bound heathens have much to tell me about whether or not I'm going to Heaven...

If I do go, the one thing I can be certain of is that I won't be running into any of them... :nana


(Except maybe as they're passing me on the "down" escalator... :P )

Except of course that won't happen...

Because as we have both sensibly decided, we're just going to "say no" to death... 8-)

Not on the cards...I just don't see the advantage to it really...I'm opting out... :ok

Like you two, I used to think I'd live forever. Now there are times when I think I've already lived forever.

Yes, I suppose when the universe collapses back in on itself several billion years from now, that will be tough to avoid... :?

But the way I look at that, is that it gives me a considerable amount of time to plot an escape route... :ok

Don't asteroids circle Uranus? Or was that just toilet paper looking for Klingons?
