And as for the fear from a hell: I think that there is nothing after our deaths. Neither heaven nor hell: we will simply lose a great deal of what our consciousness consists of and as a consequence we will lose the consciousness itself. That's quite logical, isn't it? |
It is logical indeed.
More comments to give:
Sometimes, just as jokes, when I say something which I know is wrong, and everybody knows is wrong, and they tell me to demonstrate it or whatever, I say "It is like that because I'm the universal power: creator, controller, and owner of the complete universe and further, omnipotent essence....". They say I will eat my words. I say "I'll be waiting with ketchup to add to them"
Maybe what most of the theist people think when thinking about god isn't that he "exists" as empirical, or physical existence (me, you, computers, apples...) but as like you said, exists in things, it is the "good" and "positive" things. It is in everything, but this "in" doesn't refer physical, but like the other, means spiritual. Now, this is another subset of god themes: there is nothing spiritual in spiritualism.
