[And I don't care what I keep reading here about the 'joy' of dying and going to another 'spiritual' life - since one doesn't exist. I should know. I tried dying once and, let me tell you, you can have it.] Now as for the 600 figure, that's the number of USA soldiers who have now died in Iraquiville. [Try telling their folks they should be 'happy' that they each had an 'interesting' death and are now in Heaven with God, Jesus, The Holy Spirit, angels - of all things -, saints and all the good dead people who have ever lived - that is, since Christ was resurrected, of course, and not before.]
Hey, I know our kind is always killing one another so we need to have something that makes dying easier to live with - even if there is a perfectly good reason no one can prove there is an afterlife. It does not exist.
I know. Aren't you the guy who wrote about what caused the transformation of JC and have proclaimed you are a firm believer in his message? Yep, the one and the same but - lest we forget - Jesus came back as a changed, PHYSICAL specimen. [I won't bore you with a rendition of how he went about showing that at length to his apostle buddies. You already know.]
Anyway - my bet's still on the table and Vegas is still not giving me odds so it has to be straight up for now. My biggest concern is that the you-know-what's going to hit the fan when The Bush Boys turn over control to some of those questionable characters they've hand picked to run the place.
Now insofar as a 'life after' goes, I will reiterate: "I have NO FAITH in DEATH."
[That is unless we all somehow manage to adhere to those two commandments Christ noted we all must - and I don't see how that could possibly happen at any point in the forseeable future not to mention in my great-, great-, great-, great, great-, great-, great-, great-, great-, great-, great-, great-, great-, great-, great-, great-, great-, etc., -grandchildrens' lifetimes.]
