So I’d ask the same question, is there any reason for you to believe in this metamorphosis beyond thinking it would be nice to have a life beyond this one?

Have there been any breadcrumb trails. Does it give an alternative explanation why you keep hearing Aunty Maggie’s voice after she’s dead for twenty years….and not that you’re just having auditory hallucinations

It isn't.

The point is even though belief in God is unscientific, the concept of a God follows on from the scientific question “How did we get here”

Afterlife? It follows on from allaying fear and wanting other people to do what you want

With the afterlife the only possible reason for believing it to be true, is wanting it to be true.

I didn’t dodge that point, it didn’t seem to necessitate an answer. A lot of things are unfalsifiable. I dont know that Optimus Prime isn’t real, I’ve evidence of him being a fictional creation but that doesn’t prove beyond doubt that he doesn’t exist on the far away planet of Cybertron and it’s just coincidental that someone on this planet came up with the idea for children’s entertainment.

You allow at least the possibility we got here thanks to God? But discount entirely the possibility God might take charge again when our physical bodies expire? Leaving aside religion, in terms of logic how can you allow both positions at the same time?

Fuck - LOL, I thought we were on the Currents thread.

So then... where does our season go after it has died? Like it did last night?

Because it’s ultimately solipsistic to believe that this God cares about us, and ultimately the desire to reward or punish is a very human appetite. And why should creating the universe also give someone the power to create life after death.

Actually if we want to be scientific, we do carry on after death….our atomic structure breaks down and we become something else. Bit like how the remains of prehistoric creatures become fossil fuel after centuries of tectonic pressure

Dubai apparently. After that, we'll see.
I haven't given up yet. I don't think the players have either. But having another look at the league table - Liverpool have won 3 more games than us having played 1 game less. It's not looking promising.

Not pleased at the result or the likely outcome for the season. But don't condone sending the players to hell for it.

Pre-pandemic I used to get fairly regular work trips there.
Hated it the first time I went but grew to quite like it. It's not a real place of course and I definitely wouldn't live there.
For a short trip...it's alright.

The gypos are suing us for voting against their fake sponsors. I think they are suing everyone else too, but so far nothing through my letterbox.

Aren't they allowed to put their own cash in directly if they want to? Why do they have to wear disguises and pretend to be sponsors?
