Afterlife

Updated, 1.17.18:

Here's a thought:  What about a Dr. Frankenstein scenario, in which a dead man is brought back to life?  Does the soul that was once united with that body return to it?

That question may come up some day if artificial life is created.

The truth is a slippery thing.  But keep in mind that the truth is out there.  Post modernists like to say that there is no truth.  Not the same thing as saying that it is slippery.

Truth is truth.

This seems to clear up a bit of confusion.

If there is a soul..., is there a God?

When asked that question when I was young, I said yes, I believed there was a soul.  But I wasn't sure about a God.  I was told that that made me an agnostic.

Prager says something here that shows me that ( if I were to accept what he says as true ) that what I really was, at that time, was confused.

But the confusion lives on.  Life is short, and answers to questions have a shelf life equal to one's own.  That would seem to indicate a need for urgency.

I tend to follow things closely in this life because I think it is important.  Some may think that this is a mistake.  But there it is.

If there is an afterlife, then eternity is a long, long time.
