    • This only accounts for one of the gods of one stupid belief system. One would have to believe in all of the stupid to cover their ass and that is impossible.monospaced

    • Believers&unbeliever... both go to the shit place they believe in; the knower gets never-ending do-overs. Heaven's for quitters and death's not the end.tbgoodwillie
    • If only one is true then you don’t know which one. They all have equal claim. So you have to subscribe to all, which is beyond silly. Just like the wager.monospaced
    • The mostly reasonable conclusion to this scenario is that none are true.monospaced

    • I’m basing this on the fact that we don’t really see conscious anywhere else ant all outside of a living brain of a biological organism.monospaced
    • That's not a fact. Like gravity, whilst we can describe it we still don't know what it 'is'. Some think consciousness is a field, others an emergent property ofMorning_star
