How about 'we' live for ever, as an entity - going from body to body down the time track - but each body decays in time. There is a lot of evidence with regard to past lives - so why not into the future?

do peers that are in the quack-science field count?

I have that same response to my mother all the time when it comes to discussions about athiesm/theology. It's obnoxious when the answer always is "because the bible says"

That's pretty much what made me abandon christianity too, I've never been very religious, I was just pretty ignorant and thought all the answers to the universe were pretty clear-cut and unmistakable. Ha ha, well not really!

One of my biggest gripes with this is that children aren't taught to question what they are fed as truth by others. Schools should teach children to ask questions and think for themselves, instead of blindly accepting everything they read as absolute truth.

If you don't learn this, then "the bible says so" becomes a valid argument. No offence to lostclimates mom.

It was mostly this place + the rest of the internet that caused me to begin questioning my beliefs, I used to be pretty argumentative so even when my views weren't already being challenged I would tend to make it happen anyway.

Well at any rate, I feel the whole experience ended up affecting me for the better, even if that's not the case for many people.

I was just like you redeemer. People never teach kids anymore to question the societal views of those around them. The point in my life that I'm going to be most proud of is when my daughter looks at me and challenges one of my beliefs by pointing out a fallacy that changes the way I feel and greater enlightens me in that area. Then I'll KNOW I've taught her to think for herself and that she will never have to rely on others to tell her how life works because she will seek answers on her own.
