You can't prove one doesn't live after death. Look, our sense-based empiric methods of 'proving' things are useless to deal with energy outside what our senses perceive.

That's why spiritual experience is so powerful. It's why trillions of people over time have pursued a spiritual path. There's something there. To one who has experienced the soul or divinity, it's as obvious as the sun. To one who has not, it's incomprehensible.

We're dealing with infinite Reality here. Your pronouncements on what does or does not exist, based on the tiny slice of Reality you currently perceive, are laughable. The parable of the blind men and the elephant comes to mind.

You have an extremely huge ego. Your perceptions seem delusional, and you offer no proof whatsoever.

“That’s why spiritual experience is so powerful. It’s why trillions of people over time have pursued a spiritual path. There’s something there. To one who has experienced the soul or divinity, it’s as obvious as the sun. To one who has not, it’s incomprehensible.”

Spirituality is another term for delusional make-believe. It’s basically masturbation of the mind. Have you submitted to Odin as there is proof to him. He said he killed all the ice giants. Seen any of them around?

“You can’t prove one doesn’t live after death. Look, our sense-based empiric methods of ‘proving’ things are useless to deal with energy outside what our senses perceive.”

You can’t prove anybody does!
ANYTHING beyond the senses is totally irrelevant. All you could do is speculate. It could be argued that since we cannot possibly know of or experience objective reality, is this conversation as well as the known universe taking place in a slice of a laboratory rats brain that the scientist accidentally left out and applied low voltage to over a long weekend?

I’ve seen dead people and animals. They all dissolve away and I have never seen them alive or aware after that.
