LOL Most appropriately the writers of 6th day are Wibberley and Wibberley and now a sequel by Wibberliest

The new version would have the memories of the former version, but the consciousness has to be new, as the old one was destroyed in the reading process.
The new consciousness would think it was a continuum, but the old one would be dead and not know anything, so your model of how an afterlife might work holds no appeal to anyone who values their own consciousness. The new version is not them.

What a lovely example of a bat shot crazy thread.

One of the best lessons I learned at school was not a text book thing, but a personal one. Anybody can say anything as long as their able to back it up with reasonable means. The burden of proof is on the information producer and define as many terms as possible this way everyone knows what's being discussed.

Are you talking about the christiab god, the viking god, hindu gods. Egyptian gods or what?!

The Creator loves trolls.

We don't need neuroscience to debunk your argument. We just need BASIC LOGIC!

You haven't supported this premise, therefore it fails and the basis of your argument fails.

We may as well argue over whether or not neuroscience contradicts my claim that after you die there will be BMX jumps in heaven. The problem with my statement not being that there are BMX jumps, but my assumption that I will continue living after I die.

^^ Is meaningless unless you support the premise of an afterlife above.


Thanks for sharing your ideas, but unfortunately they have no basis in reality and are just make-believe.

I wonder if you get divine food to fuel the divine body and allow the divine brain to function and also a divine digestive system, so you'd be giving off divine gas, and also some divine shit.
It's all useless without divine scenery with divine cats and divine dogs, because we need divine dogs to mark divine lamp posts as their divine territory by coating them with a layer of divine piss. The divine cats provide a divine companion for those of us who cannot handle a lot of divine humans.

Looks like the OP is gone, that was quick, I guess its redundent me saying then that repeating things over and over again doesn't automatically make them true.
