Off to see Nevermore in eight hours

[Chromatose]

He was carried up there by dragons, apparently. Being digested in the skies.

He was carried up the silver mountain by dragons, apparently.

Fixed.

 

[Morbides]

He was carried up there by valkyries on dragons

double fixed

 

[Dead Winter]

With ninjas.

 

[El Stormo]

Let me be cool and controversial and say.........uh, I thought Warrel was an atheist? MAKE UP YOUR MIND WD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Atheism does not necessarily preclude an afterlife.

 

[Iris]

Touché.

 

[Chromatose]

No you guys, I was talking about this group everyone seems to be joining on Facebook which claims Dio was eaten by a dragon.

 

[Captain Beard]

Ninjas didn't get involved in any aspect of his death. It probably WAS a dragon.

 

[Super Mahrio]

Sounds great Iris!

 

[El Stormo]

No you guys, I was talking about this group everyone seems to be joining on Facebook which claims Dio was eaten by a dragon.

Which is preposterous. Everyone knows Dio would have killed the dragon single-handedly, while mortally wounded, only to finally collapse next to the slain body of his enemy.

Atheism does not necessarily preclude an afterlife.

yes it does

 

[Morbides]

No, it just precludes the existence of deities, not spirituality. Spirituality can refer to an ultimate or immaterial reality(did a wiki for a more accurate def), and it can include the said afterlife. 'Afterlife' is also a pretty broad term.

 

[El Stormo]

yes it does

No it doesn't. Atheism precludes the existence of a divine being, it does not explicitly state that a human being completely ceases to exist at the end of its life. It is entirely conceivable for an atheist that a living being goes on to some other existence at the end of this one.

 

[Morbides]

Indeed. Agnosticism would be a better term to describe what Uneasy_Conscience was talking about.

He's not talking about anything, really. All he did was say "yes it does".

As for agnosticism, you missed the ball there. Agnostics (like myself) do not preclude neither a deity, nor an afterlife. An agnostic says the debate between atheists and theists is completely pointless, because neither can prove its own point or disprove the other. Therefore, an agnostic accepts that no human being knows, or will ever know, the reality or irreality of a god or afterlife, at least not in this life. Agnosticism does not accept the reality of a divine being and/or afterlife, nor does it reject it.

 

[Iris]

" Can we agree, to disagree, on the concept of god "

 

[El Stormo]

Indeed. Also, if you think Warrel does not believe in an afterlife or at least thinks such is possible, Uneasy_Conscience, then you haven't understood a single bit of the Dreaming Neon Black album.

but it leans more to precluding an afterlife than atheism does
By saying you're unsure of something you're more inclined to not believe in it.

I see what you mean, but that's not the way agnosticism works. Agnosticism says only one thing: we don't know. Not that there is a chance of this or a bigger possibility of that - just that we don't know.

 

[Morbides]

I know the theory behind it, I just perceived it a bit differently I suppose, filtered through personal experience and all..as little as it is..
But heads up Iris!
