@MLClark nicely put. And I almost made the Abrahamic distinction.
I love so very much whenever you nudge my posts for deeper thinking. Thanks for always being present to push / challenge / complicate ideas that could easily come across as simplistic. :)
@MLClark I know I appreciate my cognitive gears getting shifted too.
@MLClark @CanisPundit Regarding continuity of consciousness, from my perspective, it's weird watching everyone argue that they know what really happens after death, because it keeps happening to me.
; )
May your delight in us mortal fools continue apace for many millennia to come. :)
@CanisPundit
Agnosticism is the measure of one's capacity to "know" whether there is or isn't, so one can be an agnostic atheist, no problem, but the "proof" would still come at the same juncture, post-mortem.
The better challenge to what I wrote is to point out that one might believe in an afterlife absent the existence of a god - which is possible. The shorthand of a single post doesn't allow for those more Buddhist-atheist interpretations of a continuity of consciousness, but they exist.
