[QUOTE="RobGMN, post: 8913068, member: 683408"] Uggh, dude. You are making a "sky is falling" argument for something that isn't happeneing. California is not taking kids from parents. They are considering how a parent deals with their kids' needs when determining custody, if custody is being "battled". How much time have you spent dealing with fmailies that are in a custody battle? How much time have you spent with families that had kids taken away from them? How much do you deal with people on any side of the foster care system? Honest questions. I'm no fan of the religions that do the extreme things we are talking about, but Christianity is far from a clean act, even in modern times. Worshipping "gods", or animals, or rocks, or fire in the sky. Basically anything they couldn't explain or understand. That doesn't make it any more real. No. I do not beleive the afterlife exists. It's a fantasy made up by people who don't want to admit that life is short, and when it's done, it's done. The only afterlife might be int he fact that in the universe, energy is neither created nor destroyed. So those electical impulses in our brains continue. But without something to organize them, we'll never know it. And if we somehow DO, it's purely a lucky guess that was made via the HOPE of eternal life. No one can ever prove it, because no one has ever come back. [/QUOTE]
