O/T Stocksbridge Bypass...

I'd like to think we'll get promoted next season.

It gives me a bit of comfort, and is exactly the same thing as you're on about.

Hope beyond hope, I suppose. Nothing logical about it.

 

Good for you, it makes me a little uncomfortable to think like that. I’m ‘really moody’ on it because you just won’t seem to accept that I have a different point of view to you. You don’t have to convince me on anything, it won’t affect your beliefs.

 

I really, really don't care if you dont share the same view as me I'm not convincing you one way or another, you just sound really morbid about it. I feel like I'm typing to a spoiled brat.

 

The fact that there is no evidence, does not prove that it doesn’t exist.

I don’t believe there is like, but it can’t be proven either way.

 

I've been given some sage by a colleague at work. The only stumbling block is Laura doesn't want me to use it just in case it's her uncle Billy that's making things go bump in the night.

 

I was thinking similar thoughts last year when an old uni friend died at 50. He was happily married for nearly 30 years and deeply religious, so for him heaven would be with his wife and kids, but for his kids, heaven would be with their future partners and children who never met him. His widow is only in her early 50s, so could quite possibly spend 20-30 years with a second husband - and heaven for her might be with either or both.

As an atheist myself, the only way I can see it is if *you* spend eternity at the time you were happiest - which might not necessarily be the same as for your partners, parents or children.

 

Any proof that God exists, can also be used to verify the existence of Odin, Zeus or another other all-powerful god.

 

I think there will be varying versions of yourself. It's a slice of your life as it were.

 

I'm sure Putin has hundreds of examples

 

If you believe in Heaven. I'd of thought you'd also have to believe in fate and that we're just living out what has already happened. That would explain why people are united with people who haven't even died yet if they do go to heaven. Possibly to a time when they were most happiest. I'd love the notion of departing when it's my time and being united with other family members in the state I shared my happiest memory of them.

Maybe heaven doesn't exist but your soul does. It's all in one's head and when you die. You go into an eternal lucid dream?

It's all got a bit deep since the Kamikaze Friar on the bridge on Stocksbridge bypass.

 

Then stop typing to me. Isn’t that the obvious solution?

 

My old man used to work at Stockbridge steelworks after he left the pit. When the friar was first reported (way back in the 70s I think) he said he’d seen a hooded figure there a couple of time. He wasn’t a man to make stuff up.

 

It's an old article and may have been disproved since, but I remember reading it about 10 years ago.

Then again, you have this scientist...

That's the best thing about science.

 

What about orbs? Just dust particles catching the light?
