: first of all I dont mean to as sound mean cynical when I wright but when your on the internet I feel the need to exploit the privliage of being faceless and relatively anoyomous. So here are my two great manifesto's (and like all manifesto's I feel they should be argued so please feel free to offer retort no matter how acrimonious they may get)

Cynical? Mostly you sound kind of like a mad hatter.

: - ARe myths and dogmas about afterlife rooted in our subconscious fear of death.

Or in the reverse, the subconscious desire to promote life. Half full, half empty?

DO all people amuse themselves by believing in some great hearafter.

I don't think they're very amused. Most take their crazy beliefs pretty seriously.

Are we that terrified by the idea of disappearing one day. that we need these illusions to function while we are still alive.

Or biology needs to fool people into hope to keep us working the evolutionary railroad. Maybe our genetics are just a wicked deceiver.

Does the sould exist?

If you mean something beyond the brain and mind... I say NO.

Rest of your stuff is interesting too but I don't have enough concentration to tackle it right now. Maybe later.
