Letting fairy tales be our guide and explanation for anything is bad. If we don’t know how something works better to admit it and try to learn than to make up horse shit about it. Lies are bad.
Go ahead and find a scientific answer for what happens to your spirit/consciousness when you die.
It’s not a question that can be answered scientifically. You can’t test dying. You can’t talk with dead people and document what they are experiencing.
There are aspects of the human condition that can’t be tested with the scientific process. I’m alright with religion or philosophy handling those questions.
Also, do not mistake my argument here as a representation of my personal beliefs about spirits, consciousness, or the existence of an afterlife. I barely acknowledge the existence of one of those things.
Spirit is an inherently religious concept and cannot be proven either. The burden of proof is on the person making the claim and you literally cannot prove that exists. We can prove that consciousness stops at death by observing that brain activity stops. This make believe gives con artists a way to rob us and turn people against each other. Religion is memetic cancer and does not provide benefit.
I appreciate that you don’t believe this stuff but it’s still bad to support it. The proverbial devil doesn’t need an advocate.
Let religion be the guide on things that have not and can not be explained by science.
For everything else, let’s defer to science.
