Not to dig up old skeletons, but I guess cyberbrain technology a la Ghost in the Shell would be cool too.

Hooray for cryonics!

I’m just hoping it becomes reversible in the next 50 or so years.

[...] If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!Who says atheists cannot organize themselves? A group of atheist bloggers who debunk everything Ray Comfort says (Raytractors) have organized a strike of his blog. I’ve joined their group as a contributor, so hopefully there will be some posts debunking Ray from me as well, after all I have done them in the past. [...]

Even if it could be proved that every dying person is hoping for an afterlife, that still wouldn’t make them theists. Say they believe in the supernatural. That doesn’t mean the supernatural has to be divine. Maybe souls survive after death because space mermaids like to preserve them.

Well my great grandfather’s dying words were - “There is nothing”.

It was, of course, a lie what you read about my religious convictions, a lie which is being systematically repeated. I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly. If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it.
– Albert Einstein, 1954, from Albert Einstein: The Human Side, edited by Helen Dukas and Banesh Hoffman, Princeton University Press

I do not believe in immortality of the individual, and I consider ethics to be an exclusively human concern with no superhuman authority behind it.
— Albert Einstein, 1954

Again, Comfort is an idiot.

This is an obvious attempt to provoke the old “there are no atheists in foxholes” argument, something that has been thoroughly debunked by the number of atheists in the military.

Not to mention that Einstein died a non-believer in a personal God … a non-believer in an afterlife.

Ray Comfort is a joke.
