Re: A Duty To Die?
 

We live in a material world, so it's nigh on impossible to provide proof as we know it of something spiritual.

After our soul leaves the body we are spirit only, we are actually spirit now, but encased in a physical body. Those who have 'died' sometimes communicate with us in various ways.

I'm a very practical person and wouldn't believe this unless I had had personal proof that life continues after we leave here, so I can understand people being skeptical.

When your time comes, like I say, just bear it in mind as I think it will help. There's no need to be frightened, someone comes to collect you, so nobody ever 'dies' alone.

Nobody’s surprised you believe in life after death Richard. Plenty of people do. I do. The objections here are with the extremely specific descriptions you’re giving of how it occurs in the immediate moments after death. I don’t think you can offer such uncompromising descriptions of things the human race has struggled with and argued over for millennia without expecting some pushback. We need some context. Sentences like “I died on the operating table and before they brought me back, this is what happened… “ or “My friend had a near-death experience and this is what he saw …” would be helpful.

The bills already being watered down, they're trying to remove the judicial oversight element in favour of a expert panel, the thing I've always worried about was once introduced it'd be watered down due to discrimination over time, I never envisaged it'd get watered down before it became law though :spin:

The committee was stacked with true believers. It was always going to be shredded back to its ideological bare bones at this stage. The only silver lining here is that sound oversight is the only reason some MPs voted for it at 2nd reading. Without that, they may not stick with it. It doesn’t need too many MPs to change their vote to fall.
