Well, you were the one who said heaven was sex, drugs and rock n roll. That's obviously earthy and limited by mere mortal minds.
Eh does it matter? The main point is that when put in a near-death experience, humans tend to report a calm, euphoric feeling. I'm not saying it is supernatural. It has been said to be a survival trait. Obviously when humans cross that barrier and report a euphoric experience, a reasonable person can put 2+2 together and accept at the very least the human brain creates a 'heaven'. It also explains how idealistic forms of HEAVENS came about.
The sailor didn't say heaven is sex drugs and rock n roll, he said the opposite. He said heaven would NOT have those things and so it would be a boring place he wouldn't want to spend eternity.
The idea that the brain creates a heaven is nonsensical. One of the factors for death is brain death. A dead brain creates nothing. Even if it did, it is a soft tissue organ that rots quickly, organs are also sometimes incinerated after autopsy, and of course many people are creamated. The point being the brain only exists for a short period of time after death. So even if a dead brain were capable of creating a euphoric afterlife, it would be a very short one.
Yes him saying it is absent of those things and you saying that he "is the one who said heaven was sex drugs and rock and roll" is a big difference. You quoted him as saying the exact opposite of what he actually said.
Again with the sarcasm, I don't understand it. I am not trying to be smart, I was just pointing out that you misunderstood for the purpose of the conversation. You misunderstood him, no big deal, people make mistakes. But when you resort to childish sarcasm rather than just acknowledge your mistake it makes you look like exactly like that, a child.
Why is no one on this site capible of being an adult and acknowledging they made a mistake. It is such a big deal to just say "oh sorry, I misunderstood" and move on? No one will think less of you. I promise they will think more of you than if you use sarcasm to pretend you were right or to dodge the fact that you were wrong. No one respects that.
Is heaven real?
