I don't believe in the afterlife · 7:29am Oct 11th, 2020
No offense to Christians, but I think Heaven and Hell is just a threat to mess with one's psyche, a.k.a. state of mind. Our bodies simply turn to dust when we die. I'm more of a believer in science than religion and it's sad that many people underestimate the importance of science all the time, that they'd rather ignore facts backed by science than accept it.
You hit the nail on the head perfectly; we live in an age where science is seen as an opinion, not the very thing that underpins reality.
This is especially notable in the current climate after an interview went viral after the interviewee declared they wouldn't get the virus and they could ignore the rules as 'I'm covered in Jesus' blood.'
In the words of Betty Bowers;

And look what happened to church leaders who violated stay-at-home orders. They got arrested.
I'm Christian, but this doesn't offend me.

Or died of the virus. God sure protected them, eh.
Those leaders you refer to, of course, claimed this was evidence that American Christians are being persecuted by atheists who want to force their agenda on religious people.
It's a shame that humans lack basic common sense these days.

You're right, but that was not a nice way to put it.

Apologies. I'm just rather bitter about the whole situation, you know? Seeing people running around ignoring restrictions and spreading the virus makes me rather annoyed, especially as it locks the rest of us down (and I nearly lost family members to the virus).

That is understandable.
I follow the rules when it comes to COVID-19 and I'm hoping to be a virologist when I'm older. Viruses are very interesting to study.

And very important too.
The way i see it is i think it's both. My reasons are these.
1. If life force is a thing then there is a afterlife (ex. Ghosts or things that can't be seen by normal people)
2. Science may explain how things works but it can't explain everything(ex. Everything we thought was fantasy or sci fi are being made)
3. For me, i like to stay in the middle because both can be right or both can be wrong
But that just how i see it 😐😐

Fair statement
