I understand your point of view and respect your reasoning.
From my experience, I believe there’s way more to life than what we are aware of.
Several times in my life, where I’ve been close to death, such as during an accident, I feel that my soul/consciousness, temporary left my body, and then returned.
No, I didn’t see anything other than my body below me and don’t have any great insights, however, I do distinctly remember what it felt like.
And as some of the comments have alluded to there is evolving science about the belief/observation that consciousness exists.
Now, as far as religious zealots go, that is a whole other viewpoint of potential toxicity.
I like how you frame your article as your perspective/opinion and portrayed in a considerate way.
Thanks for sharing this 🙏🦋💜
