<< Ok, I'll never use any sense of symbolism or metaphoric speech again... NOT >> Again??? You haven't used any yet! Give me a reference to anything that you have writen that could be considered symbolic or metaphoric. <g> << If there is a God who brought us into creation, I don't see how such a short life spent largely sleeping and laboring (no matter how nice a job you may have) could be considered a gift, >> If this short life is worth so little, how come you are so interested in taking away women's reproductive rights? If, as you believe, there is a Heaven, then by sending fetal souls directly to Heaven, by aborting them, would be much better than forcing them to suffer thru their life on Earth. OTOH, if life is as bad as you say, if I were you, I'd change your life. Do something new and exciting. Try something new. Life is wonderful. Experiencing this world and the beauty of nature is a magnificant experience. This is Heaven (to some of us). << What you believe of Heaven is irrelevant, since it was never a part of the question I posed to you here. >> I don't find this as symbolism or metaphoric speech, I find it snotty. << If there is no soul, why then have so many had out of body experiences? >> The mind is capable of all kinds of hallucinations. I've had some out of body experiences with Pamila Sue Lee, and then was cruelly waken up by the alarm clock. Does that prove that I have a soul? << I don't see how such a short life spent largely sleeping and laboring could be considered a gift >> That is a great statement to your God. God's greatest gift to you was life. But, you ungratefully reject it as a worthless gift if you can't get eternal riches and rewards from Him. What a religious belief. To me, it's a gimme, gimme, gimme belief. The next time you go into church, why don't you complain to God for giving you this worthless life, and demand that you be given eternal rewards or you won't believe in Him anymore?
