Greetings again
I just want to comment on the comment u made:

"Now if this turns into another personal tit-for-tat, please tell me and I will "stand down""

How can InI ever have any productive reasonings if you think that any exchange better InI is a "tit-4-tat"?

I am not trying to win any points.

I am trying to answer the question to the best of I abilities.

I will admit that I am ignorant to many things.

But who isnt?

I think InI can reason on this forum until InI fingers fall off and InI will still no know these things for sure unless we can experience it.

Knowledge without experience is just information.

Man has been reasoning about what happens after 'death' for millenia.

I dont think InI will answer such a question with absolute certainty on this forum.

So for the sake of trying to sit in the seat of the Almighty, I will acknowledge that I dont know.

Peace
