It’s best not to keep an open mind on all issues. Sometimes some things need rresolution. We are certain about some things. This certainty helps us function. I am certain there is no afterlife. I knowcthis, like I know I’m not dreaming as I type this. When I hear a relative talk about going to haven I never hear the voice of someone who KNOWS it to be true there is an afterlife. It’s more speculstive. Wishful.
Obama is not a space alien sent from a distant galaxy to undermine AMerica. I’m certain. I’d stake your life on it. It’s not even good or useful to keep an open mind on all aspects of reality.
Maybe if the universe and G-d are truly insane there’s an afterlife. Or Obama is a space cowboy named Maurice who has come to destroy the pompatous of love. And in general it’s good to be openiminded. .
But come on.
There’s no heaven. Its a narrative created by us for crowd control and anxiety naintenance. The odds are more likely that each of us is a character in a cosmic video game. Which I put at 50-50 currently.
