Religion is a highly personal issue, which concerns all people at some time in their life. There are many aspects of religion which are regularly disputed by different societies, the main one being whether we survive after death.
Whether we accept or reject survival after death is all a question of what information we have had access to. I do not believe in life after death, I accept it as a stone-cold scientific fact, just the same as the world being round and not flat. This is because I have had the advantage of looking at the scientific proof of survival.
It makes me very angry that most people do not know that international teams of scientists have carried out repeatable experiments under laboratory conditions proving that we all survive death. The results have been published in leading scientific magazines, but the information is being deliberately kept from coming to the attention of the public for obvious reasons. Scientific teaching across every discipline is locked into the mind and brain being the same: with no chance of going anywhere when our physical bodies pack in. Also who is going to pay the salaries of the priests when millions find out it is a scientific fact that we all survive death? They will be made redundant. Those of us who are trying to tell everybody in the world that we all survive death have run head on into a brick wall. The scientific and religious establishments have a vested interest in making sure ordinary people never come across the books that I have read and they will do anything to achieve this.
It is very important that everybody has the same choice that was available to me - survival or oblivion. No choice can be made unless people have access to both sides of an argument.
Imagine that a man has just been arrested for a crime and has been brought to court, but there is only a prosecuter, he is allowed no defence. The judge will be getting a biased opinion, as many people are getting with religion. They hear on
ly the religious view not secular one.
It is just too bad if the truth upsets the Pope. Discoveries in physics should belong to every man, woman and child on earth.
I am not saying that religion is necessarily a bad thing: it provides many people with somewhere to turn to in desperate times, but it also causes problems. We only need to look in the newspaper to realise this; however, we should be able to make up our own mind on the issue.
