I feel that I've finally learned enough about Bayesian rationality to try talking about some of the fundamentals... and this comic was the first result.
I believe there are other inhabited worlds. The distances between them may preclude their contacting each other, due to the Einsteinian limits on velocity. Also the universe may be too young for them to be numerous enough to establish regular contact.
I also believe in an afterlife,that consciousness is NOT a property of matter,but of quantum mechanics. The idea of eternal unconsciousness after death just slides off my mind. Even that is better than the idea of eternal torture for even one "sin". Just so for the idea of an eternal God with NO beginning, also slides right off my mind.
Yes, I am an atheist and have been since just over 2 years ago. The arguments of "saved" tract-writers turned me off !
