What happens when we die can't really be called 'inevitable,' since no one lives to tell about it. And NDEs don't count... there may be 6-12 minutes of brain activity after the body dies, but that doesn't prove the existence of anything or nothing.
I'm just as inclined to agree with you as I am to disagree. We simply have no idea. Not one of us.

We go back to the same state we were in before we were born. And deep down I think everybody knows this. There is just a difference between knowing and accepting.
Anything 'beyond' is completely unfounded human fancy. People who refuse to attribute spiritual experiences to the inner workings of the brain vastly underappreciate the power of the mind.

There's always two sides to every statement. Every statement can be questioned. You're treading into territory that cannot be proven or disproven at this point in our evolution. Maybe the instant the whole world figures it out, it ends. Maybe the instant your life is over, you figure it out. Maybe you're right, and spirituality is only a chemical reaction. I don't think so, but I don't know any better than you do.

Yes.
We humans all feel the need for security. The ego mentally creates the illusion of security.
Many will disagree with this but I see that science can be used in the same way as a religion. I mean as a security blanket so that people can think they understand this reality. The truth is that nobody knows anything.
All we have is observation and opinion.

That depends on your definition of god.
If you mean a creator then that doesn't make sense because its an infinate loop (who created the creator).
If you mean a higher being though IMO its likely.
Imagine the bacteria on us. If they could think like us, would they be wondering if they were a part of God?

Apollonius of Tyana coined the phrase "as above, so below" in 50 AD. The quote is "That which is above is that which is below." It's believed that what he meant to say is that the universe is a hologram, but he lacked the term.
It's depressing how this story we call Life isn't one of progression... fucking 50 AD. Hologram. Some of you might have heard that story in the Bible about how Moses and his crusaders got lost in the desert for 40 years. It seems comparable to our own story.

It's a different perspective that's for sure.
Life IS strange. ...that's why I study Biology!

Nicky Gumbel(basically the leader/speaker of alpha) a chritian course that takes a completely non aggressive, informational approach to spreading the gospel said that(not an exact quote tho)
we are so close to the kingdom of god in our history that we are experiencing it resonating through time...all these really strang "coincidences" and widespread psychic experience etc are all basically a sense of the power of the kingdom which is to come in the very near future(which I fully believe)
those who claim "theres no way to know" "just do what you fuckin want and be an animal" these ppl are EXACTLY where the serpent wants them to be...if you actually do the research you will see that what is happening has been foretold and that its just a matter of time before the dark prince is restrained and the truely good and faithful will live in bliss on this earth
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?book_id=73&chapter=1&version=48
make sure to read through all 22 pages...and when you get to parts that are sure to send chills down your spine...try to realize that what has happened needed to be...wake up to the truth

What?
Im sorry but if you are reffering to the book of revalation then understand that it is so abstract it could be interprated at any time during history.
And the only prophecy to come true was that isreal became a nation again, which was the doing of christian nations.
We are not the ones who act like animals(even though we are). We think for ourselves as much as possible. You follow a dogma and live in fear of your imaginary friend. You are a sheep.
Im sorry i like to be respectfull of others beliefs but this guy definintly doesnt so what ya gonna do.
