Sounds like a good friend    ......Looked after you.

Same surgery here ( maybe ), re-constructive, torn MCL and ACL.....

Yup same exact surgery...... Only the doc found during the surgery that the MRI was a bit off. It showed my acl completely gone but it was actually still there..... he rapped it up and did not complete the reconstruction.... Kind of weird. I looked up the statistics and false positives from MRIs for torn acls are nearly non existent.  Anyway just happy for a shorter recovery.

I was wondering all of your thoughts. I am sorry if this question is asked 1000 times lol.

You wake up in the recovery lounge.

They then evaluate your performance x-factor style to decide if you're ready for admission into society. It can go 1 of 3 ways -
1. Pass - You have shown a high moral standard and are now granted full citizenship of Utopia.
2. Close fail - Your morals are iffy so its back into the simulation pod to iron out the creases (often called reincarnation).
3. Bad fail - You have shown evil so they take you up the firey mountain and chuck you into the lava (often called ring of fire).

Occansionaly someone passes into citizenship in such glandour and style they become something similar to a rockstar. The entertainment they provided Utopians during their simulation pod peroid is rewarded with admission to the leadership ranks where they enjoy a special type of fame status called God. Oh and by the way all the citizens of Utopia are homophobic and hate maniac depressives!

Why would they hate manic depressives and be homophobic??

Better not to assume that, IMO.

Because science hasn't yet determined the existence of an afterlife/sould doesn't mean it doesn't exist. After all, germs & bacteria existed thousands of years before science became aware of them, and the earth has always been round, despite educated people who said it was flat. Science still doesn't know exactly what dark or black matter is, yet has determined a large part of our universe is composed of it. A multidimensional universe, time travel, both scientific ideas theoretically possible. Given this context, does the idea of a soul sound ridiculous? Science doesn't know whether souls exist, maybe someday that question will be scientifically answered, but until then, we're on our own.

What do you say at an atheist funeral? All dressed up and nowhere to go.

Myself I find reincarnation a calming thought as I cant stand the idea that it just turns black and goes nowhere.

I think the idea we are reincarnated seems to be much more accepted than it used to be.
Perhaps due in part to the net allowing us to communicate with far more people than we used to.
