With any downvotes, I would appreciate a courteous, thoughtful comment. I have not understood the possible harm in what I said, only likely disagreement. Disagreement is OK, but it seems that it could be better to write clearly rather than just quietly hide.

If what you said was inaccurate, ie if there was no life after death, in my opinion it'd be harmful to claim that there is.

I like how you put that, and I think I agree with you. I am also extremely grateful for what I know, and for knowing it (per links provided in the other response). If I can be of service in answering questions I will try.

FWIW it’s worth I didn’t downvote you however your assertion of life after death was provided with no evidence but appears that your are asserting your faith as fact.

That will rub some people the wrong way, me among them though not the way it would have once, I’ve someone what mellowed with age.

Thanks. I can assert that I have learned some things for myself. Details at my web site (linked from my profile--it is a simple site and I hope very navigable/skimmable...).

Edit: I think I have a great deal of compelling evidence that is meaningful to me. Any other person has to decide if it is meaningful to them, but it is extensive (as I have written).

Meaningful and objective are not the same thing

Isn't it obvious that dark retreats as light approaches? :) That's why you are downvoted, despite not writing anything even remotely offensive or wrong.

Thanks much for the kind words.

(fwiw to anyone: I wrote about how I know what I said. Link is in my profile.)
