   That’s a really stupid question Billie because it wouldn’t make a difference at all, belief in a spiritual sense would still be scrutinised as we live in a dualistic world! 
   
   We face death at every moment and still it is part of this dualistic law for those to rightly question and for those that rightly believe, a dualistic world must have an opposite to all thoughts and actions!
   
   If it sounds a bit strong then blame my partner for giving me the hump tonight!
   There’s duality for you.

   Markbennis. WHAT?  I have no idea what you're saying - not one little inkling.  Of course religious concepts would change if death were eliminated.  Catholics and all Christians who believe in heaven and hell after life would need to re-think their views of morality and judgment to say nothing of fundamentalists who believe they will be rewarded after death with virgins or whatever.  Maybe the question is wrong - or maybe it's because I have absolutely no belief in the existence of the soul.  If you're talking about duality, it must be based on the concept of a spiritual and physical existence.  I exist in my physical body and mind - period.  I have no desire for a spiritual existence.
