Grasscarp. //I do not "tell fibs" and I do not "spread malicious gossip"//
Perhaps a memory refresher is in order.

//I do not have "prejudiced religious blinkers" - more rudeness//
Yes, you do. See the link. When the victim mentality is presented with reality, the accusation of ‘rudeness’ is often the first line of defence. Sadly for you, the evidence is there.
//So - Although in the first line you say you are prepared to answer my question (with certain provisos about what I can and cant do!)//
It’s not unreasonable to ask you not to misrepresent me or the treatment you receive in R&S, as you have clearly done in the past.
//All you seem to do is pull apart anything anyone says line by line and carefully avoid actually saying anything meaningful about your own stance.//
If I am capable of pulling your posts apart, perhaps you need to rethink them before posting. Having said that, if I’m not saying anything meaningful, I can’t understand why what I am saying is causing you this seemingly continual irritation.
Despite having failed to read my many previous posts on the subject properly, you’re clearly very happy to continue to criticise, but I’m a patient ‘soul’, so once again, and this time just for your benefit, yes I think it’s possible that the energy amassed by the physical body during life survives corporal death – so call it a ‘soul’ if you like - and I’ll probably get lambasted by the scientists here for the way I’ve worded that – but what’s new? They don’t agree with me anyway. Having said that, I don’t believe that any of us ends up sitting on a cloud playing a harp, or inheriting the earth, or grovelling at some imaginary supernatural entity’s feet, or sitting at its right hand, or enjoying the attentions of umpteen virgins (do women get umpteen virgin men? Yuk! I do hope not!!) - or burning in hell, or whatever else the various flavours of ‘faithful’ think we end up doing for eternity.
I trust that is meaningful enough for you and has clarified the matter to your complete satisfaction.
