Dear Bart,
Thank you for replying soon.
I understand that you are very keen on proofs.
Can you prove that death is the end of everything?
I am not interested in either your opinion or that of Hitchen, as the two of you are mere amateurs. You have limited yourselves to the pure materialistic side of life, denying the spiritual.
So, once more: proofs, of what you assert.

Dear Bart,
A friend of mine told me, that in Virginia two teens committed suicide. Without proof, what is their position now in your opinion?

en op 5 oktober:

Dear Bart,
As I understand some Dutch I found a most remarkable answer about "hell"
With what authority did you utter this idea?
What proof do you have - or better said: what proof exists that there is nothing like hell?
To me you behave like some doctors who won't tell their patient that he has a fatal disease.
In the long run he will felt to be deceived.
Konrad.

Dear Konrad,

It’s all about evidence, which determines the plausibility of statements. My entire website is dedicated to showing why atheism is more plausible than theism. If you disagree, you should criticize my arguments, not merely stating I’m wrong.

I have devoted a complete article (in Dutch) showing why there is no such thing as a soul. This also evaporates the problem of hell: there is no soul which could spent eternity in there. When one dies, it’s all over: dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return (Gen. 3:19).

With kind regards,

Bart Klink

Citaat

Religion is based, I think, primarily and mainly upon fear. It is partly the terror of the unknown and partly, as I have said, the wish to feel that you have a kind of elder brother who will stand by you in all your troubles and disputes. Fear is the basis of the whole thing -- fear of the mysterious, fear of defeat, fear of death. Fear is the parent of cruelty, and therefore it is no wonder if cruelty and religion have gone hand in hand. It is because fear is at the basis of those two things. In this world we can now begin a little to understand things, and a little to master them by help of science, which has forced its way step by step against the Christian religion, against the churches, and against the opposition of all the old precepts. Science can help us to get over this craven fear in which mankind has lived for so many generations. Science can teach us, and I think our own hearts can teach us, no longer to look around for imaginary supports, no longer to invent allies in the sky, but rather to look to our own efforts here below to make this world a better place to live in, instead of the sort of place that the churches in all these centuries have made it.
