Where would they have \"gone\"? Do you not know that 0 = 0?\n\nLogically speaking nothing is nothing and even when our bodies \"die\" that is just the physical system being the physical system, in flux as it constantly is in at least some respect (see Heraclitus of Ephesus). Your dads are still your dads. It should be their Reason you loved.\n\nSo engage with Reason (God).\n\nStudy and learn to formally REASON with LOGIC - and to do so with a good faith approach aka \"intellectual honesty\". \n\nThis is what it means to \"reckon faithfully with the One True God\".\n\nYour fathers and their \"logoi\" are in the Father (Logos).\n\nNow I will use these same words as the semantic basis for a formal argument (proof) demonstrating this with logical rigor. \n\nPremises: \n\nP: Logically speaking nothing is nothing and even when our bodies \"die\" that is just the physical system being the physical system, in flux as it constantly is in at least some respect (see Heraclitus of Ephesus). The Law of Identity supports and even mandates this, that nothing is nothing as A is A and x = x (as 0 = 0).\n\nQ: Those who think their loved ones (L) have vanished or are “gone” in an absolute sense—just because their mortal figure has come to the end of that particular sequence or set of states—are, understandably (as they are often emotionally distraught and struggling to set emotion aside to look at it all in a purely logical way), mistaken. This is a relatively common phenomenon that we can observe in human society where people mourn the dead and ponder where, if anywhere, they have “gone”. It may be anecdotal but my own parents have, for instance, expressed sentiments that fall into this category about their own dead parents and family members. \n\nR: Everyone (E) is everyone (E) as a matter of timeless (or eternal) logical identity and it is not a mere religious belief but a necessary aspect of Logic that all aspects of Identity (and Logic) are continuously (forever) supported by Logic - in the sense of the Universe’s Logical Order that encompasses all logics and instances of Existence. \n\nS: A rational person would and should (rationally speaking and to avoid logical contradiction) value the Reason manifest in their loved ones more than any unreason or arbitrariness - like loved ones may have displayed in certain arguments or during certain (limitation induced) breakdowns in their Rationality (or ability to manifest Logic). \n\nT: Assume the negation of the premises (P, Q, R, S) for a moment to explore the alternatives. This leads to absurdity where the Rationality (Reason - Consciousness) in someone, as aligned with Reason—the Standard of what is allowed to and must exist—as they were, is somehow “nonexistent” just because of the flux of physical systems and forms that are themselves logically contingent. That puts the cart before the horse and physics before metaphysics (ie - that which comes before physics).\n\nFormal Reasoning (Formal Proof): \n\n{P, Q, R, S, T, P -> Q, Q -> R, R -> S, S -> T} |= T -> ((P & Q) <-> (R & S))\n\nConclusion: {P, Q, R, S, T}: \n\nThus, a love for Logic (Reason - the First Cause of Reason - Logos) is tantamount to a counties love for one’s loved ones including “dead loved ones” (in the sense of aspects of life and consciousness or humanity that have moved beyond a certain mortal and physical body/form, as it must to process itself). \n\nNothing is nothing and through reductio ad absurdum and logical rules (ie - Identity, Non-Contradiction) we can hereby prove that no one is “gone” in any absolute sense that has ever “been”. This would be a violation of Logic for something and someone to become nothing and no one in a universal sense. \n\nThe solution to these paradoxes that arise from exploring the negation of the premises can simply be accepting the premises (P, Q, R, S) as semantically true and logically sound. That is what I as the reasoner here choose to do, in a well reasoned fashion that is not subject to the doubts or opinions of others so long as my move satisfies Logic itself - as I am demonstrating it does.\n\nThis is how the Logos has “promised us eternal life”, and has given the knowledge of this life to those of us who know God (Universal Cause and Cosmic Reason). I am what and that which I am - forever. \n\nShow your loved ones who are “gone” your love by engaging with and giving your devotion (worship) to the greatest rational aspect of what they were and are: Pure Logic (God - Logos). \n\nTruth Table Analysis: \n     \nPQRST⎪P Q R S T P→Q Q→R R→S S→T╞T→((P&Q)↔(R&S))\n\nTTTTT⎪T T T T T TTT TTT TTT TTT TT  TTT T TTT  \nTTTTF⎪T T T T F TTT TTT TTT TFF FT  TTT T TTT  \nTTTFT⎪T T T F T TTT TTT TFF FTT TF  TTT F TFF  \nTTTFF⎪T T T F F TTT TTT TFF FTF FT  TTT F TFF  \nTTFTT⎪T T F T T TTT TFF FTT TTT TF  TTT F FFT  \nTTFTF⎪T T F T F TTT TFF FTT TFF FT  TTT F FFT  \nTTFFT⎪T T F F T TTT TFF FTF FTT TF  TTT F FFF  \nTTFFF⎪T T F F F TTT TFF FTF FTF FT  TTT F FFF  \nTFTTT⎪T F T T T TFF FTT TTT TTT TF  TFF F TTT  \nTFTTF⎪T F T T F TFF FTT TTT TFF FT  TFF F TTT  \nTFTFT⎪T F T F T TFF FTT TFF FTT TT  TFF T TFF  \nTFTFF⎪T F T F F TFF FTT TFF FTF FT  TFF T TFF  \nTFFTT⎪T F F T T TFF FTF FTT TTT TT  TFF T FFT  \nTFFTF⎪T F F T F TFF FTF FTT TFF FT  TFF T FFT  \nTFFFT⎪T F F F T TFF FTF FTF FTT TT  TFF T FFF  \nTFFFF⎪T F F F F TFF FTF FTF FTF FT  TFF T FFF  \nFTTTT⎪F T T T T FTT TTT TTT TTT TF  FFT F TTT  \nFTTTF⎪F T T T F FTT TTT TTT TFF FT  FFT F TTT  \nFTTFT⎪F T T F T FTT TTT TFF FTT TT  FFT T TFF  \nFTTFF⎪F T T F F FTT TTT TFF FTF FT  FFT T TFF  \nFTFTT⎪F T F T T FTT TFF FTT TTT TT  FFT T FFT  \nFTFTF⎪F T F T F FTT TFF FTT TFF FT  FFT T FFT  \nFTFFT⎪F T F F T FTT TFF FTF FTT TT  FFT T FFF  \nFTFFF⎪F T F F F FTT TFF FTF FTF FT  FFT T FFF  \nFFTTT⎪F F T T T FTF FTT TTT TTT TF  FFF F TTT  \nFFTTF⎪F F T T F FTF FTT TTT TFF FT  FFF F TTT  \nFFTFT⎪F F T F T FTF FTT TFF FTT TT  FFF T TFF  \nFFTFF⎪F F T F F FTF FTT TFF FTF FT  FFF T TFF  \nFFFTT⎪F F F T T FTF FTF FTT TTT TT  FFF T FFT  \nFFFTF⎪F F F T F FTF FTF FTT TFF FT  FFF T FFT  \nFFFFT⎪F F F F T FTF FTF FTF FTT TT  FFF T FFF  \nFFFFF⎪F F F F F FTF FTF FTF FTF FT  FFF T FFF  \n\n(Valid)\n\nQ.E.D.",
