Life after death.

Do you believe?

Published on March 15, 2005 By Sleeping Dragon In WinCustomize Talk

I don't want this to be a theological debate. I would prefer if it were kept very general and that we respect other's rights to their beliefs. That means no arguments. I am interested, though, in who believes in life after death. It doesn't have to be judaio Christianity. It can be reincarnation, ghosts, ...anything. Do you believe that there is something after our body passes on? You can just say "yes" or "no" or go into a bit of detail, but please stick to your own belief and don't criticize someone else's.

Do you believe?

Yes, I do believe but only after when we're judged on the second coming of Jesus. One more thing, I don't beleive in reincarnation because why our population is still growing, we only have one life and you have to live it to the fullest.

I agree with Jafo on this one. There is Death after Life.

I guess some (Marx) believe that a hope for an afterlife is what some use for a crutch to get through this life. Mine is no such belief, although I would rather have a crutch than to fall down. Just dead would be fine with me and very peaceful.

My belief in an afterlife is in direct relation with my faith in Jesus. If there is a God, and the bible is His book to us, than it only makes sense to believe it, given those two premises (which I know is the rub). And Jesus said "I go to prepare a place for you."

Not preaching here, just being more specific on why I believe in life after death.

Yes. Let me just say that I'm not overly religious or wierdly metaphysical or any other crap like that but my family calls me The Cat for a reason. I guess you could say I've had "soul(s)-on" training. If cats truly do have nine lives, I've only got six left (I'm on #4). So having "Been there, Done that" yada,yada,yada, and only being able to offer my opinion I would definately say yes. I'm not sure whether or not having been where I've been (I think I've racked up enough frequent flyer miles there), seen what I've seen and (or) felt what I've felt is good or bad, but it's definately changed the way I look at everything.

As StephanA noted, we are stardust. Stardust given self awareness. Where does the self awareness come from when we are born? Where does it go when we die? This is our spirit and like stardust, it also survives.

We exist only in the Giant's Dream. The rest is illusion.

On a more serious note (did I just see someone typing in pink up there?), I agree with the J-man. And if I happen to die and find out I'm not oblivious (unlikely), we'll take it from there.

Sure.. I mean.. This CAN'T be all can it? I think there is more to us then meets the eye. I mean, explain all the "paranormal" things that people see and feel. They can't ALL be hallucinations. As for reincarnation... I think it likely, but if it DOES occur, I think it's more of a spiritual progression thing. Making ourselves better, you know. Not in the form of punishment for some problem we cause or whatever. Yeah, there's more to us then meets the eye!

Again with the new icon, RPG? Looks good, though.

I have a sort of 50/50 belief.

On one hand, I believe in something greater and more compassionate than humans currently are, and perhaps can ever be - and I do call it God. I would love it if after death I go to a place that cradles me in a loving embrace. I believe love is the reason for our existence.

The other possibility to my mind, does not deny the first hand, but agrees with the analogy that goes like this; "Our energy comes from the universe, and when we die, our energy returns to the universe - similar to when you go to the ocean and scoop up some ocean water in your hand and say "this is mine", and then you eventually let the water drop, and it returns to the ocean".

I believe in doing your best in life and creating friendships so that you will be remembered fondly beyond your years. This at least would be a form of life after death.

I must say this has been quite a ride SD,glad to see yet another interesting thread by you.

Well afterlife can be seen from varius points of view.For me it does exist,it is a belief firm as the existance of God.It's God's promise to us all that one day he'll accept back to paradise his long lost children.

As for me,i belong to those okward people who like to think they live with ideals and moral beliefs.Based on this i pray to God to take me near Him before science or human in general provide solid facts of His in-existance.I wouldn't like to be around for the day that science manages to overcome logic and the limits of human nature.

To lighten-up just read Arkas,a great Greek cartoonist.He made a series called The Life After,that always makes me crack in laughter.

Like the following discussion between a dead one and an angel:
Dead:Heaven is nice,but i miss Earth that i left so soon. Tell me angel why did i have to die so young?
Angel:All good die young.
Dead:You really believe in this crap?
Angel:No,but when i'm being asked stupid questions what you'd expect to answer?
Dead:You could think of something more original.Aftel all i only said i didn't have to die so young.
Angel:Look man,the time of your death is like your big toe of your foot.
Dead:What do you mean?
Angel:It's not in your hand!

Gotta love this guy.

Some more Arkas:

Dead:Angel,when all dead resurrect what will it become to heaven?
Angel:Don't know,some say it'll be turned to parking place.Oh and don't wait that the dead will rise any soon now.Just yesterday they renew our contracts for another 2000 years.
Dead:2000 Years!That's darn long.
Angel:Well,i simply can't understand you humans.You lived your lives,what more do you want?You are the only species that asks for resurrection.
Dead:But we are only humans.
Angel:Exactly the most greedy species on Earth.
Dead:We ain't greedy sir,we just ask for a second chance.
Voice from the back:And a third one,and a third one!
Dead:Who's that?
Angel:Just Lazarus.
