life after death Options

[faithin_felix]

do you believe in life after death?

[*Kathleen*]

I'm sorry, but that reminds me of that Cher song, even though it's, "Do you believe in life after love?" Haha.

Okay, yeah, I believe in reincarnation.

[tkproduce]

It's nice to believe that you get something after death. I'd like to believe that I'd be able to meet again the ones I've lost.

[RiddleMeWonders]

Well Yes.

I was in Sunday School the other day, and I've always thought of it this way, so it surprised me when this guy thought of it like that too. He was like "I was arguing with this girl, and she was telling me some stuff and making some very good points about why she shouldn't believe in God like, "All those people starving, if there was a god, they wouldnt let that happen" and I told her, I sat right there next to her, and I said, Flow, You may be well right. Say you are right. When we die, there is nothing, no burning flames, no purgatory, no heaven, and when we die, That's it. We're done.. But If I'm right, and there is a God.... Where does that leave you? It's my insurance"

[rivendell]

Believing that once you die you have some place to go is rather comforting. It makes death seem less final and more of a transition. I'd like to believe there's something to look forward to after I die.

Wouldn't it be nice if it was like that scene about heaven in Monty Python's the Meaning of Life? It's always Christmas ... floor shows nightly ...

I believe in reincarnation. You know that energy doesn't like die off?? Energy is preserved, so when you die the energy is still around on earth again, and then yeah... Heh, I dunno, but you can thank my mom's side of the family for my belief in superstitions such as that... According to my calculations (kinda weird)n I'm on my 2nd life? err, i'm not weird, k? KaY!

[iheartsimba]

yes.

i may not have a scientific exlpaination.

but it's just what i think will happen...

I think this life is just the beginning,

that we won't just be "done"

when people stop seeing us

2nd life eh? awesome...


i think when we die, we are still floating around in some dimension not earth, earth was created as the 3D dimension where us, mortals, humans exist. where we try to find the end of the universe, but our life was created so that we would never get out of the third dimension. we will be living as spirits without our bodies, and our bodies will be just left in the 3D world.

of course, some of you people may heard of the chinese myth, where when we die, there is a gate with a old lady, she will ask us to drink this bowl of herbal tea and we will forget about everything and then live in our next life. But some rumor/news said some people still remember what they were last life, this article said this child whose life before was a pig, and now he still has a pig hand because he didn't reborn well enough.

Yeah.. I'd like to think that... oh! it reminds me of this book I read, either "The Bridge Across Forever" or "One", both by Richard Bach, but i cant remember which one had it, anyways, the main character was investigating astral projection, and (supposedly Bach is writing about his own experiences) and he is able, in his sleep to project himself from his body, like he could see his body laying there, attached with a golden chord, and he could fly anywhere.. but when he collded with someone, he'd be instantly jerked back into his body and wake up.. and he theorized that when we die, all that simply happens is that we float out of our bodies like in astral projection, except that its permanent, and the chord is cut.. now i'm not sure how much, if any of that, is true, but i'd sure like to think it is

[AmesBond]

I beleive there's a heaven (whether there's a God or not, you believe what you want), and then everyone's just realxing and having fun all peaceful and stuff, and if you want to be reincarnated, there's this big Slide-o'-Reincarnation and you slip back into the world if you want. I suppose there is a "hell," but that's so dreary to think about.

Tea? I thought it was porridge?

Never mind, I think different cultures have a different explaination for it...

[*CJ1*]

I belive in being saved when Christ returns and going to have eternal life and going to the Holy City.

I don't believe in resurrection.

"Life is short. Live it up."
--Nikita Khrushchev

Sound advice.

"Khrushchev looks like a giant teddy bear."
--One of my classmates

Equally sound observation.

herbal tea, if your cantonese, it is "fu cha"

but it is not porridge, it could be "jok" congee. but not porridge for sure.

Back to the topic.. my question is... how is this a debate? it seems to me just posting our own separate beliefs..

[Spirited Away]

How are we off topic? We're discussing whether or not its tea or porridge that we consume when passing to the other side.. We're very on topic.

I don't really care much for the afterlife... if it's there then 'wooo hooo', if not then oh well. I lived, I can't complain.

well... i meant offtopic as in debating i guess.. i dont know.. this doesnt seem like a very viable debate

[Spirited Away]

I guess, it does seem that the question is whether or not we believe in an afterlife.

[IIO__oII]

its either heaven or hell...
if ure a christian, its heaven--paridise
if ure a nonchristian, it hell-- cant even explain how HORRIBLE it is

[EmeraldKnight]

Ok, that is your opinion, your beliefs, there is no evidence behind it, just religious indoctrination

But hey, at least you gave us something to debate about

[Spirited Away]

Woopee! By your standard, I'll be going to hell along with the other major world's population!

I'll see you there heathens!

[huihead]
