For those of you that dont belive in Jesus...?

Question

Okay if you dont believe in Jesus Christ or anything that has to do with God, where do you think you will go when you die. Do you believe that your going to decay in your grave, do you believe that your going to go to heaven out of "good" behavior, or do you believe something like everyone's going to heaven. But if you dont believe in a "god" of somekind, how can you believe in an afterlife?

Answer 1

Newsflash... there are billions of people in this world that do not believe in the *divinity* of Jesus Christ, and are not Christian, and still believe in an afterlife. Just because you don't believe in the Christian God does not believe you don't believe in a deity.

I don't know what will happen when I die. I think that we go on in some way, though. I don't believe in any kind of eternal punishment, that's for sure.

Even when I was a Christian, I didn't believe in an eternal hell. It's ridiculous to say God loves you, then say He will burn you or allow you to burn forever for what you did in 70 measly years on earth.

Answer 2

You know, it's possible to believe in God and not believe in an afterlife. It's also possible not to believe in God and believe in an afterlife. There are religions with God and no afterlife, and there are also religions with an afterlife (or reincarnation) but no God. The two ideas don't necessarily have much to do with each other. Personally, I don't believe in God or an afterlife. Where I'm going after I die is nowhere. Remember how it was before you were born? That's what it's going to be like after you die. Just like that. Sounds kind of peaceful, doesn't it?

Answer 3

reincarnation or another planet that doesn't have christianity.

But if you don't believe in a "god" of some kind, how can you believe in an afterlife?

you can be spiritual without being christian. christianity does not have a monopoly on God Spirituality or anything else, there are other religions that were here long before christianity and not all of them focused on God, but that didn't make them bad religions, however over time people assume different is bad so they adopted a kill the weirdo mentality and that's why i only debate in a chat room safer that way. the only requirement is to better yourself.

Answer 4

i don't believe in an afterlife nor do I care to be buried. I will donate my body to science and the unused portion will be burned. So I don't have to continue to pollute the earth with my decay when I'm dead.

How can you be so certain there is an afterlife? What proof do you have to leave you so convinced? You don't. You just really want to think it because death is scary. Would lying to the world and saying I believe in something with no evidence make me feel better about death? I don't see how that helps.

Answer 5

I dont belive in an "afterlife" as such, I am certain my body will decompose and pass to be part of the earth again

my conciousness will probably be lost forever, so what?

I really dont care, I have enough to care for when I live to actually worry what will happen when I die

death doesnt scare me, even as an "end", the world, or well.. the universe will go on

I have no hopes for nothing after, and it is great and beautiful

Answer 6

I like Brianna's answer.

The fallacy of a belief in the afterlife is the presumption that time is linear. All reality is connected to all reality--- nothing is separate from the Whole. This applies to all points throughout infinite space and even time. What scientists and philosophers refer to as the spacetime continuum is a contiguous whole. It appears to our senses as a linear progression with no clear connection to either the past or the present, because our nervous system can only process discrete packets of input in the present.

So, "the afterlife" is a fallacious 'event in the future', because all life exists right now, forever.

Answer 7

They don't believe. When they die there is NOTHING.
That is what they believe.
It's sad to think someone would think of NOTHING as a good thing. It's hard to believe. But they believe after they die they go to the ground and life is over. I have heard junk like they live in their kids. They go into another body or are reborn which is dumb. Reincarnation is a lie and isn't true.

Answer 8

Well, first I have it on good authority that even people who DO believe in Jesus decay in the grave. (In any case, they don't get much better.)
Some of us do not believe in an afterlife. We have never been offered any evidence to support such beliefs.

Answer 9

Why do you have to do anything after you die?
When you die I guarantee you - you will be dead. Do you feel so important that you must be something after you die? I think humans are the lowest form of life on this planet and do not deserve anything after we die. Look at the way we have polluted and paved this planet and killed off forms of life that would still be here but for humans. God is not here or ever has been here.

Answer 10

hey, this really is a good question.. It made me think a minute. I think there was somebody named Jesus Christ and I hope he was/is the son of God, don't get me wrong. I think when we die, we just don't 'exist..' I am a desperate type of woman tho.. I need to believe in prayer (as I'm so desperate sometimes.) I think it is such a total 'cop out' when someone (usually stupid people..at least in this town..) says "I'm going to leave it in the hands of God." (that stinks.) I think the funeral concept's outrageous/ primitive. We believe because we NEED to believe, something to believe in and I sincerely hope when I die I get to see my (beloved) father.. I've never met anyone (2 husbands) a man that I loved as much as my father.. or that loved me. I adored him.
