Yes, we are. Thank goodness you see it that way too. It's not just the belief (i.e. I could not say for sure whether or not there is somewhere one goes after death because I've never been dead, as far as I know); it's the idea that humanity be kind to itself, that people's actions reflect their wish for a more peaceful society rather than interpretation of what they think their specific God wants them to do. Unfortunately, some people equate their beliefs with superiority, as evidenced above me a number of times. Thanks for a question that truly merits thought.

My perception is the only true reality, yours is entirely subjective since the moment I stop being able to sense you in any way you are basically non-existent to me; therefore, all that matters is me and whether or not I believe there is a supreme authority to which I should be penitent.
I choose to serve the Lord but it is entirely a personal choice, the universe has nothing to do with it.

that's a sturdy question. i do no longer carry on with any faith because of the fact I regard all of them as human creations, yet I do have self assurance in an afterlife. I asked myself, "Who could understand terrific approximately what happens once you die?" My answer grow to be, "people who've died." So i began out to study so-stated as close to death reviews. truly, those human beings have truly died for a jiffy and have come returned to existence subsequently of sought after medical kit or different skill. interior the USA of a on my own, approximately 5% of the inhabitants have experienced this in accordance to a Gallup poll. no matter in case you're Atheist, Christian, Muslim or something would not matter because of the fact all of them experience comparable issues whether of course there are adjustments because of the fact they have diverse lives. yet all of them experience a Being of Unconditional Love, a feeling of peace, and are sent returned to the present day existence because of the fact they have a objective that they could desire to fulfill. all of them study that we are all a factor of the different, and a factor of 'God'. God is merely a attractiveness that we supply for the useful own secret it extremely is Love. some call it Jesus, others call it Allah, and Atheists will in many situations merely call it a Being of Unconditional Love. As I mentioned, it makes no difference what you're once you die because of the fact each and every person get the comparable element interior the top. i've got not got self assurance in any 'holy e book' because of the fact I regard them as theories. although whilst thousands and thousands of human beings have died and are available returned to existence and that all of them say there is a few thing sturdy as quickly as we die, I even have some thing to watch for, and that i understand that it truly would not matter the way you reside your existence. there's no decide on the top. purely Love.

Please read my words carefully:
If you see footmark in the sand, you'll say that someone passed from here...
If you see a piece of dog sh*t on the ground, you'll say that a dog passed from here...
So what about the enormous universe, the sky, stars, planets, earth and all the beauty in it, doesn't it lead to that someone made it?!!!
Some people say that everything is created by itself after the big-bang... I won't ask you about what caused the big-bang, but I'll ask you a simple question:
If you take all the letters of the alphabet, multiples of them, and you threw them randomly on the floor. Do you expect (by a chance of one in infinity) to get a poem like shakespear's??!!
Can't you see how organized our universe is, the planets, the eco-system on earth, look even in your own body... Can you control your heart-beat? Can you control your breath while you're sleeping? Who stopped your eye-lashes from growing after reaching a certain length? Who told the baby turtles to move towards the sea and not to the earth after they come out of their eggs? Who taught the bird how to make nests?
My friend, think with your heart and brain. If you're still lost, think about the following:
Do you know how to play safe?
Non-believers' point:
If there's no God and you do all what you want in life, then nothing will happen to you after life. But if there was God and you were mistaken, then you'll blame yourself FOREVER...
Believer's point:
If there's God and I followed His commands in life, then I'll be in Heaven after life FOREVER. But if there was no God and we're mistaken, then nothing bad will happen to us after life...
Now you know how to play-safe, in case you're not convinced?

I can believe because God has given us this one chance to make a difference in this world, because the next one is permanent. It is known that this life is only temporary and the next one is the best one.
