What Happens when we Die??? is there a second world????

Answer 1

While it might be nice to think we'll see long dead relatives once again, or to think we'll live a life of eternal bliss...without evidence or one scintella of proof, it's just fanciful thinking.

Consider the following:

Fact: the human race has been around for hundreds of thousands of years.

Fact: the concepts of an afterlife, of gods, spirits, etc. have only been around for a few millenia.

Fact: these concepts were invented and promulgated by ignorant barbarians as an attempt to explain the world around them, before there was a such thing as science or epistemology.

Fact: most of the books of the bible were written by people who were never there, as second- or third-hand accounts decades or even centuries after the events they claim to tell about.

Fact: the books of the bible have been heavily edited over the centuries, with passages or even whole books being re-written or omitted to fit the theological and political climates of the time.

Fact: the books of the bible have also been subject to extensive errors, misinterpretations, and differences of opinion in interpretation as they are translated from one language to another and from that to yet another language.

Knowing all this, how can ANY religion be viewed as anything BUT the invention of men? I know this may not be what you want to hear, and I doubt I'll do much harm to your faith; faith is remarkably impervious to reason.

But we atheists are nothing like what the church leaders are fond of charicaturing us as. We are freethinking individuals who are able to see the Big Picture without the blinders of religion. We do not live in despair, quite the contrary; freethought is incredibly refreshing, liberating, and empowering. We are not nihilists, but lovers of life who see it as all the more precious because there's no eternal afterlife.

We do not need the bribe of heaven or the threat of hell to be good people, we believe in being good for its own sake. Through science and reason, we know more about the true nature of the world we live in than your religion could ever hope to offer.

Answer 2

Your body dies. "You" never die. The essence of who you are, the being, the soul then moves to a different plane. Yes there is a second world. The afterlife. Eternal life. This world has a beginning & an ending, but the afterworld is eternal. You will never die & you will be reunited with your beloved that have passed on before you. When your body goes to sleep in the earth, your soul awakens into a beautiful paradise, more perfect than any dream. Death is not the end. It is the beginning...

Answer 3

Uh it all really depends on what you believe.
According to some religions - we die and go to a place of eternal rest - a paradise.
Some people think that the body is dead and the soul lives on.
Some people believe in reincarnation - living on in a different life form.
Some people believe that death is the total end and there is nothing beyond.
Some people believe that the body dies and the soul remains on earth amonst the living and the only difference between the living and the dead is the needs of the human body.
It really depends on what you are talking about - or who for that matter. I could go on and on...

Answer 4

Depends on what you believe. Most religions believe in an afterlife. Christians believe in Heaven, Buddhists and Hindus believe in reincarnation if I remember correctly.

Personally, I'm a Christian, I believe I'm going to Heaven, and I don't think there's anything else. But there's a lot of people that don't believe the same.

Answer 5

Upon death, our spirits will go to a world of spirits. The righteous will go to Paradise and the unrighteous to a spirit prison. There, the righteous will teach and preach to the unrighteous until the day of resurrection and then judgment by Christ.

Those spirits not accorded the opportunity in mortality to learn of the Gospel of Jesus Christ will so learn it in the spirit world. They either will accept or reject the message. God's gift of free agency will reign there as it does in mortality.

Answer 6

The answer to that question has not been found yet,and maybe when the right answer is found we won't be on the earth and the world will become far more different than today.

Answer 7

i believe that the energy that is our soul is released from the confines of matter(the body) and becomes aware of all the other parallel dimensions that are all around us. we as humans cannot see these different realities/dimensions due to our limited eyesight. just like we only see a tiny portion of the light spectrum, we can only see a tiny portion of reality. once released from this body, i think my energy will join god until i decide if i want any other types of experiences. the ultimate goal is to have my energy merge back with god permanently

Answer 8

Many religions posit some sort of an existence after death, but there is not the slightest bit of evidence to suggest that that may be so. The reasoned conclusion is: when you're dead, you're done.

Answer 9

I believe death is just a transition. We pass from this life into another. What we choose to do with Christ in this world determines our next world.

Answer 10

I think, Don"t You Know, There is Already So Many Leaders Lining Behind Them, with Hitting Each Other, and Waiting for Their Death and Their "SEATS".
