I don't think so. Don't think anybody or anything does.
Life isn't a dress rehearsal for anything,
There's simply no evidence whatsoever for "eternal life."
Thank GOD. Would you really want to spend endless trillions of years bulls*hitting with your parents, Mother Theresa and Archbishop Burgerking, toting a harp and walking around on clouds and what not? What would we do there? Be able to eat all the ice Cream we want without getting fat? Have sex with anybody we want? The whole afterlife thing is a human construct designed to frighten people that can lose their fear of death, but no one - if he or she believes in it - can lose a fear of "eternal damnation," nor stop dreaming of eternal bliss, and being talked out of their time and money to ensure they are one of the ones that get to experience the latter.
But tell me, what the hell could heaven hold that would be fun forever? Think about it.
Me, I could never believe in a god (nor the teachings offered - usually at a price - in his name) that would torture us for all eternity for being bad in the short time we have in this life, after knowingly making us bad in the first place. And the bible clearly states this as the case. "God knows everything that was, is, ever will be," etc.
Dead things look pretty dead to me. If I were inclined to pray for anything, it's an eternity of black, dreamless sleep. The kind we came from. Do you remember anything that happened before you were born?
Life hurts as much as it is joyful. I believe we have a lifeforce, and we live on, in one form or another - as fertilizer for a tree, for instance - and maybe even come back again as intelligent life forms. But as a mass of reconstructed atoms with no memory of their previous function or functions. Anything else is truly terrifying, and there is too much beauty in the world to allow me to believe in the sort of unfathomable, unjustifiable cruelty that is the true cornerstone of Christianity.
They just cooked it up to keep you in line and get your dough, folks.
Your god was created in man's image. Mine is an it. An undefinable intelligence that thankfully we will NEVER be able to comprehend, and not the cruel bastard with an adding machine that you are scared shitless of.
Good, "God Fearing" folks need to think on the implications of that phrase, I think.

If Adam's existence first commenced at the state of being "made from dust" it makes sense to me that all creation, no matter at what stage, is spirit and belongs to God. From its inception, the fetus is a soul, and all souls belong to God.
The Catholic church teaches infant baptism and generally, babies have always been baptized (to keep their souls safe from hell) as soon as possible after their birth. I used to believe this when I was RC and did not read the bible for myself.
I believe these innocents are protected and go instantly to be with God. I believe there is an age of accountability, at which time a child clearly knows the difference between right and wrong. God's word says: First there is death, and then the judgement. There is nothing Father God would find to judge with an innocent.

Yeah, they never broke a law of God so they'll be able to come back to this earth and into the cycle of life. The unborn kids will get a chance to be born in the next life or the one after that one, etc.

From the moment of conception, that child has a soul, and until a human reaches the age of knowledge they belong to god. That aborted baby will go back to god, and be loved. Since the parents for some reason felt they couldnt just adopt to a loving family.

The question is seem to contradict itself, 'Fait doesn't matter'? actually Faith is everything that is to answer to the question you asked my friend. everyone has their faiths,beliefs, and they all teach things in a different perspective. And as for my faith, the soul enters the fetus in 4 months. After that, if the Fetus is aborted, you have killed a person and he will be resurrected, and on Judgement day will question his mother why she did so!.

People. Enter the 21st century. There is no ressurrection, no reincarnation, no ghosts or goblins, no nada. We die. Finito. The end. Over. Done. Get it? Sorry to have to report this, but someone has to.

The Bible is actually vague in when one becomes a person, it is said when the breath of life is put in them.

Of course, why wouldn't they be anymore than a baby that died at birth of a miscarriage at ten weeks. We all have that chance to return and perfect our karmic lives.

I think a soul has not yet entered the fetus, so that soul will be assigned to another body and will live there.
