Religious people... Is there a way to not take part in an afterlife?

Question

No offense to any of your beliefs, but I don't want my spirit, soul, or any other part of me to exist after I'm dead. Eternity is too much to withstand being amoungst the same jerks that I've had to see while I was alive, let alone everyone's family before and since. I don't want to serve anything after I'm dead, I would like to simply not exist. On the flipside if I reject any kind of entity and get sent to a "hell" is there some kind of deicide or a way to kill whatever entity is there? Or myself for that matter? If you all already dead what kind of pain can you feel anyway?

Answer 1

Its a good question. And you would be surprised how many others ask this, though not necessarily on this forum.
Basics are needed.
Is there such a place as 'hell'. No. A loving God would not contemplate a permanent place where people are tortured.
Hell is simply man's grave. It will be done away with together with death. Revelation 20; 14 and 21;4.
Armageddon is very close, so if you are alive then and do not obey God, you will have no future. At all. What you seem to want.
If you die before then, you will be resurrected...Revelation 20; 12,13. Then you will be judged. Not on what you may have done but on whether you accept God's new System. Do not accept it and you will be done away with permanently, never to return. Again, what you seem to be asking for.
But you are basing your decision on the world and people being difficult, like now.
But God's new system will have no obnoxious people. So stick around. You may get to like it. Psalms 37; 9,11,29,34

Answer 2

I can only give you the christian answer. The answer is NO. Everybody lives their life and dies. The death rate on earth is 100%. Hebrews 9:27 says " And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment". Let me put it to you this way. Man does not really have eternal life. Only God has eternal life. Eternal life means He had no beginning and no end. Man sort of has everlasting existence. He has a beginning but has no end.
We're all going to die and then go into eternity. There God will determine where we are going to spend eternity. There are only 2 alternatives: 1)heaven 2)hell. Wherever you are placed. That's where you will be forever. There's no such thing as committing suicide in the afterlife and, trust me, you do feel pain in the afterlife(not in heaven but in hell).
My advice to you is to turn your life over to Christ and go to heaven. There will be no 'jerks' in heaven. God isn't going to allow anyone in heaven who will mess it up and 'jerks' have a way of doing that.

Answer 3

Thats a spiritualist error, there is no afterlife, only ressurections.

The ressurection of the just will inherit eternal life,

The ressurection of the unjust will be shown why they are lost, and will be finally destroyed in hellfire, where they will never have another ressurection.

But Jesus has born this punishment for you, so that you may have life, it was a hard thing for Him to do, please appreciate the love He has for you by giving you his life, God bless!

Answer 4

I'd consider going to hell a protest against a petulant God's crooked game.

Answer 5

you cant do that.. you have an afterlife and it's not up to you to decide.. it up to you whether you make good use of your life or you decide to throw it away and end up in hell or purgatory.. and i think in afterlife, all people are equal, that means there are no memories whatsoever.. and youll be happy anyways..

Answer 6

There is no spiritual suicide for a cop out, SORRY!
You are mistaken also, if you think that there is punishment only in the afterlife, you will find that God also punishes in this life. Watch out for it.

Answer 7

It sounds like you believe in an afterlife .... I am not sure if you can opt out. I guess you will eventually find out :)

Answer 8

No. Sorry, it's inevitable!
