"You mean, I cried all these tears, and endured all this pain just to become nothing?"--- A man's conversation with death.
"If death was really a place of no pain, no worries, no feeling, and nothingness, we'd all be commiting suicide one by one." --Novelist
"Death is such a jerk. Men work hard to achieve material things and in a blink of an eye, death takes it all away. Death is such a jerk!!!!"---Poet
"You don't really believe you will disappear. Do you?"---Philosopher
***I'm not here to try to sell you on my beliefs. My beliefs don't need advertisement. The truth sells itself. It's illogical, ignorant, and foolish to think you don't exist after your body dies. I cannot fahtom nothingness. I will always be here, if it be in body or spirit. The truth is you all will be here too. I can't make you stop thinking foolishly about life and squandering it on harmful sins. I can tell you this, though. The truth will set you free from a world of hurt. Accept it or leave it.

"I can't fathom it, so it's foolish."
The is the logical fallacy of argument from incredulity. Thanks for playing.

Well now, it seems to me you've answered your own question and already have your mind made up, now don't you?
Well, if you can pry yourself away from being narrow minded for a second, I think I can help you. Have you ever considered the fact that you can't fathom the nothingness that comes with death more evidence that this is true? Death is one of the few things you can not draw on parellels from other experiences for, and yet you would feel comfortable being able to already fathom an afterlife? That seems somewhat illogical to me, but hey, whatever gets you through the day I guess, right? And about your quotes, I do not believe in an afterlife, and I do struggle with suicide every day, but, I don't punch my own ticket because for now I'm alright with my life, and it beats the alternative of non-existence in my book.

Why even argue about it? People are going to form their opinion despite what all you preachers say. People are hard headed and closed minded. Also about 85% of the people on YA! has the intelligence of no higher than a 6th grader. Stop trying to prove everything because you believe this and they believe that. I'm out! Rack Him!

While you are right about the illogical nature of some of what you found quotes on, it doesn't make the idea of "sin" and an omnipotent creator being more logical. The truth is somewhere right down the middle without dualism.

of course you cant fathom the fact there is nothing after death because you have never been dead, and nobody that has died has came back to life to explain what happens. there is no way you can know what its like, so just accept the fact that you dont know what happens.

Just because you can't fathom something, does not make it ignorant or foolish. I'm not sure what will happen, but I am certainly open to ideas. (Except the idea where I get stuck in hell for eternity....that is the foolish idea in my mind.)

It must really suck to be so scared of nothing.
