The truth will set you free?

Question

I am not a religious person, but I take great comfort in the fact that I will always be part of this universe iin some form or another. No matter what you do to try and anhialate me I will always belong. Even if I became a million tiny particles of dust it is still part of me. When the earth exists no more and the whole planet just disintegrates my essence will be floating off somewhere into the vast universe. Every being that ever existed on this planet is still here in one form or another. I don't need a heaven or hell. I'm part of this huge cosmos and until nothing exists anymore I will always be part of it regardless what you might believe. Thats a rather comforting thought and death holds no fear for me. Religion has locked us into some sort of myth that there is something better after this, so when your playing your harp and sitting in front of some sycophantic god who needs your worship to boost gods already inflated ego, I will be floating off as some tiny particle.

Answer 1

Good for you that's a healthy perspective.

Answer 2

Good!
Well, I agree with your theory, you will always go on, and I am religious, but before I wasn't really, til I came across Scientology. Here is what it has to say about this:

"The basic principle of existence is survival and that is only true for the body.
A spirit cannot help but survive wether in heaven or in hell or on Earth...
That is the saddest thing to most people.
It is so sad that they very well like to forget.
If he thinks of this at all he ordinarily thinks: 'I am going to live a number of years and then I will go to my reward.
And I hope it wont be what I deserve".

L. Ron Hubbard (Founder of Scientology)
So we agree, you just cannot kill a spirit, the basic personality goes on to a different time and place. Life does go on.

Answer 3

Paul , u r a truth seeker.

Buddha says : God is a mental construct.
Thats the whole truth.
Besides Buddha found that the devil(death,disease) is in control of the world.
Becuz every where one creature is eating another creature.

Buddha says leave behind all beliefs that u have had before u can know the truth.

Answer 4

I applaud your way of thinking, but god does not need worshipping and who says heaven is full of people sitting playing harps, I certainly don't intend to be doing that, I am not scared of death and never have been I know that their is life after death, reincarnation the church denies this of course, but I believe the universe recycles us kind of like we recycle paper, it nice that you think what you think and that comforts you, but others believe what they believe and you can never change their mind. If God exists then you are passing judgement on him, who is to say he has in inflated ego, If God created us then he is a powerful force, I for one know my human brain cannot understand such a force, but have you ever thought God might not be an all powerful person, he my just be the entity (atoms, particles etc that created us).

Answer 5

the reality contraptions you loose from the different reality. for each thousand human beings, there are probable around 9 hundred and ninety diverse and unique bills approximately comparable circumstances. shade is a good occasion. there are particular colorations of crimson that a extensive form of human beings might call orange, and a few others might produce different names for. Is the colour orange, crimson, or 'separated ketchup'? all of them are authentic. it actually relies upon on the viewer. there is completely one reality, yet many approaches of offering it. Is the Gulf conflict a good difficulty? There are valid arguments around the board to instruct that the finished worldwide, in specific Iraq, will income from this conflict. various lives saved, so a lot greater made much less complicated. regardless of the undeniable fact that, for each benefit there's a draw back, additionally around the board. in my view, I carry the view that the conflict has destroyed worldwide economic device, ruined the allies' reputations, and devastated thousands and thousands of lives. the different of what I purely defined, yet no much less authentic. the reality totally relies upon on the eyes that see it. ((((hugs)))) ~Loving mild~

Answer 6

Have you thought though, that your components may be recycled through 1 or millions of other people before you get to float through space?

In which case, you could end up as a part of a future Pope. I hope you give him, or her, some serious nagging doubts.

Answer 7

You have really thought about it all. Well done. I'm happy for you that you are comforted with your believes. I believe in God and may be we will meet there one of heavens day when you are floating by.

Answer 8

yeah true. Everyone and everything has come from the universe and back.
Even tiny we are eternal.
We are the fraction from the totality.
There is no division at all.
If there is god, I should have come from him and there is no difference between him and me.
Our mind is the only obstacle to understand the truth.
Can people understand this and bring harmony?

Answer 9

It would save a lot of time if I just agreed with you and went on, but I do need to point out one minor thing. What if you're wrong?

Answer 10

Wow, deep! That's a great way to sum up human existence - well done, and thank you for posting this.

Answer 11

i totally agree.. nothing ever truly disappears. its all a cycle.

when you die all your particles will go into everything around you. although you wont still be "YOU", which kinda sucks but i can except that and move on..

people who believe in god ( actually i don't mean god.. i mean organized religion). cant.
