Do you believe in life after death?

Answer 1

Yes absolutely !

Spiritualism is the study of the spirit world and provides actual survival evidence instead of just a bunch of stories...

If you don't want to look into that..take a good hard look at nature..the 'intelligence' is very evident.

Answer 2

I believe life after death is the most powerful "meme" there is.

A meme is an idea that spreads and persists because the concept of that idea holds strong appeal for some human reason.

As a meme that has persisted since at least the times of early Egyptian civilization, it certainly presents a better alternative than death after life. However, wishing something to be true and it actually being true are 2 different things.

We have NO evidence of life after death. What we do have is the promise of it in many different religions. In the case of the western (Abrahamic) religions: Judaism, Christianity and Islam, the promise of life everlasting is conditional -- you have to meet the requirements mandated by those religions.

The problem is that these religions claim exclusive ownership of the truth and the path to God. I personally doubt that any of these religions is any more valid than the other but mathematically, and at best, the faithful of 2 of these 3 religions will find themselves turned away when they knock on heavens door.

But what if we completely remove religion from the question of life after death? The odds seem to increase to 50 - 50. Either it's real or it's not.

In reality, we've had at least 3 thousand years without a single bit of evidence for the notion, I have to believe that the odds of winning the lottery are better than the odds of finding oneself alive after death.

In as much as I don't buy lottery tickets because the purchase is a waste of money and hope, I'll also pass on the religion and the hope of life after death.

I'm getting to be an old man, but I'm not in the least bit worried about missing out on eternity. I'm just not that stupid or deluded.

Answer 3

Yes, I believe there is something after death, but I do not consider it as life. Because a human being is incomplete without the house of his spirit, which is his body.
I consider the death as a very long sleep. Till the resurrection.
I believe the spirit leaves the body after the death to go in Heaven for judgment. And there is no purgatory at all.
There is only Paradise, or hell.
Paradise is for angels, and hell is for demons.
If you are more like an angel, you will be in Paradise.
If you are more like a demon, you will be in hell.
Do you know why ? In the right world, daylight is daylight, love is love, and truth is truth.
But in the demonic world, night is daylight, hatred is love, and truth is lies. So the paradise for this kind of life is...hell.
God gave you the freedom to choose, so He cannot force you to choose living in the right world. Despite He wants you to choose the right world, so that you will be in Paradise after your death. But as long as a human being is alive, he can change his way, and choose to be with God. But it's better to make the good choice right now. Because nobody knows the day of the death, only God knows.

Answer 4

Yes I have seen spirits of those that have passed over and its not exclusively for humans, our pets are also able to come back after death, I have had experiences of my little red min poodle barking and appearing at night. So yes life exists after our death.

Answer 5

I'm not even sure about Life BEFORE Death. LOL

Answer 6

1. Belief in the hereafter is not based on blind faith?
Many people wonder as to how a person with a scientific and logical temperament, can lend any credence to the belief of life after death. People assume that anyone believing in the hereafter is doing so on the basis of blind belief.
My belief in the hereafter is based on a logical argument.
2. Hereafter a logical belief
There are more than a thousand verses in the Glorious Qur’an, containing scientific facts (refer my book "Qur’an and Modern Science-Compatible or Incompatible?"). Many facts mentioned in the Qur’an have been discovered in the last few centuries. But science has not advanced to a level where it can confirm every statement of the Qur’an.
Suppose 80% of all that is mentioned in the Qur’an has been proved 100% correct. About the remaining 20%, science makes no categorical statement, since it has not advanced to a level, where it can either prove or disprove these statements. With the limited knowledge that we have, we cannot say for sure whether even a single percentage or a single verse of the Qur’an from this 20% portion is wrong. Thus when 80% of the Qur’an is 100% correct and the remaining 20% is not disproved, logic says that even the 20% portion is correct. The existence of the hereafter, which is mentioned in the Qur’an, falls in the 20% ambiguous portion which my logic says is correct.
3. Concept of peace and human values is useless without the concept of hereafter
Is robbing a good or an evil act? A normal balanced person would say it is evil. How would a person who does not believe in the hereafter convince a powerful and influential criminal that robbing is evil?
Suppose I am the most powerful and influential criminal in the world. At the same time I am an Intelligent and a logical person. I say that robbing is good because it helps me lead a luxurious life. Thus robbing is good for me.
If anybody can put forward a single logical argument as to why it is evil for me, I will stop immediately. People usually put forward the following arguments:
a. The person who is robbed will face difficulties
Some may say that the person who is robbed will face difficulties. I certainly agree that it is bad for the person who is robbed. But it is good for me. If I rob a thousand dollars, I can enjoy a good meal at a 5 star restaurant.
b. Someone may rob you
Some people argue that someday I may be robbed. No one can rob me because I am a very powerful criminal and I have hundreds of bodyguards. I can rob anybody but nobody can rob me. Robbing may be a risky profession for a common man but not for an influential person like me.
c. The police may arrest you
Some may say, if you rob, you can be arrested by the police. The police cannot arrest me because I have the police on my payroll. I have the ministers on my payroll. I agree that if a common man robs, he will be arrested and it will be bad for him, but I am an extraordinarily influential and powerful criminal.
Give me one logical reason why it is bad for me and I will stop robbing.
d. Its easy money
Some may say its easy money and not hard-earned money. I agree completely that it is easy money, and that is one of the main reasons why I rob. If a person has the option of earning money the easy as well as the hard way, any logical person would choose the easy way.
e. It is against humanity
Some may say it is against humanity and that a person should care for other human beings. I counter argue by asking as to who wrote this law called ‘humanity’ and why should I follow it?
This law may be good for the emotional and sentimental people but I am a logical person and I see no benefit in caring for other human beings.
f. It is a selfish act
Some may say that robbing is being selfish. It is true that robbing is a selfish act; but then why should I not be selfish? It helps me enjoy life.
1. No logical reason for robbing being an evil act
Hence all arguments that attempt to prove that robbing is an evil act are futile. These arguments may satisfy a common man but not a powerful and influential criminal like me. None of the arguments can be defended on the strength of reason and logic. It is no surprise that there are so many criminals in this world.
Similarly raping, cheating etc. can be justified as good for a person like me and there is no logical argument that can convince me that these things are bad.

Answer 7

Yes. The Messengers of God taught that there will be life after death.

Answer 8

Yes I do. Jesus told us in the Bible that the Father knew us before we were born. We were spirit before we were born and we will return to spirit after death.

Answer 9

Yes but it is not life as some expect. There will be no more life to your body flesh but your spirit b e awaken by God at the time of judgement and there you will go to your exact destiny whether in hell or in heaven.

Answer 10

Absolutely! Jesus provided for that at Calvary. I agree with Paul. If the only hope I have is for this life I would be completely miserable.
