The afterlife, what do you think?

Question

Im not afraid of dying and as a Christian, I believe firmly that there just has to be something else beyond this life. I'd like to know (seriously) what you all think about that......

Answer 1

I am a Christian and I follow Jesus and so I am confident I will be going up, with my Lord...

Answer 2

Imagine how crowded the spirit world must be especially with all of the dead animals wandering around.How would you like to come back as a deer in the north woods? For some people the afterlife could be like heaven and for others their hell. I think there's probably a spiritual presence or energy that leaves the body after death. Just who's waiting for us is also curious. Most likely a formerly passed on friend or relative.Maybe people will see what they want to see when they're dying, like a hallucination.

Answer 3

no. sorry. but you wont be there to care about it. think of it as a really long blink.


just kidding.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Anyway for scientists the afterlife is a really big computer the size of a galaxy that can ressurect us all randomly. it can ressurect every thought gene or behavior. so it ultimately ressurects us and anyone we could have been. truly science heaven.

the religious thing is somewhat simmilar except with a lot of magic and stuff....

but i believe that we are basically little whisps of E_M (souls) that temporarily received a physical body.

It doesnt matter where we go afterwards if at all. it doesnt matter where we were before. because once we have moved on there is no going back.

the bodies left behind are husks, like wood, rock or metal.

like your pc.

an object.

Its what you do with your muscle fibers, your brain, your lungs, your liver, and your heart what counts.

you have an assignment that you have to think up for yourselves. no one has the right to tell you what this assignment is.

my mother has undertaken the task to rear me and my brother up. my father has protected us. i think these are the best assignments but you can choose one for youself

policemen and doctors have chosen to keep the souls in the bodies of some people for a little while longer so they can do something with their lives. so they can complete their duty.


so dont ask yourself this "The afterlife, what do you think? "


Ask yourself instead what is my task and how can I complete it before I am whisked away from my loved ones. before I am whisked away from life, pain, love?

Answer 4

I'm also not afraid of dying.

I believe in Heaven and Hell. ( oh and also judgement day) I believe that if u aren't a Born-again christian u wont go to heaven.

Here is a description of heaven:

Also,
John14:2-3
2 In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. 3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.


Here is a little about hell:

Answer 5

Well since you ask...

I sincerely believe that death is the end of consciousness, and when I die I'll go 6 feet underground and become food for worms.

I also sincerely believe that notions of the afterlife are creations of the human mind, fueled by our natural survival drive, for the purpose of self-comfort. The self-comfort is to get around 1) inability/refusal to comprehend the "end" of consciousness, 2) our natural fear of death, and provides 3) a good feeling that people we don't like will be punished and the people we do like will be rewarded or still with us.

If any part of me "lives on", it will be through the work and other accomplishments I leave behind, and the people I touched in some way.

Answer 6

there is no AFTERLIFE THATS A STORY probogated by christendom & other false religions, there is going to be a ressurection of the dead who are alive in God's memory (Ecclesiastes 3:18-21) 18 I, even I, have said in my heart with regard to the sons of mankind that the [true] God is going to select them, that they may see that they themselves are beasts. 19 For there is an eventuality as respects the sons of mankind and an eventuality as respects the beast, and they have the same eventuality. As the one dies, so the other dies; and they all have but one spirit, so that there is no superiority of the man over the beast, for everything is vanity. 20 All are going to one place. They have all come to be from the dust, and they are all returning to the dust. 21 Who is there knowing the spirit of the sons of mankind, whether it is ascending upward; and the spirit of the beast, whether it is descending downward to the earth?. . .

(Ecclesiastes 9:5) 5 For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all, neither do they anymore have wages, because the remembrance of them has been forgotten.

Answer 7

I think some part of us continues to exist after our earthly body dies. I think that no human can comprehend what this life might be like. I think that all the current religious "views" regarding this life are necessarily flawed by the finite perception of humans. I think God told us our next life would be sweet if we followed his instructions for reaching his kingdom.

Answer 8

I really look forward to being with Jesus. God has been good to me here on earth, but my home is in heaven. I can't wait to see the children I have lost, my family members also. If Jesus said that He is going to prepare a place for us and coming back, I believe Him. He is just too good to just let it end after death.

Answer 9

I am Christian also, and as a follower of the Lord Christ I believe that I will be going to heaven

Answer 10

Reincarnation sounds like a hot ticket. I'm currently in a phase where a lot of my music, movies, & books seem to relate to it in some way. That's not to say I believe in it just yet, but it's very fascinating to think about.
