Life after death?

Question

I was just woundering about peoples views on life after death.I know this can be a bit of a touchy subject for some but still,please say what you think.
i think it would be very nice to know for sure if there is such a thing but in my personal opinion i think its not true.I believe that once you die your dead and you simply rot into the ground to help the growth of new plants in a cycle thats being going on for millions of years.You cant remember anything before you are born so why would you remember something when you are dead???There has been so many wars and so much death,and destruction over the idea of life after death.People willing to die,kill and commit such evil acts for something thatno-one can say definaely exists!!.but of course at the same time no-one can say it deffinatly does not.
So whats your opinions??.....
is life after death something that was simply made up by us humans to try to explain something that has no answer and to console people of the unknown?

Answer 1

we die, end of story.

Answer 2

I don't accept the Christian "afterlife" concept, that there is a heaven or hell waiting for us . I think, like you, these concepts have been used by men to control people with fear and justify destructive acts.
But it was "modern psychology" in the late19th century, coming out of Germany that started promoting the idea that man was just a one lifetime animal. And this was to assist
Kaiser Wilhelm in his war mongering at the time, since it conveniently removed any reason for guilt or conscience from his troops in killing their fellow man for purely ecomomic conquest.
This effectively wiped out thousands of years of previous religious and spiritual philosophy in the Western world.
The idea that man was a spiritual being had been around
for more than 10,000 years before this. Eastern thought, Hindu and later Buddhism , the Ancient Egyptians, the Ancient Greek Philosophers all knew that man was not a one lifetime animal. This is a very recent idea in the Western World and now conveniently used to control people.
Communist Russia for example and now China were and are determined to erase this concept by suppressing and removing religions of ANY kind.

So while it is true that many people have no memory of , or
"forget" that they have lived previous lives, this is not a valid reason to invalidate our spiritual nature, since some of us forget what we had for breakfast this morning !

My knowledge , rather than my opinion , is that we have lived many lives before this one and that there will be future lives.

Answer 4

I have also died and fainted and know the difference in both. When I fainted, which I have done several times in my life, I ceased to exist, did not dream, had no experience until I awoke. When I actually died, I experienced something totally different than the writer who overdosed. I did see my body laying there and the person standing over me, grieving, calling me to wake up. God gave me a message that is very personal to me. Also note that when a person dies, they defecate on themselves, and lips turned blue, which happened.

Answer 5

It's a lovely idea and readily accepted by those who just cannot face reality.
The last part of your question provides the answer. The after-life was simply an invention.
It would be very comforting to know that it was true - but it ain't and no amount of wanting it to be true will make it so.

Answer 6

I would like to tell my opinion, rather what I cannot say is false.

As I grew, I felt lazy to go to church, boring to read bible, slept while I prayed. Only in trouble, I used to cry to God. And God answered me, but I dint realise because as life kept moving, I thought there are ups and downs. But recently I was punished by God, I felt so bad that God dint answer me. I did the same sin again, and again I was punished. Then again I cried to God. Then God answered me.

I've written here how God changed my life,

It is true that only when you have a personal touch from God, you can truly understand.

So since God says, ask and you will receive. Why not?

Answer 7

you are correct, the myth about afterlife is the carrot, produced to induce religious people to adhere to their form of superstitious religion, even when it starts to look absurd, in fear of losing that intangible promise of afterlife.
but why describe the dis-corporation of our bodies as rot, you could describe it as a recycling process, where Biomass is returned to it's basic state, that of Star dust, and might become a part of a living tissue again, in an never ending story.
