am I the only one who loves the idea of there being no afterlife?

Question

think about it. lets say you actually do make it to heaven, you have to spend eternity being good and not committing any sins at all! because just cause you got there that doesnt mean you'll stay there! but if you just die and not go anywhere then you can finally rest and not have to worry about sinning or the possibility of it!

so am I the only one who thinks no eternal life is actually better than heaven?

Answer 1

I don't want to exist forever, eventually that would be torture. Although the Christians claim we won't be conscious of time in the way that we are now, so the reward for being good is that God gives you the mind of a goldfish, I guess. I don't like that either. Although, I would like a few thousand years in the paradise of my choice.

Answer 2

Probably not. If I understood eternity with the Spirit that made all things the way you seem to I would agree with you. The eternity you describe is at best boring in the extreme. I am not sure just what you consider a sinful activity that you feel you would be miserable without but perhaps your definition of sin is a bit too broad. Also the concept that "just cause you got there that doesn't mean you'll stay there!" sounds like c--p to me.
Seems to me your understanding of God and heaven has been skewed by some rather judgmental and in my mind unsavory blasphemers who do God no service.

Answer 3

I'm not a huge fan of thinking about not existing. I mean, obviously, I won't care when it happens, but I'd rather just live life for the rest of forever. (As long as I could actually live life, ya know? Like be healthy enough to enjoy books, hockey, family, sports, etc.) But it certainly makes me appreciate life more than I would if I thought after I die I had an eternity still to live with my wife.

Answer 4

You're not the only one. I think eternal life ANYWHERE would be hell. I especially would NOT want to be stuck in 'heaven' with a sadistic, immoral, killer God and his busybody followers.

I didn't have a pre-life before I was born, and I didn't miss it. There's no reason to think I'd need an afterlife after I die.

Answer 5

I don't believe in an afterlife, either, and I'm at peace with it. It does, however, disappoint me that I won't be around to observe the world in the millennia to come.

There are so many questions about the future to which I will never learn the answers. I want to know - Will man finally live on Mars? Will there finally be a cure for cancer? Who will be the next Beethoven, or the next Shakespeare?

Answer 6

the place? In heaven, the place the plans for earth and human beings have been made, and the danger of loss of life via sin replaced into written into the script. An get away replaced into additionally planned, with the Son of God volunteering to probability His very own life to rescue any people keen to take part, that's why the Bible says the Messiah replaced into "slain from the commencing up of the international."

Answer 7

Not me. First, I've dealt with spirits and I remember past lives, so I know there is and afterlife. Second, I think the Summerland sounds pretty good. Third, I'm Pagan so we don't believe in sin and we think sex is a ritual of the Goddess.

But hey, you're free to think there won't be an afterlife.

Answer 8

I'm not sure if there is an afterlife or not.

But - I know that I don't have to believe in sin.

I've chosen not to believe in it.

If there is a heaven - I think it will just be a peaceful place. There will be no sin. Just like here - only everybody will love each other.

Answer 9

News Flash, There will be no sin in heaven and the only place you will ever find rest Will be in heaven and when you die you Will go somewhere , Your not going to disappear. I pray that you find this out before it's too late, in Jesus name.

Answer 10

I have no real feelings about the existence of an afterlife - it just is or isn't.

And I don't think we would retain human foibles in heaven, so "being good" wouldn't be a problem.
