A Question For The Atheists...?

Question

Being an Apostolic, we believe (By God's Word) that when one dies, the soul is either with God or hell. What I want to know is, what do you all believe happens when one dies. Thanx

Answer 1

Dear Friend,

What you say is completely true. There is an abundance of evidence to prove your point. The atheist has no valid argument. He invents, bluffs and overstrains his imagination - but is only capable of producing fallacies. This following link is one of the most provocative and truthful I have ever seen, and I have been a near-death researcher for many years. It puts the lie of atheism to rest: http://www.spiritlessons.com/

I find that atheists do not seem to have a factual basis for their absence of a belief in a Supreme Being. If you want to, you can give Christianity a chance, you can read on Christian near-deth experiences which is a scientific study growing in leaps and bounds.

Some atheists upon investigation of the facts concerning Jesus become Christians. One such case was Lee Strobel who wrote " The Case for a Creator" and " The Case for the Real Jesus."

Do not take a risk for the existence of a heaven and a Hell is very real, and having been warned, you do not want to go there. When you have surveyed the facts be at least intellectually honest and make a serious decision.

If you believe in Christ, you have nothing to lose: if you remain an atheist just think of the alternatives.

All the best in your search

Answer 2

I'm an atheist and I don't believe in a soul in the same sense as you probably do. This is likely our first point of departure.

But if there is anything like a soul, it's the mind. And though the mind is not literally the same thing as the physical matter of the brain, I know that the state of that organ influences the mind.

If death means the ceasing and eventual decomposition of that wonderful organ, the brain, then I think it's highly probable that the mind goes with it.

Answer 3

You go to the morgue, and then maybe a cemetery. That's pretty much it.
I think that when you die, there is nothing. You have no awareness of anything at all.
Have you ever been put under anesthesia for surgery? They give you the medicine, and then next thing you know, you wake up in the recovery room and you are actually surprised for a moment, because you didn't even realize that you had gone under, and that it's actually over?
Like that, but without the waking up in the recovery room part.

Answer 4

Well, I don't exactly believe in the soul the way Xtians do. I believe the soul is our life force, what makes us who we are. The soul does not leave the dying person's body and enter another plane but ceases to exist. And when we die, after our heartbeat and respiration have stopped, our bodies decompose.

Answer 5

The body decays. Souls are a concept that we have created to give us a sense of superiority over the other life forms on this earth. Animals have personalities like we do, but we tend not to argue about where their souls go, we just assume they don't have souls.

Answer 6

Absolutely nothing. Your heart stops, your brain function ceases, and that's it. You're fertilizer.
The concept of a soul, as I see it, is no different to the concept of god, satan, allah, etc.
It simply doesn't exist, at least not in the way that religion says it does. What 'soul' you have, dies with your body when you die.

Answer 7

You simply cease to exist. Regardless of what you may believe, no-one in all of human history has ever come up with a single valid reason to think that there is more to a human being than our physical body.

Answer 8

Well, your body shuts down either through from wearing out, disease, or an accident ... the chemical reactions in your brain cease ... and you just *die*. No soul, no afterlife, no continued consciousness. Just like it was before you were born.

Answer 9

Religion lies to us. None of what they say makes any sense, nor can anything they say can be proven.

Therefore what anyone says about the afterlife - can be true as well, therefore you can believe in anything, anything at all. And no one is any better than the rest...

Sadly religions use any number of 'brainwashing' techniques to make people believe in their religion.
Once you know that religion is always "preaching" to you, trying to convince you they are right, and no one else... everything becomes clear... that they cannot be trusted at all.

Answer 10

I'm not an atheist, I'm pagan, but I'll answer your question none the less. I believe that when you die, your soul, spirit, whatever you choose to call it, goes to the Summerland. There, it rests and reflects over what it learned in life. Then it prepares for and departs the Summerland to return to this world in a new reincarnate.
