There is no right or wrong, no one knows. I would go with nothing, but I can't be sure on it as I have never been dead!

Not by a long shot . You see that thing that allows you to breath, it's called a spirit. The movies aren't far off when they show you your spirit leaving your body when you are dead. Then it is joined by what I call the spiritual world. Like in another dimension. I know this for a fact because I am a very curious person who do not go to church because I had discovered that some people are afraid to question God about important issues like " why is there scientific evidence of dinosaurs? " After all no one can create dna. and the earth being created millions of years ago. I go to the God for answers myself and got proof that your spirit never dies. As for why the earth appeared to be millions of years old? God is a God of fate. He wants us to believe that He exist by fate. If the earth appears to be created thousands of years, right there will we know that He exists but He gave us freewill to believe or not to believe.

How did he give you the proof?

I wish it was Alanis Morissette as god! That would be good. But I think we are worm food!

I don't believe in God but I'd to believe there was something after death,it kinda gives you peace when you lose someone close.

That is one of the funniest posts I have ever read :joker:

Though I get the feeling you werent going for humour there...[/rquote] You are right to find this post funny. I really don't blame you. After all the misguidance in the church and about God, why should anyone believe anymore.

Well, ok.

I believe in many different things, so it hard for me to kinda explain.
But I'll try.

Basically, I believe in karma. What you put out, you get back in life and in the afterlife I guess also.
I also believe that there's a plan. A grand design. Whatever is supposed to happen does, all for us to become more aware of everything around us.
I believe that everyone gets the same amount of s*** in their lives, just some people's is spread out more over life, others is in parts of their lifes, and each persons s*** equals the next persons overall.
I also believe in an afterlife that it is like what we're living now.
And I also believe that in each of our lives, we hang around with the same groups of people, and it's just a learning experience until we become ultimitely wise and then I don't know after that lol.
Like levels. But, If we're lets say, a murderer in one life, the next life we'll be a toad or some form of lesser being to humble us so we can start again in the next life.
I guess it's a very Hindu kind of way of thinking but it's one that I've found myself.

But also, I understand completely that I'm probably wrong and that it could be anything, and it could be nothing.

And I also hope that I get to see all of my pets again, so I guess I hope that there is some kind of pet heaven up there somewhere.
Lol!.:bigsmile:

But basically I believe, just to be true to yourself, but also the best person you can be and you'll be grnd, whatever happens.

I have similar beliefs to what florence33 was saying in his post, but after he said that his post was not submitting because God does not want him to tell other people about what he found . I knew right then there, that everything he was said so far was to make a mockery of Christian beliefs .

It is she. I was disappointed that God did not want me to share this information with you but then I can understand. You have to find out how to hear God for yourself. That way it will show God that you really love Him. It took years for me to reach this place. I have to give up a lot of things I thought I like to do. Don't try to make me feel bad because it can never work. God is all I care about so that make your words painless. I do not feel the pain from being scorned because God is right there with me. It's like how water rolls off a duck's back. As for Christian beliefs, why don't the church address issues that is so plain for the world to see like, if we are the offspring of Adam and Eve, why are there different races? For all the years I am walking on this earth I haven't seen a White, turn Black or Asian. The Bible don't fall out of the sky you know. God gave man freewill and that includes the Bible. He will not intervene. If that was not truth, the suffering in the world would cease. We would have still have the twin towers in the States. So you can see why I don't go to church because people are afraid to question God and that leaves all of us in a bad place.

The logical side of me thinks there is nothing and thats it, but some experiences for me are unexplainable so the other part of me thinks there has to be something afterwards

We'll find out in about 60 years I suppose

Oh, I met this woman on the bus today and she gave me this sheet of paper with "Disturbing Swine Flu Revenge of the Legion of Garderene" or something like that on it.
Basically, it was a story form Matthew I think that told of a flock of sheep being invaded by a pack of wolves, but the sheep and the shepards didn't notice.
Then they pinched the sheeps asses and went away.
Then they came back and all the sheep were scared etc. and the wolves told them that basicaly they had krept up on them and marked them without notice. Therefore they belonged to the wolves. Theye were infected by the wolves and any medicine wouldn't help.

Anyways, to cut a very long and very boring story short, It basically, according to the old woman, predictied that the End Times were upon us. That the swine flu was the first wave of this. That the medicine for the swine flu wouldn't wrk. That all no-believers in god would perish, but that god would save those who believed in him if they stayed away from the vaccine. And the bible predicted it.

Now this is the kinda s*** that is ruining the world and making it a very bad place to live in.

Oh ya, she also rekoned that the EU were communists.

I'm not sure.

I hope we get reincarnated as another person. That would be wonderful.

But I'm don't know what makes me me, it could be some form of spirit energy that gets released from this body and goes back to where it came from.

Or there might be nothingness, no more me. And I think I'm ok with that.

Hope this made sense, I'm pretty tired.

[/rquote] I take it that you don't believe her so why is ruining the world? Her words had no meaning to you so it wouldn't take affect. You can not control what comes out of anyone's mouth. Life should have taught you that by now. It's if you choose to listen to it and pay attention to it, it could ruin you if its not truth. That's why I only listen to God.

What bugs me the most is that the people who says that God don't exists or there is no afterlife in God, are the ones who don't even try to find out if it is true. Why is that? Is it because you are afraid what you might find out? I know that you have heard it before. Hell fire and brimstone. Of course that's scary. You see God is a God of Love but He is also a God of Wrath. We all have good sides and bad sides. You have seen God's good side. He has being patience while we mere creatures ridicule Him, use His Name for our own gain, but you wouldn't want to experience His Wrath because nothing you can ever imagine can equal that. Does it sounds like I'm preaching? Maybe yes, but my self-pride has crept out the window ages ago,especially knowing the fate of mankind.

This is my last post. Whenever I have spiritual conversions about God that people might doubt, He will give me a vision to back it up. Last night, ( well this morning), I had a vision. That is like a picture with a few scenes. I was a teacher at a school and my daughter was attending the same school but she showed up late. She did not belong to my class but she came to me wanting to appear that she was with me the whole time when the bell rang. Then she wanted me to accompany her to her class, telling the teacher that she was me the whole time. The teacher said that she couldn't come in because it was too late. I remembered say" My daughter never listens, It's like she was born to find out things the hard way". I also remember the power and definite in those words that echoed back in my eyes as hopeless. My daughter represent the people who discovered that God really exists after He came and now wanted to be saved. My daughter's teacher is God saying that it's too late, and my words are my own word with understanding knowledge of the truth, some people are destine to find out the hard way. I came on this forum to have fun but when I see topics like this one, the God in me comes out. I don't want to turn this forum into a church. God has better ways for me to spread His Word when the time is right. It's been interesting reading your posts.:xyxwave:

come back as a porn star:joker:

Yeah there is definately life of some sort after we die. I do hope I live a long and healthy life and die in my sleep or die in my big old comfy chair by the fire when I am about 90 years old. Lol I will have 70 years left to leave. I always think I MIGHT live until im an eldely age because I have seen some people in their 80s/90s who look overweight and not overly healthy but unfortunately I cannot predict when I am going to die. Also in the past I have said stuff like "I wish I was never born" or "I want to die" when I was depressed or so angry. I hope I am forgiven for this because life is sacred and we should make the most of it. I will probably connect to the spiritual world after I die, go to the white light, look down on those who are still living. However I could be reincarnated into something else? Who knows? But there is still millions of years left until the world ends, well planet Earth. Eventhough I think mankind will destroy the planet before the sun does. This is because of religion. People should be left to what to believe in and learn to agree to disagree with people but the world is not as simple as that.

If there is reincarnation I want to come back as a 6 foot leggy burnette, that never has to diet, is born into money, but is kind hearted and educated! Is that too much to ask?

Yes. I bet if I was reincarnated I would have a completely different background like being brought up in India or something.

OK, I will settle for never having to diet!

Or I can imagine me coming back as an ant and living for like 2 seconds until a big foot is trampled on me. Infact I might of had this life before the one I am living now?

Nothing. We just rot.

Worms set up a dojo in your head and learn kung foo while you rot. That. Is. It.

If you get burned, you might be reincarnated as some charcole. Put you to some good use, hopscotch and sh**.

I would like to be buried NOT cremated when I die. There is new environmentally friendly wiccan coffins that are available at some places now so when you are buried in your wiccan coffin it eventually grows and turns into a tree!

Think of the children, man! Some poor kid in 200 years is gonna be climbing with his lil blonde hair flapping in the wind, trying to find purchase on the pesky trunk, and then your rotted face will be looking at him through the bark, making him fall to his doom.

:conf2:

Based upon your karmic life, as you sow, so shall you reap etc, most people will go to the astral realm and the numerous heavens and hells that are there.

Most old school Spiritual civilisations and groups even today believe in infinite heavens and infinite hells in the astral realms, well the lower astral realms to be precise.

Within this place (which could hold the place where suicide bombers get 40 virgins or so and goats and lambs and such - depending on which Muslim you talk to) you will leave out a period of time, before you work off whatever energy/karma you need to work off depending upon your life deeds and then maybe return back to earth, or a physical realm to work off more energy.

Yet above this, you also have the higher astral realms where people who lived far more pious, stoic, spiritual lives will retreat to. - beyond that, there is a region of higher mind, beyond that, the spiritual realms that include no mind.

The overall concept from all civilisations that practised these more pagan beliefs of life after death that included a lot of Shamanic/druidic practices is a life without mind and control of the mind can escape you from being reborn again because you have gone beyond the passage of the mind.

For instance, a lot of what Jesus said was due to the influence of past civilisations that the Jewish establishments/systems didn't like, supposedly was taught a lot from far eastern and middle eastern practices - which made up what was written in the new testament and why there is such a difference between the new and old testament. There also was still as strong pagan type belief system evident throughout the mediterranean at this point.

Of course we don't believe this anymore because we think we have all the answers. It may take wars, evasive surgery, painful therapy in hospitals and countless amounts of conversations about drugs, sex and relationships on TV and in our lives - but yeah, we have the answers, it's just having the answers is so time consuming because we're so clever now.

I just don't think about it.

Easier that way ;)

I read a very interesting theory in FOCUS Magazine earlier, saying if you die you will still be alive in a parrallel universe.
i cant remeber the exact wording but it was under scientific investimagation.
