Afterlife

Posted 04-03-2011 at 03:52 PM by Dynamithix
I've been wondering this for pretty much all my life; what happens when you die? Of course there is no possible way to know for completely sure what happens, but some people have had near-death experiences and have told what afterlife is like.

What do you think? What will happen? Is there heaven and hell? Is there anything at all?

I heard that some people who had experienced a near-death experience said that there is nothing after death and it's just emptiness. I myself believe that that could be just the effect of dying for a short period of time and then being revived/living again. (That sounds weird.) It's like you didn't get "there" yet.

Anyways, I don't really have a point of view on the subject, I usually just get sad if I think about death and afterlife, I don't want to know.

It could be so that afterlife is what you imagined it would be, if you truly believed there is indeed a heaven, you might form an image of what it would be like and then it would be in your afterlife. It's hard to understand these kind of things. Or maybe it's just me, hah.

Anyways, discuss.

I don't think half of you have to worry about being scared of Heaven because, and I am so very sorry, you will never attain it. I myself would be happy to rid myself of the lust that rips me apart, fetish I loathe myself for, want and hatred as well as the evil inside of me and the disgust I hold for people I don't like. If somehow I make it long enough with more good in me than bad I hope that God will grant me Heaven.

The thing is Abe619, by the way, I don't think people in Heaven want to go to Hell...I know what you mean but the argument you are trying to win is stupid in itself because no one in Heaven wants to leave. I do feel for the penitent in Hell though because from what I can tell you stay in...unless in Judgement day all souls, including those doomed to fire and brimstone, are judged equal, maybe then they can be atoned by their want for redemption.

If I thought Heaven existed then I wouldn't be busting my balls with education, work and gratification. No-one would because in Heaven everything you desire becomes "reality" so they would just live out their short years stuck in a Chapel praying like a fucker to attain a place in this fabled country club.

Unfortunately, this is not the case. We work to have a decent way of life, we get educated in hope to improve way of life and we do this because we don't want to waste our sliver in time in the hope that there is a higher plane of existence.

Not sure how it is that you can equate scientology, atheism and new age nonsense, nor accuse OddjobAbe of being one or all of them.

It's not the lust that rips you apart, but your unhealthy attitude towards it.

I'm not getting into a religious debate here. All I'm saying is that when I die, I want to be dead.

And the sooner the better.

Perhaps that's not fair of me BM but I feel Oddjob equated me to be some sort of fool disconnected with the World. I find comfort in the knowledge that I will go somewhere when I die, I think if I didn't, I wouldn't be able to go on in life...just, I would stop...this isn't the only reason why though. And I did used to go to Church almost every Sunday and pray but I didn't enjoy it, sermons are boring I find and there is no in between Catholicism/CofE and radicals/happy clappers. If there was, I'd go.

You want Heaven to exist because you're afraid of death. And don't try to deny that.

You say this not me, of course that's not the bloody reason why I believe in God. To me, there is always proof of his existence, from the creation to the little things to be thankful for like a ruff of the hair from the girl I like or finding 50p so I can treat myself to something.

Same reason I believe in God.
also @Ridg3: According to my religion, You don't have to "Pray all-day-long" to go to heaven, when you work you also gain karma, and when you have some fun that is not a sin like playing a video game or talking with friends, you gain karma, by keeping your body healthy you gain karma, by praying all day, you will still have the same amount of happiness in heaven, so why keep yourself from living life...?

If that was the case God would have created us to be machine-like, only doing our goal.

Sorry, what? A ruff of someone's hair (whatever that means) and finding 50p is proof that God exists? What the fucking fuck?

Just imagine that God didn't exist, okay? I'm sure you have an imagination*, so just imagine that he didn't. Are you saying that in this situation it would be impossible for a girl to ruff her hair or for you to find 50p? Really? So your proof is basically "God exists because the world is how it is", which is a traditional piece of evidence and also of absolute bullshit.

And if that's not what you're saying, then I fail to see how that is any sort of proof at all, bullshit or otherwise.



* Though since you believe in God, I suppose this is likely not the case.

How is playing video games or talking with friends sinful?

Enchilado, if you ever, saw me in person, you would understand that without a little help from God...no girl would ever want to run her hand through my hair/ talk to me/ like me. =)

And for me these things to prove him, when I doubt him (and this does happen I must admit...my faith is ever weakening unfortunately) I look around and say, what luck that we are all here, that I have friends, that I am happy without wealth. Then I can say that no accident nor...enormous explosion some billions of years ago, made this.

Anyway, I'm out of this argument now, I'm sure you will agree that neither of us is willing to bend in our arguments and it isn't in my interests to convert you or anything, all I can say is...good morning.

@nate: I said the exact opposite of that.

Did you realise that there is a "NOT" before "A SIN"?

Sorry, I was mentally phrasing it as meaning that you were saying "not a sin", then giving several examples of sins.

A comma after 'sin' would have helped. Eats, shoots and leaves.

@Scrabtrap: Faith is based on faith. Worrying about a logical argument isn't really a priority.
