Do you believe in the afterlife?

[Annella]

Its funny because when QON said we are kidding ourselves falconer had no problem with how 100% sure she was that we were wrong

The beliefs are based around the realms of mythology. Hers are not. Heaven and hell are very old concepts that are seen throughout other tales within religions (both active and dead). Do I need to go further into this? Considering every other possibility that could be after this life, the christian viewpoint is one in an infinite amount-- and even then, they can't even agree on what that is most of the time. Her answer is within the same statistic, though it's obviously more realistic to any rational person than an old superstitious myth.

QON doesnt have to prove her belief, yet you are immediately prompted to prove yours

One goes into non-existence --such as what we were before we were conscious of anything-- and therefore cannot really be proven. It's just a grounded rational answer. But a religious doctrine is usually full of people coming back from the dead and talking to the main characters such as in the bible. Surely this could be demonstratable in some respect considering the interaction and preaching of the followers, but it's not.

Same old same old........

Yup!

Yes, I do believe in an afterlife.  I have no clue what it will look like though, what it will be.   I simply trust that whatever it is like, that God will take care of me.

Yes I believe in an afterlife. It's hard not to when you're me.

The afterlife is a definite truth. The Bible declares that "it is appointed unto men once to die, and after this, the judgment." Hebrews 9:27

I agree.   "The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished."  (2 Peter 2:9 );
 "For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them."  (2 Peter 2:21)   

The way around all of the "nonproof"?  Faith (trust in something you cannot see or touch):  You can, however, touch God's Word and receive answers to questions and also draw closer to Him.

I don't know if I believe in the afterlife. I know I wouldn't want to have to live on in some weird state forever.... sure, I'd love to live on earth longer, but not in an "afterlife." I mean, even if there is an afterlife, with all of our technology, how do we have no proof, not one little shred of proof? Until I see evidence of a heaven or hell or purgatory, I'd say I'm a skeptic. There may be, there may not be!

I think we are reborn as someone/ something else. Or maybe people who die form their own towns and cities just like ours on a different plane of reality than ours

There could be an afterlife. But I can't answer that one way or another. I believe that anything is possible though. I just don't think that what I was taught growing up, when it comes to christianity, makes any sense at all. Sounds.... this may seem harsh.... INSANE.

So, I could go on to be what I was before I was born, I could turn into a talking mushroom, or burn in a lake of fire, or go to a heavenly city in the clouds (depending on if I was saved and/or met the standards of the god of that city).... Maybe we're all apart of a reality tv show to the aliens and when we all die, we get recycled by the aliens so they can put us back to work. For the lulz, you know, on the reality show.

If so how do you think it will be? There are lot of questions about the quality of life there

Light & darkness will be separated at the end. Light will be eternally in Heaven
as darkness will be eternally in hell.
the quality of life? there will be none in the darkness
quality will be in the light

Do you like walking blindly with no light at all, perhaps a fire to issue a little light here in there?

Hmm! Seems like a cool idea. I like it.

Ha! Yeah. And you know what's really funny? This idea is just as legitimate as every religion's idea of an afterlife.

Weirdo.

See?  Name-calling.  You are still doing what I said you would do!!  Please stop the sarcasm - she is responding on topic. Good grief......

Oh, and I guess I forgot that we COULD go on to a paradise with 72 virgins.... not sure if that's a heavenly kind of place or not, but hey, it could happen, right?

If you're a virgin, and you go to a paradise with 72 virgins... what are you gonna do?  Honestly, I've always wondered this.

Before electricity, wasn't fire the way people had light in the evenings?  You know, candlelight?  So the eternal darkness thing doesn't make much sense to me...

I'm not trying to be hateful or sarcastic here; just honest.
