Life after death?

Question

This is a very controversial question so keep it tame people!

With all due respect, I do not beleive in a heaven or a h**l. It seems a bit far-fetched dont you think? So what do I think is after death?

I know its not enlightening, but I think nothing. once were dead were dead. I really dont think were all that special. Is there a heaven for ants? because its not like we deserve a heaven more than them

To me, religion and "heaven/h**l" is a way to keep us 'whipped' so to speak. Thinking of h**l prevents people (sometimes) from commiting crimes, and a heaven makes the thought of death more tolerable, but Im not falling for it.

(No disrespect to any religions, just opinion)

So do you think im way off? whats your theory?

Answer 1

there is no such thing as an after life. and two, you shouldnt  have to say- no disrespect to any religion.

Answer 2

I guess until we die, we'll never REALLY know. However, some of us have personal experiences that whether other people believe them or not, have given us our own perspective.  I personally feel that there is more than this life.

One thing that needs to be considered is that everyone is entitled to their opinion. We would all get along better in this world if we at least honored that.  Stay open to your thoughts and perceptions, as well as at least hearing those of others. What your ultimate feelings are will at least be based on being open rather than close minded.

Answer 3

Your stance will not be popular, but it is largely correct.

Answer 4

I don't have a theory. I have only facts and they are these: I know for certain that God exists and that there is a place we all go to when we die that I have come to call The Other Side.  We all go there regardless of religious preference or lack of one. There is no religion in this place. God has no need of religion. He loves us all and welcomes us all to this place. I know these things because I have traveled there a number of times.

You can believe this or not... I don't care. One day, when you die you will find out the facts of this for yourself. I will end with this... you need never be afraid to die. The Other Side is beautiful, warm and loving and peaceful.

Answer 5

I also do not believe in heaven or h**l. I believe in a general afterlife... everyone goes there no matter what. No matter what your religion is or how "good" you were in life.

I do believe in a way that religion and the idea of heaven/h**l/afterlife is a way to make people feel better about death, be it their own death or that of a loved one. We all would like to think that we could 'live' forever. But that doesn't matter to me because I do believe in an afterlife and it's not for comfort purposes. It's what I believe. I believe it because in my mind you can't just go from this living, thinking, feeling being to nothing, all because you died. We are more than just the physical, there is a soul in all of us and that is one thing that I'm sure of.

I disagree with the part about religion keeping people 'whipped'.  If you're going to commit a crime or something of the sort, threat of h**l isn't going to stop people from committing that crime.

Answer 6

I agree. But why worry about what happens after you die? Worry about what happens before you die. What you do, what you did, and what it still yet to come. Enjoy life, not the thought of it.

Answer 7

You go girl! I'm not buying either, not because I have been told, but it's a fairy tale story. its about as possible as all those african tales of talking animals and how they came to be. Anansi the Spider is a good example. but those were for fun.... i  think?

Answer 8

...religion is man made to control mankind...

...unless we find a way WAR IS INEVITABLE...

...so all the best to all and their beliefs...

...thanks for asking...

Answer 9

you are rit..wen u die...ur dead...its like if u are in a deep sleep...wen we die..we DONT go to heaven...or h**l...cuz der is no such thing as h**l...God has promised (in the Bible) that for the people that do wats good...nd his will..will b resurrected in the future...in our same bodies as before...but in a perfcet state...and no..animals dont go to heaven

Answer 10

There is a collective whole, physically.  I'm afraid that's about it.

Answer 11

I think that people believe in life after death because the other possibility is impossible to imagine. Which would also explain why people believe in the equal absurdity of life before death.

Answer 12

i believe in death after life...........
