Do You Believe In The Afterlife?
 

do you believe that we go somewhere after death or do you think when we die thats it?

of course we would all like to believe that it just doesnt end there, but is that what you truly believe?

Afterlife.

One of my sites is actually a paranormal site, lol.

the afterlife is running out of room, given the trillions of dead people over the past 10,000 years. I think i'll pass, too much BO.

I'm to smart to believe in such things.

so, you believe that when you die thats it?




















.

Yes, once you are brain dead for a few hours that's it.

But not smart enough for, "too".

Best thing to do is donate to my cure for diseases contest and maybe we will all live forever.

too is a replacement for also. I don't see how it's grammatically correct to use it in that sentence.

Too smart

I see, I forgot the second usage. An abundance of something.

No I do not believe in an after life and I also do not think there is an after life.

I am a non believer.


When you die that is it. Game over.

I'm surprised with all the non-believers, especially with the evidence pointing to the contrary.

i believe...

Nobody despises religion more than I do, but in all honesty, no one can know for sure what happens when you die. Lifeforce is energy and energy doesn't disappear. In spite of all our advances in science, very little is really known about the brain. In order to claim that the mind is a manifestation of the brain, they need to be able to show that all the properties of the mind have a direct biological brain correlate. We are very far from answering that question. Dualism today is not as popular as materialism, but that doesn't mean it isn't true.

There is evidence that plants can feel fear, but plants have no brains, so what is the source of the fear, if it really is fear? There are far too many unanswered questions at this point to be able to answer this question.

You are surprised at all the non-believers in the afterlife on a porn webmaster board?

Pretty fucking sharp aren't you.

How does porn correlate with disbelief in the afterlife?

Afterlife has no direct correlation to formalized religion. Had there been a direct correlation, I would see your point, but there isn't.

Explain yourself.

This *is* the afterlife....

The overwhelming amount of "scientific" evidence points to no afterlife.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:thumbsup

a lot of psychology is based in pseudoscience as well. People having past life experiences under hypnosis is bs. Most hypnotherapy is the Dr giving suggestions to the patient.

Many people say they felt like they were awake and in a normal conscious state while under hypnosis.

Guess what, that's because hypnosis is bs.

yea... right...

I believe in eternal life, the only thing that changes is the form :)

I would normally say no, but then you hear about something which has happened and it makes you give it a second thought...

i believe in south park theories :D

We know very well there is no afterlife, but...

afterlife must be full of angry chickens and beef

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

This is the only shot you get so make the best of it. After life was a sales gimmick by religion to threaten the masses with.

i don't really believe either way. we'll never know so whats the point?

thats one form of an afterlife... but, does taking religion and the whole heaven thing out of the equation, leave any other possibilities?

what happens to a video game character when he dies?

I don't believe in afterlife so once you gone, you're gone

Soon you'll just be able to download your brain into a computer hard drive and live in a virtual world frorever.. I say within the next 50 years..

What if you get cloned? Isn't a Clone an exact replica of you? So therefor you would be living once more? :pimp

I'd like to believe in the afterlife since doing so mutes the fright of death. I just can't bring myself to believe though. Reincarnation I like.

yes
I've had many many things happen to me and people I know

>>yes
I've had many many things happen to me and people I know<<

meaning? please share

If you dont know what happened before you we`re born, how can you know what will happen after your death?

I can write a book but here's one.

When my great grandfather was sick, I was young about 8 years old, I remember my grandmother on the phone with her sister talking about how he had said he had a dream of his father and brother who had long ago died telling him he should be coming home. I was snooping on her listening to hear what she'd say but I remember the feeling I got realising they were thinking he'll probably die soon

One day he woke up earlier in the morning and told my great grandmother he just had a dream of his brother and father telling him to get ready because it was time for him to come home. So my great grandmother rushed to the neighbors who had a phone to call my grandmother.

When she came back he had died.

All three of them slept the night before funeral downstairs at what was a small kitchen and what we called the summer room. Late that night they heard someone cough and what sounded like someone walking and dragging their foot slightly. My great grandfather was in a war, he lost his eye and his leg was somewhat paralyzed so when he walked he dragged one of his feet slightly and his galoshes made this very distinct noise. Which I also liked mimicking for whatever reason.
They say that's the sound they heard. We had a dog chained outside near the walkway in the yard and they said he first started to growl, then got quiet suddenly. Few seconds later they saw the shadow of a man walking toward the entrance door, leaving, same foot dragging noise my great grandfather always made when he walked.

Then either several days later or around the 40th day, I can't recall exactly, (there's food given away then in name of the dead person) my grandmother and her sister had the same dream that same night.

Both dreamt they were on the same small boat with an old guy with a white beard, who tells them he will now take them to see where their father lived now. He tells them they'll see people they know but not to touch them or they would stay there with them.

Both my grandmother and her sister described going trough a dark tunnel then on the other side they end up at either a small lake or small quiet river. They describe a big meadow with green (green color like they have never seen) grass, and familiar people who it appeared to them were having a picnic going on. They ended up recognizing who the people were - aunts, uncles, kids who had died, some a long time ago.

The old man pointed and told both '...and this is where you father lives now'. Both saw the same thing- a building with stained glass windows and rounded roofs similar to an orthodox church. Which is interesing because I think he was an atheist. He was in a war and lost one eye and one of his legs was partially paralised.

On the way back they said their relatives were all waving at them. My grandmother almost hugged one of her aunts but the old guy stopped her.

One winter I went up to the room where he died to dry out from the snow. ANd I laid down on my grandma's bed. It was very quiet but suddenly I started hearing heavy breathing, the way my great grandpa was breathing. It got really close to me, like someone was sitting right next to me, I felt a chill and ran out with my shoes and jacket in probably less than 5 seconds.

My mom and aunt too had the same dream the same night of my grandfather who had died 6 months earlier, being unhappy they aren't planning our annual family meet up. He told both of them to make it happen. So they did, after that again both of them had a dream where he was sitting in the kitchen, smoking looking out the window really happy.

A friend of mine recently had a dream of her dead grandfather, dressing up in a suit looking very serious, like he was going somewhere. She mentioned it at a forum we hang out at, trying to figure out what it meant. Two days later her grandmother, his wife, died.

My boyfriend's grandmother who's almost 95 years old also had several dreams of her husband and others telling her she was past her time. She says she shooshed them away told them to get lost :1orglaugh

Way too many coincidences like these for there not at least consider there's something. Of course if someone doesn't want to believe that's their choice but other experiences I've had personally show me otherwise

FYI Christianity believes once you die, you don't go anywhere, you just fall asleep and are awaken when the rapture occurs. So things like that don't really fit with the dogma. Even though Jesus does hint at reincarnation in the Bibile, but who's reading

If I had a nickle for every time I've dreamed about a dead relative talking to me I'd be rich.

Such dreams are common and really mean nothing. giving life to them in the real world will make them real to you even though they are not.

Telling yourself that you are going to die soon will rush you closer to the grave. Half of being cured of a disease or living healthy is about having a positive attitude about chasing life and not obsessing over death.

I don't think there's an afterlife. Is there an afterlife for bacteria? Plants? Cockroaches? Frogs? Dogs? The way I see it, we're no different than them, just more complex. I do find the thought of my body decomposing and becoming part of other things neat.

yes there is, its karma
