Question: Do you believe in life after death!?
What do you think!? I know this question has been asked a lot already but I just wanted to know your opinion on it!. Myself, I hope something exists!. I mean I am enjoying every moment I have but life seems so short, I refuse to believe that this is all we have!. The thought of ceasing to exist scares me unlike anything else!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

How depressing it would be to me if i knew that my life on earth meant nothing after i died!. That i would just pass into the dust like some animal, my soul perishing with my body!. I know that there is life after death because even if i didn't believe in God (which I most certainly do), there are countless instances of people right before they die suddenly realizing that their life was worthless and in death they will reap what they sowed during their life!. I can feel instinctively, even without scripture to back me up, that there is something more, and I need to be attentive to that!. Read "The Death of Ivan Illyich" by Tolstoy for an illustration to your question!. Just appreciating this world isn't enough!. This world is only a shadow!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

If we ceased to exist before we were born, it would only seem logical to cease to exist after we die!. I don't know what I believe after death!. Yes, the thought of non-existence is quite frightening - I try to ignore that thought as much as possible!. Honestly, what I want (but I don't believe this is what will happen) is reincarnation!. Why!? Because you get another life, and you have no recognition of your past!. And, you're not segregated into two places because you didn't fit standards!. It's simple, and not a lot of threat!. However, truly, I have no idea of what will happen after death!. And, quite frankly, why should anyone care!? Whatever does happen, happens!. You can't change it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yea everyone hopes to live just that bit longer especially since we all know that life's can be good after all! Ceasing to exist is just such a pity when we've amassed all these knowledge and made so much wonderful memories with your loved ones as well as the people you meet each day!.

Personally, I believe in life after death!. Even if I didn't want to, I can't ignore all those near-death witnesses who claimed that they see heaven while they are in a coma or something!. Such accounts give me hope that yea, there is a place to go to after my life on earth ceases!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

How can there be!? It’s impossible!. Look at what you've just asked!. Life then death!. So you're asking is there life then life then life then life and so on, so where here is death!? How long is death for and how are you supposing you come back!? I don’t wish you to worry about death but its probably going to happen to you one day, and I doubt you’ll come back (unless you had a myocardial infarction or similar)!. You will still exist, since when has it been possible to rid of any energy entirely!? Look at this if you're still interested in death!.!.!. http://www!.amazon!.co!.uk/gp/product/08264!.!.!.

I firmly believe that there is nothing after death!. It's a balm to me, not to have to worry about what comes next!.!.!.not to have to fear that something I did will land me somewhere that humans have been taught to fear!.!.
I do my best every day, to recognize and appreciate the beauty of life!. I've walked past the hurts, treasured the joys, and look forward to rest!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I believe there is life after death!. I think that we go to a place and see all the loved ones, friends and all of our pets that have already past!. We just move on to do more things!. I believe there is only peace, no anger no judgment on the other side!. But we have to overcome on the other side what we were put on this earth to conquer!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

No because we do not exist in the first place as below this will tell you all is needed to know!.

We are all under the control of Osama Bin Laden!.
We are illusions and we do not exist
We once existed until he corrupted our minds with his bombs and armies of infinity, when he is stopped we will return, but it is near impossible as he could just clone millions and millions of soldiers bred to destroy the earth!.
We do not exist, and we won't forever! because osama bin laden will never die of old age as he has over 9000 copies of himself!.!.!.
You may be thinking "WHAT, 9000!"

But yes 9000 that's correct and also his power level is over 9000 and if we do not obey his command he will falcon punch to the center of the earth and blow us all up, but that is clearly not possible as we are just illusions
So we technically we will exist but with nothing else but as he blew up the world we don't exist which means we exist then don't then do then don't which means we will actually stuff up the order of this fake universe and be sent to a white 4D universe where we are fake and 3D which means we actually cannot properly explore this 4D universe which means Osama Bin Laden has screwed us up and 1000 of his over 9000 clones did a suicide attack on the 4D universe so it is destroyed and we return to the future of the 3D universe and for the next billions of years it's creating a new earth and we just keep breeding under the power of osama bin laden until the time has come and we can explore once again but osama does not decide to blow up this universe instead he becomes the new BAD jesus and takes over everything and makes us live in hell so in billions of years we still will not exist and will live in the real hell!.

In conclusion we do not exist and there is no life after death!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes I do!. I believe that there is both a heaven and hell, and that depending on our lifestyles (weather we are saved or not) we will go to either one after we die!.

There is only 'nothing' for those who convince themselves of it!. Believing in something is what makes our lives worth-while!. Belief/Faith is what men of old fought for to keep!. :) I hope this answered your question hun!. <3

God Bless (:Www@QuestionHome@Com

I'm not religious or that, but I do believe that when you die you pretty much enter a new life with no memories of your past life!. I don't believe you will become an animal or that, I reckon you enter another human life!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think after death we return to the same state we were before birth!. The problem comes from the idea that our consciousness "disappears"!. We have no problem believing we were nothing before birth, so why would people have a problem in thinking that we return to nothing at death!? Www@QuestionHome@Com

The ending of "life" is known as "death", or didnt you know that already!?

So , by your contention, how many deaths do we have to go through, eh!?

One is not enough !?Www@QuestionHome@Com

beyond doubt, there's life after death!. it's very impossible for someone's soul to go to nothing!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

It is crap!. Were you scared before you began to exist (before your were born) Of course not, you just go back to nothingness!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Personally i do, but the people who say its crap and stupid, u shouldnt be too sure because no one knows its just a belief!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

it all depends on religion!. im Christian so i believe in life after death!. but you have to be saved!.

I do!.!.!.and I am Catholic and they don't believe in anything but heaven or hell or purgatory!. But I do believe in reincarnation and life after death!.

There is way too much out there we dont' understand and a lot of evidence that proves it could be!.

I guess it is what we choose to believe!. I love my religion but I also choose to believe some things they don't teach!. I can't believe any religion has all the answers!.!.!.or all the knowledge!.!.!.!.!.and if that is offensive to some then I am sorry!. I have been one of those that always tests the truth and believe there is always more to understand and explore!.

There are rare instances that can't be explained about what people experience and know!.

I want to believe there are answers!.!.!.!.and there is life after death!.
You can look at people and see very young people who act like they are so wise and so old and are so grown up!.!.and adults who act like they are two and can't seem to understand anything in life!.

I think those are old souls and young souls!.!.!.and you choose what lessons you want to learn in the next life so you can get to heaven!.

I really believe our life on earth is hell!. It is painful!.!.!.emotional and painful and some can't take it!. I can't believe that is THEIR LIFE without something to make up for it!.

I think when you learn those lessons!.!.!.you choose something else!.!.!.

I was always taught God was forgiving!.!.!.and if rapists and murders etc can get to heaven by the forgiveness of God!.!.!.how can others go to purgatory and hell when their sins are much less!. There has to be something else there!.

These are my thoughts!.!.!.!.!.and I know many disagree!.!.!.and that is ok!. We all have our beliefs and I do believe in God and I do practice my Catholic religion !.!.!.but I disagree with God forgiving rapists and murders if they are truly sorry and then babies never see heaven if they aren't baptized when they aren't responsible for themselves at all!.

SOMETHING is MISSING!.!.!.!.!.and troubling and I think we are missing part of the experience of life here!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
