Just curious what people believe. A serious subject that's rarely touched on. Nobody likes thinking about dying. We're young, we're invincible. Til we're old, and we're not. The common answer is heaven, hell, purgatory(ghost?), reincarnation and mud worms. Unless aliens have some advanced answer for all of this. In other words, God?

How are you living your life? Living it based on a potential afterlife? Living life to the fullest cause it's your only shot? Playing it safe just to get by? Maybe meeting the middle of God's terms? Based on which God you believe in of course.

Me... I believe in nothing anymore.

I choose to believe in God from the Holy Bible. I've got an issue with mankind being the top of the food chain. A higher power makes more sense to me, than the odds earth just forming by chance. Science says the universe is expanding, and to work the puzzle backwards the universe came from nothing, sounds a lot like creation from the Holy Bible.

To believe in nothing is still something.

I've argued with someone over the fact that you can't create something from nothing. Unless of course they're more powerful than we are. But is it God? Alien ant farm? Just wondering how people choose to live their life, based on the prize of where you go. Something? Nothing? Worse than something or nothing?

Agreed. Just curious as to what people around here believe. On one hand, I believe there's nothing after you're gone. On the other hand, I believe it could take something we can't understand to produce this all. At the end of the day, I believe in nothing when I die.

I'm more intrigued by the Universe. Is it infinite and where'd it come from? I'm just a speck of dust along for the ride... as far as I know.

Of course. I think the only reason to truly be here to is find out why. Otherwise we're just repeating the same thing over and over again. Live, die, repeat. Seems rather pointless to raise families over and over again with the sole purpose of comfortably surviving. Surviving to die?

I believe the Bible. I don't try and force anyone to believe the way I do, nor do I fully understand how it all took place when God created the universe. I don't get angry at anyone for believing different, nor do I understand the anger and hatred non believers have towards those of us who believe the Bible. I don't "try to live good so I'll go to heaven ". The bible clearly teaches it's not what we can do, rather a free gift of God. I try to do right by God because I love him. I know who I used to be, and I know the change that occurred in my life when I got saved. I'm just thankful for that.

When I die and they lay me to rest
Gonna go to the place that's the best
When I lay me down to die
Goin' up to the spirit in the sky
Goin' up to the spirit in the sky
That's where I'm gonna go when I die
When I die and they lay me to rest
Gonna go to the place that's the best

More so than where we go, I've always been more curious about what a person's state of consciousness is in spirit form as opposed to physical. Like, does it feel like a dream state where you sort of drift in and out? Are your senses actually heightened and you see, hear, and feel more than when you were alive? Is it perpetual sleep? Without a physical body, do we sense pain, hunger, discomfort, desire, boredom, etc?

Everything in the universe has an opposite. And good and evil are two of those. God represents good, and Satan represents evil. Jesus Christ taught us that and we have a choice. Love and be loved and seek God, or hate and be hated and seek eternal hell. I choose God. God is love.

I believe after death, one either goes to heaven or hell. I follow God and Christ as close as I can to strive to make it to heaven. I often pray for friends and family members to accept Christ because I'm worried they won't make it there. However, in the end, God makes the final call.

I believe the bible to be true. I believe Jesus Christ is who he said that he is and has done what he said he has done.

Can't honestly say.

....I struggle with the hypocrisy of man in regards to religion. I believe in a higher power, but I won't pretend to say I understand it.

I believe in God


I think it would be cool to roam/fly around space and the stars

Also maybe be a spirit/force and help out those on earth

(Not saying that will/could happen, but it sounds cool to me)


As far as body after death:
I think it'd be cool to have one's body dumped into the ocean when dead or burned if somebody made a big impact on others and was respected

Those just seem cool to me as opposed to being put in a box in the ground (no offense to anyone)
