do you believe in life after death??

[zzxxee]

over to you !!!!

[B00]

Yes, and it better be better than this one, as I'll be putting in a complaint!

[squarebear]

No. next...

[NoMercy]

Yes, very much so.

[zzxxee]

what makes you so sure boo?
are you not keen on the question squarebear?

[China Doll]

About as much as I believe in father christmas or the toothfairy.

[daffy654]

Not in the slightest.

[Bobbisox]

Thers a lot of unexplained stuff goes on zee, I think there is something there , but not sure what,

[squarebear]

No the question is fine but I can not understand how people think you live again once you die. Some people seem to be living just to die and get in Heaven. I personally like to live as full a life while I am still alive.

I see no sense in thinking that when you die, you sit on a cloud and play a harp or whatever. This is 2010 not the middle ages.

Don't know whether to say yes or no but I do believe there must be something better than this as this could be hell on earth.

[NoMercy]

Life is one huge learning curve. If there is nothing beyond the realms of our earthly existence, ie no "hereafter", why do we (mostly) strive to become better people and to learn the difference between right and wrong?

I think even the nay-sayers have an element of God-fearing about them? Otherwise, why would the vast majority of us be burdened with a conscience?

[zzxxee]

i do totally and also believe in guardian angels

[RATTER15]

Its a fascinating subject, one that I would love to believe but I just cannot bring myself to believe it.

I know that if there were such an after-life as some people may claim I have close family relatives deceased that would contact me.

I wont be holding my breath! :-)

[NoMercy]

I don't buy into the whole "angel on my shoulder" stuff... but there's nothing to say we don't have spiritual guides with whom we consult before/after any earthly incarnation.

[Bobbisox]

I think it is the subconscious who helps us believe there are guardian angels, we need to cling on to some kind of hope when we are very down and it is the yearning to see a past loved one that we ask for help...imo,

[squarebear]

I'm sure it brings comfort to people who are dieing but I just don't see it myself. Once you are dead, that's it. Sure, the alternative of an everlasting life seems great but logic tells me this isn't possible.

Where would this Heaven be? Surely, it must be ram jammed with people if EVERYONE who is a Christian has gone there? Do pets go there? Do any illnesses you have magically vanish when you get there?

[4getmenot]

I'd like to think our soul goes on to be born into another. Have you ever seen the film 'chances are' ? thats a great film

[NoMercy]

Ratter... what if they are not able to contact you because it is not in YOUR karmic interest for them to do so?

What if contact from them would hinder your progress in life? We don't know all the answers and saying that the afterlife can't possibly exist because loved ones haven't made contact is akin to a child saying that its mother doesn't love him because she won't buy him a new toy.

For your soul to survive death it must first survive life.

Massive brain traumor can distroy people's memories, their personalities everything we think of as their "soul"

If you can't survive life - how can you survive death

Sorry

[Bobbisox]

that'll be the same place as the terrorist go to sb, each of them with loads of virgins waiting on them...LOL
