Poll: What happens after death?

[ben---neb]

As a Christian i believe that God will judge the entire human race and we'll either go to Heaven, if you've put your faith in God and that he sent his son to die for our sins, or Hell, if you've rejected God.

Who cares? I'll find out when I get there, no point in speculating about it now!

 

[Tim Buck II]

What could I possibly be hiding?

Answer to life, the universe, and everything? I don't know, you just seem suspicious...

Answer to everything? Not everything is a question. And what do I have to be suspicious? The fact that you're taking this the wrong way?

 

[Computer-Noob]

I just hope that I come back as a human...I dont care if I remember things or not, I can NOT imagine enjoying reproducing with anything BUT a human.

Nevermind.

In response to the first part of your post: I am a pretentious prick. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt: You just signed up today, so odds are you haven't seen many of my posts. I've gotten several death threats issued to my face, internet flamers can't touch me.

That said: Time to address the rest of your post...

As I said: I believe there's a god (or that there are gods), but don't think any one religion can be right. So "Allah" can't be pissed that I worship someone else, because Allah isn't very likely to be the "one, true god". So you're perpetuating an argument that doesn't exist. Obviously, I can't pull the correct name for god out of my head, so I won't bother trying. But I do want god/God to know I am aware of his existence.

As for your comment towards Tyler Durden: You are correct: Nobody has disproved the FSM, the Geocentric Universe Theory, or Spontaneous Regeneration.

The first is just as likely to be the true form of god as any other, and is just as much "Hojo" to me as "Allah" and "Jehova" are.

The other two? We've been presented with a large amount of evidence that states that they don't exist, but as I've said in the past [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.109502?page=1] (Feel free to root through my previous posts to skip throughout the amusing debate I had with "supermaster1337". About the second/third to last page of my posts, from my profile.), you can't conclusively prove that God/god didn't put the fossils there. To test our faith? To make his little sandbox-game a bit more realistic? Who knows? But you can't prove to me that he didn't stick 'em there, and stuff 'em full of carbon-14 just to amuse himself.

(NOTE: When I say "he" referring to Hojo, feel free to replace it with "(s)he", "s/he", "she/he", or any variant of the above. God tends to be represented as male, which does, unfortunately, lead me to do the same...)

[small]Interesting note: So far, the people complaining at me about my opinions all just joined the forums: Sixth post and first post, respectively... Pretty sure that speaks more of me (for being such a cock-mongler that people sign up just to yell at me) than it does of them...[/small]

A final everlasting peace.

You go in the ground (or cremated etc.), world keeps spinning very few people stop and care.

I like Terry Pratchetts idea that whatever you believe in is what you'll get.

Thats exactly what i was thinking when i saw this thread.

 

[deecon13]

yea...at the time i read this it was 51% said nothingness....sad truly sad...i still have the faith of a child..theres got to be more to life then buying up a ton of crap and one day you kill over and thats it...if that was the case, why aren't we just dumb slugs or trees...why are "people" the most advanced animals on the earth..we can contenplate our on end...people have died and seen stuff on the other side...what about ghosts?....yea there's a after life..and what you do and say reflects what you'll be doing there...

i beleive that heaven exists.
i beleive that god exists.
im not sure about hell though.

How can you believe in Heaven and not Hell? Don't you believe that for every good their is an evil. For every evil a good?

 

[AndyFromMonday]

You could describe death has in "what you fell" when you sleep. Aka nothing. So the answer would be nothingness.

 

[iron codpiece]

what do you mean by other?

My people believe you become one with the world and guide your decendants to act honorably. Not exactly any of the options given. For example.

when I explain it so simpley like that it sounds like we're dwarves from Lord of the Rings.

 

[Soul137]

it's one infinite orgasm

 

[El Poncho]

I would like to think i come back as a cat, so i can sleep and eat all day)

And wouldnt it be nice to think that something happens after you die, thinking that you become nothingness just makes death just wtf:|

Well I don't know If I beleive in a devil

It just seems that the most supremely evil being in the universe would me chill with the evil people. I mean he tried to overthrow god . Why would he want to punish those who disobey god?

 

[Jamous]

I'm going to say other simply because I don't know and it is technically impossible to know for sure. However I'm going to avoid nothingness simply because I get a massive downer thinking about it too hard.

 

[flare09]

I think it's like re-incarnation. However, you might not be re-incarnated as a human. Or even on earth. However, you have no knowledge of past lives, so they have all ready happened.

 

[Jamous]

WRONG. When you sleep you often dream, thus, by your own reasoning, when you die your subconscious fucks about with your mind for the rest of eternity.

i feel as long as nobody has TOTALLY disproved the theory of god then god does exist.

Then you shall always believe in God. It's impossible to disprove something in an infinite universe. (Which this one, to all extents and purposes, is. Or at least it will be near impossible to explore it all.)

As a Christian i believe that God will judge the entire human race and we'll either go to Heaven, if you've put your faith in God and that he sent his son to die for our sins, or Hell, if you've rejected God.

And that just seems grim. No purgatory or limbo? Where do the majority of people who neither worship nor reject your God go?
