Religion question...

[Nikke]

Those that don't believe in God, or an afterlife...Don't you ever wonder what is next? Is this it? You die and are buried (or cremated) and that's all?

Why are people scared to know the end is the end.You are done, so enjoy every moment, and smile.

 

[Gloryuh]

No offense but this shit makes my head hurt. I just have fun in the now. I'll worry about what, if anything, comes next- when it comes.

 

[sophieb]

Pretty much. Can't do too much about it so do worry that much about it.

Although I agree with olayda that the christian concept of an afterlife is a form of social control, there are different constructs about what happens when you die. As I've recently lost a very close member of my family recently, I have been giving this much thought.

I'm not a religious guy, in the conventional sense, but I have a strong spiritual streak. I believe there is more than just getting buried. Perhaps we return to the karmic wheel, or pehaps we go off the the Summer Lands, or perhaps we stay and help those important to us.

These and other theories have felt true to me at one point or another. Have you never felt connected to the universe, either through going beyond your physical limits, by having this brilliant idea, or in an amazing lovemaking session with a lover?

There is more to life than the body you currently inhabit. You just need to be open to that possibility.

Actually you end up as food for bacteria, worms etc and thus life goes on.

It's a scary thought to think once you die it's over. Benny Hinn says it's not and he wouldn't lie now would he?:
