Your beliefs of Afterlife?

[Jabar]

I am not religious, I believe the most likely scenario is that once we die there is no afterlife: that all life just dies and that is the end.
For Humans, for pigs, for cows, for bacteria, for all living things.

Do you think that is logical?

I absolutely think it is irrational.

Ceasing to exist is very terrifying.

I believe we end up alongside people that think and feel in the same way....
How else to be happy?
How else to be fair

the grave holds the remains of those who failed to stand from the dust
Eternal darkness I snot a philosophical idea.
it is physically real
no light anyone into the grave

Nice.

That is crazy, so then how are you a Satanist?

Well let's face it, Satan gets no respect these days, so someone has to stand up for the dude.

I wanna learn about other faiths/beliefs afterlife.

I believe when alive we have interpenetrating bodies; physical, astral and mental bodies. At death the other two leave the physical body behind and we will barely be any different except lighter and freer without the clunky outer-cloak. (As claimed in Near Death Experiences). Eventually after considerable time spent on higher planes, we will become centered in our soul/Causal Body and will know and remember all our previous incarnations. Eventually if not perfected, the soul/Causal Body will spawn new blank-slate bodies which the soul/Causal Body will influence and experience the spiritual lessons to be learned in a lifetime. So, basically I believe in an afterlife, followed by reincarnations until eventual Liberation/Moksha/Nirvana and mergence in God/Brahman.

I tend to think that our spirit returns to a spiritual source.
Either that, or the "spirit" is actually a product of the mind.
In either case, our bodies return to our origin (the earth) and are recycled.
That is sufficiently meaningful to me.

I am agnostic regarding an afterlife.
There could be one...But I find it unlikely.
Who knows?

 

[Katzpur]

Fair enough.
Do you think the same for all living things, including bacteria/viruses etc, or does it only apply to sentient creatures?

My own opinion: I don't know.

We should be able to find at least one piece of evidence regarding such.

There are none, especially in a belief that coexists within the earth itself.

Actually there is evidence. It's no belief. It's our own birth and the experience of life itself. Life erupts all around us. People die. Atoms rearrange all the time.

I call it an educated guess. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe not.

Hmm...

I see.

Do you think it's irrational because you find the idea terrifying?

 

[Aquitaine]

My own opinion: I don't know.

But you're certain that is the case for your pets, at least?

 

[Jabar]

Do you think it's irrational because you find the idea terrifying?

No because it is irrational, lol.

We had to be on this earth for a reason and it is logical that we have an afterlife.

 

[Flankerl]

No clue, haven't been there yet.

Nice.

I'm not "certain" of anything. This is what I believe.

 

[George-ananda]

Nice.

Thanks for the positive acknowledgement.

In reading through all these posts there is one more thing I would like to add. I think a thorough balanced and reasoned study of paranormal phenomena by researchers into many subjects that relate to the life-after-death question can tell us a lot. (I'm referring to subjects like NDE's , appearances of the deceased to loved ones, mediumistic communication with the deceased, childhood reincarnation memories, etc., etc.). There is an attempt by many people intellectually discussing this topic of life-after-death to kind of roll their eyes at any the accumulated study of these paranormal subjects and not give them the serious consideration they deserve. I think that dismissive and biased attitude comes from an arrogance of science over religion and is not rationally based.

I wanna learn about other faiths/beliefs afterlife.

• I myself believe in the concept of Heaven and Hell as the afterlife.

• In the Grave, we are questioned by Angels about our beliefs.

1) There is no heaven or hell.
2) In the grave you rot.

1) There is no heaven or hell.

Pretty illogical.

And terrifying.
