Do you want to believe there is an Afterlife?


This poll question is not to be confused with - Do you believe...?

This general question does not pertain to any specific religion (i.e. heaven/hell or reincarnation)... or science where your atoms and molecules move onto something else (i.e. tree, rock, etc).

Its mean't to be simple...after you die - do you hope there is an outside chance of an afterlife?

If you want to believe in some sort of after life...what would it be? Heaven? Hell? Reincarnation? The promise of 72 virgins?

Thanks, not that your questions aren't top notch.

....so I was in Arizona a little over a week ago. Got (officially) engaged, stayed in Phx for a few nights, mostly visited friends and family in Tucson, great time.
It was hot.

I certainly don't want to believe in the Christian afterlife, with its hellfire and brimstone for nonbelievers like me. On the larger question, I have no idea, and I don't think anybody alive is in a position to know one way or another.

I said I'd like to believe in an afterlife, I don't though.

I live this life like it's the one and only.
There's just know way to KNOW - one can have FAITH, but that is not KNOWLEDGE.

I don't think I understand this question.

I believe there is a spiritual connection to a level of being outside our "reality". I don't think that part of us just disappears when we die.

Whether our not I want to believe in an afterlife is irrelevent. Everything that I am tells me there is more to us than just a concience and sub-concience.

How this relates specifically to different people's ideas and notions about God and an afterlife I have no idea.

Yes.


Humans, in general, seem to always be seeking something that is better than their current existence. This desire manifests itself in many ways; more money, more things, more happiness, more respect, more power, etc.

Upon attaining that which was desired, new or increased desire arises. There is no complete fullfillment in this earth bound existence.

Having unquenchable ambitions, driven by our spirit, one might only hope for Heaven, the fullfillment of all righteous desires.

Paradise! 40 Virgins waiting for me when I die! Sure sounds great to me.


Then again I'm pretty sure there would be a nice hot spot waiting for me so I vote NO.

so many people concerned w/ the afterlife.
What about the BEFORELIFE?
Something else - the Big Bang theory - which seems to align with the Biblical creation myth to a large degree - you know, "let there be light" - is under a lot of fire.
There is some momentum gathering behind an infinite, unbounded, eternally existing universe with no beginning or end.
This stretches my brain more than a beginning and end does!

I'd prefer they have a little experience.

In my mind it has to be that way.

There has to a before to every beginning and there has to be an after to every end.

What was before "The Big Bang"? Who created "God", besides Humans ?
