just gimi the prize

I honestly do.Jesus forgives everyone

At 24 I got lymphatic cancer 2 months after I got married, 3 surgeries, 6 months of chemo followed by 6 months of radiation put god on my bad side for a while.

Die. You'll find out.

I'm a buddhist jew but open for a non-existence reality...

who gives a shit HOW you get there ('there' meaning the end result of being a cool person and being cool to people)...if it involves a belief or organized belief system, great, if not, great...

:thumbsup

Why do bad things happen to good people. Like kids etc.

the only reason I like the idea of a Heaven is so I can tell my daughter that I will always be looking over her and I do that to comfort her. because the reality of no after life is sad.

TheJimmy, you're into Buddhism? Hit me up sometime so we can chat a bit about dharma. I'm heavily interested in Eastern philosophies.

roflmao Roger you crack me up...

Now gimme another hit ;-)

In answer to the tread title. I don't

In answer to the first question. Nothing that am aware of.

In answer to the second question. No.

In answer to the third question. Refer to my first answer.

IMO not believing in an afterlife makes me want to live this life to it's fullest.

Awesome! I'll beep you tommorow Gene, as I'm about to signoff for the night, I got you on ICQ :)

To be honest, I'm also a comparative religious studies fan...the concept of dharma is interwoven into a few religions and sometimes I wonder if it's not also available for study in the physical sciences on some level.

I look forward to the day when physical/hard sciences merge or at least become accepting of the psycho/spiritual realms and VICE versa...there is way too much 'one directional' study and arguments in the world today imo...

"team picking for the sake of team picking"
--humanity seems plagued with it at times to the point of insanity...

:2 cents:

bill w. the founder of aa wrote that god is deep down inside each and everyone of us, if god is anywhere i believe that is where

I actually feel the same way. :thumbsup

Its kinda like santa claus its good for kids to believe in till they mature

All I hope is that people in Heaven CAN NOT see what I do in private

I'll never hear the end of it when I get there

Me too and agreed :thumbsup

I don't believe in God and Heaven in the traditional Religious sense but do think the idea of everything within and without the Universe including us, as made up of a connected energy which is infinite and beyond time and space, makes pretty good sense. :winkwink:


...And God said, "Let there be light; and there was light."
"Good!" said God "Now I can see what I'm doing!"

:upsidedow

For me not believing in an afterlife makes this one pretty pointless. Kind of like busting your ass in college for four or more years but then not using your degree/s.

.. :Oh crap ok bad analogy as half the population has done that but anyhow I think this life is all about gaining experiences that we need in order to take the next step, whatever that may be. :)

With some of the things that have happened to me, I can tell that god hates me. But thats ok. I hate him back.

I don't believe in A GOD... I believe there is a higher power, a life force if you will.. but GOD as we know him is a made up thing to give people hope in my opinion...

I think when you die, your energy is soaked up into the earth and you become apart of everything within earth that is taking energy.. a flower.. a bug.. a blade of grass.. who knows..

I've studied a few religions in my time.. Nothing truly makes sense.. I take a piece from each and make up my own mind..

You know for me if there is a G-d in heaven, great, if there is not, great...

the point of living a good life NOW is what people should focus on, if it takes believing in a father figure that's gonna spank your ass to make you be a decent fucking human being here on earth, RIGHT NOW......then GREAT....

if thinking that there is NOTHING else after now, so you better fucking do it right now.....GREAT!



Having the belief that you should be the BEST person you can be RIGHT NOW and not be a total piece of shit, no matter what the motivation, is the road best traveled...


pick whatever motivation to be a good person works best for you and congrats....you win the prize of attempting to pull off a good life now, and the people around you thank you for it, and if it turns out that helps in some 'after life' double bonus....


:thumbsup :thumbsup

i need more evidence of god and creation before i believe in it, 8 guys supposedly wrote the bible, i'm not going to dedicate my life for 8 dudes

HE must be real all the chicks I bang keep saying his name.

Heaven is a state of mind when everything is perfect and your happy.

i believe in god. dont believe in organized religion though.

there is no heaven i will end up in. i like my after life hot with steaming babes.

seems hell is the place for me. lol

Look in the mirror. Look around you

I believe in God and heaven but organized religion isn't my game. IME, when you have a child die, believing in heaven or even an afterlife is one of the few things that gets you though the day.

I also think if there's a hell, most so called Christians are headed there.

Religion is just another fucked up way to control the masses....very similar to
politics :pimp

I belive in the the 'divine' power within myself. If that's God, well, roll me in butter and spank me till thursday.

My god is my consious (not sure if that is spelled right)..We all the know the difference between right or wrong--its just if we choose the correct path....

Heaven and Hell--don't believe in it...

I believe when we die its like when you get surgery and your put under. You don't dream your just out....

Heaven and GOD are just an avenue for ppl who can't think scientific about things. One just has to wonder why there's no modern day miracles happening. You'd have a *lot* more believers if some stoner walked across Lake Michigan or something.

I do not

why do people believe in god and heaven?
Because they were raised that way mostly. Not a factual reason, just because the parents pushed it onto their kid since birth. Not really healthy in my opinion but to each their own..

I'm sure the whole Heaven 'thing' was created back when life was hard and life was short. That way people could take comfort knowing that they would see thier loved ones again soon and that life wasn't just a meaningless short experience that it so often is for so many.

Sure.. why not lol.

I believe in God or a higher being and "life" after death, in no certain terms. Why? Because look around you... humans, nature, the universe etc. is too precise and beautiful to be a mere coincidence.

No Santa Claus either.

No i don't belive in God but I wish I did...its easy to justify things if you belive in him (sorry for not using caps...)

Trust me, you will believe in an afterlife seconds before you die.

No one wants its existence and identity to vanish into nothing.
