Do you believe in afterlife?

I let you know when I am resurrected.
Actually, I'm too busy in this life to worry about an after life.

I suppose, Krr, it depends on your def of "afterlife"

your genes are your connection to any afterlife

If you watch the Stargate series, they run a great storyline in which one of the characters "ascends" to a higher plane, no god required.

Makes for a great watch.

What is meant by a "Higher Plane."?

60000 feet

Is that stratosphere?
Or etheric matrix?

I don't believe in no afterlife for my own damn self cause I ain't never gunna die.

higher plane of existence, it is an esoteric cosmology thing. They're very into planes.

Sorry, please excuse my ignorance but I don't know what an esoteric cosmology thing

And what do you mean by that they are a varying plane? If so what are these varying planes. It's just that I am incapable of conceptualizing this Esoteric Cosmology thing.

Or are you saying that only a few can understand this Higher Plane?

Are you one of the privy?

Thank you.

Eve thought so

Does your leg hurt?

Does my leg hurt?

Someone's pulling it

My responds to this post is tongue in cheek... and being sarcastic

Oh.

OK

By "believe in an afterlife"...I suppose you mean "guess that a life follows this one."

You certainly are free to guess (believe) whatever you want...so there is no reason to think that a guess (belief) that a life follows this one has to be connected to a guess (belief) that a god (outside of yourself) exists.

It certainly is not unreasonable for me to suggest (to myself) that "all of this" is merely an illusion created by whatever "me/I" is...and when the thing I call "me" or "I" slips this mortal coil...it (I/me) will live on and create another illusion in which to live. Most likely even a god wouldn't want to be all alone.

And it is not unreasonable for me to guess (believe) that is what will happen. (Personally I feel more comfortable not making a guess in this area at all.)

So, YES, it is possible to guess (or in your words, believe in) an afterlife...without guessing (or in your words, believe in) a god outside of self.

So just to clarify


so you believe in the afterlife


cause you're gonna die

Smiley,
all up in the thread bein' pretentious

I do not believe in the hereafter or afterlife. Man being finite, once dead, in my humble opinion, that's it. I do believe the energy that animates us returns to the unified whole once leaving our bodies. I don't know anyone who has died and is now experiencing the great beyond experience. How can one prove it? It's not enough for people to say they died, came back to life after being revived saying they saw a white light, their deceased family members among others, one must have provable or verifiable evidence. People's personal experience will not do it because strong drugs/medication sometimes cause one to have visions.

As far as a living god is concerned, scientists cannot prove there is a god nor disprove the existence of a god. Commonsense alerts us to another force that controls gravity and the universe, but that man is in the image of this so-called force seems a far stretch from reality.
