Do all of you out there believe in life after death?

No. What would be the point of having a life after a life?
Overs? Re-dos? Do overs?

Isn't this life, a fabulous experience, enough for you?

If not, then you just are not getting it.

For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all, neither do they anymore have wages, because the remembrance of them has been forgotten. 6 Also, their love and their hate and their jealousy have already perished, and they have no portion anymore to time indefinite in anything that has to be done under the sun. (Ecclesiates 9: 5,6)

Do all of you all believe in life after death?

There is no reason why one can't do both - believe that this life is not all there is, and still try to live this life to the fullest.

Have it your way or have it both ways. I'm sure that thinking like that would be easier if we had two brains, one for the real and one for the imaginary life. There would be less confusion as to what is real. As it is, we have one brain and it makes it difficult for some to differentiate between the real and imaginary. Imaginary things at times seem so real, or are desired to be so real, that some believe they are real. It's especially true for those who try to hedge their bets on life, to give themselves a little edge, a little God's protection.

In the end, it's about fearing to face the reality of this life.

In the end, it's about fearing death.

[The human daydreams]This is it, but oh wouldn't it be nice if I fulfilled the (fill in the various and complicated and conflicting precepts of your particular sect or cult.) and received the gift of eternal life? Well, hell yes, it would.

And wouldn't it be great if we could (fill in the various methods of sacrifice, entreaty, prayer, worship and general rite performance) and get God to provide us some cover from this life? [Are you paying attention Citizens of Dover?] Oh my yes.

And doesn't it feel better not to have to worry your pretty little head about reality when you can bump along in this dream of the imaginary?
OOOOh yes. {hands over some money}

Now there will be some challenges. (amen) Sometimes the Lord will work in mysterious ways. (o yes.) Sometimes {fill in the various horrific things that happen to humans} but we mustn't lose our faith. (oh no.)[music rises, buildings sway, mists of voices heard from just beyond.....)

The myth continues.

Only one of us believes that a supernatural deity speaks directly to him.
To a third observer, which one of us would appear to have an arrogant opinion?
