Passage ...... Where do you go after you die

rosborne, I agree with your posts concerning this discussion. I think you're barking up the wrong "oink" with gels. His mind is made up.

In my opinion, I'm not going to bother wasting my time wondering where i'm gonna go when i'm dead. I'll find out when I get there. Ease your mind and drop the subject.

I'm sure your fine, it's a valid question. Everyone is curios at some point in our lives, I just think it's not worth wondering about. We have no control of such things anyway. I'm sorry if you took offense to what i said, i was more so being sarcastic i just didn't do a very good job at expressing that.

Yes, I do believe in life after death.

Excellent, an answer that isn't couched.

Most people seem to be afraid to make a direct statement.

They can't reference the spiritual as anything but physical. They find it so easy to accept the ectoplasmic but exceptionaly difficult to deal wth the implications of the protoplasmic, endoplasmic, cytoplasmic aspects of their nature. To even consider that a presence just as or even more miraculous than their own entity is just too much of a quantum leap...

Hi Frank,
Just to inform you and anyone else here that may think I am a man. I am 100% WOman, just wanted to make that clear.

Interesting that you should characterize Kerver's statement that way.

Actually -- the statement is couched.

By saying he "believes" there is life after death -- he is actually saying "I do not know, but my guess is that there is life after death."

The truly "uncouched" version would be a simple: "I do not know."

Hey Frank, why do you insist on re-writing peoples words. How should she have written "Yes, I do believe in life after death" so that you would interpret her as saying "Yes, I do believe in life after death"?

Many people seem to have trouble recognizing a direct statement.

I am so glad I don't have that problem

What an interesting way to say, "They just don't want to guess."

Worked in the old 'guess' theory didn't cha. Tell ya what .... no matter what your beleif, stop and ask yourself 'what do I do on a daily basis to prepare myself for that eventuality'? Like I believe in spiritual continuity and physical death so what actions should I pursue toward that end? Think about it, I'll be back.

.

Hope you enjoyed the coffee, Ge'.
