Beliefs on the afterlife

[SpeedyGirl]

So I am sitting here, contemplating life in general and was wondering what are your beliefs about the here after??? I’m sorry if this offends anyone, I am not out to do that at all.

The reason for this thread … in the last 3 weeks I will have attended 4 funerals, and I don’t think that this will be the last in the near future but crossing fingers that it will be.

All had an effect on me in different ways, ages ranged from 45 to 70, none were really religious and I wondered, what do you think is out there?? And what brings you comfort? With the diversity of people on this site it got me wondering about what you all think….

Now I was brought up in a catholic family and know the basics from that religion…and I have my own non religious thoughts on what happens when you go, and some people that I have spoken to call me morbid as I don’t find death a taboo subject… actually I am probably the most organised if anything does happen to me, its all written down… just interested to see what people believe.

So help me out peeps, what are your thoughts/beliefs and please try to keep it on topic I genuinely want to know!

there isn't one

Personally,

I don't believe there is an after life. When you die, you're conciousness ceases to exist and there is nothing more.

Not a too cheery way of looking at death but you can't expect to live forever in one plane of existance or another..

Humans are no more superier than the average goat. If a goat dies, it won't go to goatie heaven. However it may re-appear during Moevember (haha, goatie, get it? Ha. Ha. Ha... no.)

Sorry, this is a serious topic. So I will have to be straight up and say, maybe. I personally have never felt a ghost, but my mother swears to have felt one when we went to my great grandparent's house to clean it up (and to nick their golf clubs :P), and I believed her.

I'm on the fence. I believe in the almighty in the sky, but I don't believe in hell, or heaven. It's complicated. Scientifically there would be proof to every single theory that has ever existed, so it's hard to not fall off that fence.

When you're gone you're gone, compost, worm fodder etc.
There is no god either, religion is just a punchup to see who has the best imaginary friend.

Want something to do on a Sunday? Drill holes in your back yard and look for either oil or water. If you strike gold by accident hide in in your teeth or up your arse but don't put it with a finance company.

I looove philosophy.

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son , that whomsoever believeth in Him shall not perish, but shall have eternal life.

And I have seen a long dead chief sitting on his tomb outside St Faith's church.

There is alot of beliefs in this world many conflict with each other, my belief is firm and strong and I know in my after life I will be looked after by big breasted woman who serve me beer and give blow jobs on demand, I will have a choice of bikes and my own race track to play on, and when my lights go out I want you all to take comfort that I am being looked after in the heaven I refer to as BLISS

I haven't experienced anything that proves (or makes me believe) either way that an afterlife exists or doesn't exist. I'm agnostic.

However, I do like the idea that some sort of afterlife exists. And I figure if I like the idea and it makes me a little happier, then it's a good thing. Because when I die, if I find out there is an afterlife, then cool (unless one of the religions that say non-believers will go to hell are actually right. but I don't believe they are). And if it turns out there isn't one, I won't exist to care about being wrong.
