    I don't believe in an afterlife myself ... however ... the place I work at is founded on a philosophy that believes in reincarnation and that the soul is on a journey which involves many reincarnations. Not so much an afterlife but many lives. Fortunately those of us who don't follow the philosophy don't have to pretend we do. It is enough to understand the philosophy.

    Well my wife has decided that in her next life, she wants to come back as a higher species.

    So she's going to come back as one of our cats. Life of absolute luxury, no work, no taxes, no stress.

    I think she might be right.

    The soul?........look at the issue in isolation. 21 grams is unaccounted for at death, exactly what is contained within that 21 is unknown.

    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.
    Exactly how I look at it too. It gives me comfort and that's the main thing.

    Im pretty sure that the people who did they whole 21 gram thing explained it as the weight of the soul but who knows....I meant its interesting in the way its very debatable that we have one.
    You release a lot of bodily fluids when you die
    Though I doubt that it would amount to exactly 21 grams between people

    Oh, please. Nobody deliberately contracts an STD. Nobody spends Sunday singing about how cool STD's are and absolutely nobody is under the impression that are in any way a superior being due to their having crabs.

    The afterlife? (says he, wandering back on topic) ... remember what it was like before you were born? Exactly. We, as bikers, should attempt to bear this in mind on a day to day basis IMHO. You may never exit the next corner. Seriously.

    I believe in religion and an afterlife as much as I believe in any other fantasy or science fiction story. There just simply is no evidence what so ever. People are free to believe what ever they like but the ones who try to convince others piss me off. you can not convince anyone of a belief and no amount of saying "well it says in this book, blah blah" is proof of anything.

    BUT if you believe in something that makes you happy and "tells" you to not go around killing people or being a shit head, that is all good. Doesn't make yourbelief any more important than anyone else's. So just be happy with your own thoughts and don't try to push them on anyone else.

    Although the law of thermodynamics comes to mind, " energy is neither created nor destroyed but merely converted into another form" and we have electrical energy in our bodies but I believe when we die that leaks away to earth, maybe it ionizes the air and buzzes around the place ( there that should give a glimmer of hope to the "soul" crew )

    Having to put up with that sweaty fishiness being smeared all over you day after day and and not having any appendage available to plug it up?
