What is your beilef on what happens after you die (Go into detail if your religious).

[warpus]

I believe some sort of reincarnation. We can't be gone FOREVER

Why not? (10 char)

 

[Truronian]

Eternal bliss has always sounded kind of dull to me (although Purgatory sounds ok). I somewhat agree with the OPs idea of having another go as another entity, although I do not think there would be any metaphysical transference of conciousness and so there would be no connection between Truronian and my hypothetical reincarnation (Thunderfall ) so it wouldn't be a reincarnation at all.

To put it concisely, I voted B

 

[A'AbarachAmadan]

I have to say I just don't know, so I voted other. People I highly respect have claimed to have seen ghosts, though I have never experienced any such thing. I tend to believe that it is just important to lead a good life. Whether I rot in the ground and am remembered better for it or it leads to some peace after death doesn't matter.

 

[azzaman333]

Within the next 100 years, i'll probably being rotting in the ground.

Really, how many threads are you starting every day?!

 

[The 777 Hoax]

I believe in Heaven in Hell as part of my Christian beliefs.

 

[Warman17]

Heaven/Hell - The Christian/Islamic/Jewish interpretation.

Is not I say. Although there are refrences to a "pit" in several passages, there is no clear hell. And yet there is no clear heaven either. The Jewish faith doesn't focus on the afterlife, it focuses on life. Putting Judaism up with Christianity and islam is as farfetched as putting Buddhists up there (heaven = nirvana, reincarnation = hell)

[blackheart]

Reincarnation, although I'm not sure to what extent of life the range of it is so I voted human only, for now. All based on your karma of course.

 

[Eukaryote]

I said other, I just think we go to heaven plain and simple, and we will never know what it's like till we get there! I am Chistian so I couldn't say "concept in another religon." Hell is simply a make belive place cooked up by preists thousands of years ago to scare athiests.

That doesn't make sense.

If someone doesn't want to go to heaven, shouldn't they have a choice?

Hell is the choice.

Of course "fire and brimstone" and all the descriptions are a way of making it colourful (and threatening), but that distracts from they key theological concept.

I feel satisfied.

I think that's a bit simplistic. I want there to be a heaven and would love to go there. But my ability for rational thought leads me to believe that no such thing exists, and furthermore I can't delude myself into believing it does just because I'd like it to be so.

But if someone where to give me undeniable proof of heaven's existence and ask me if I wanted to go, I'd say, "sure thing."

 

[JohnRM]

I am a Roman Catholic, but I have my own take on it. What I have considered is this.

Heaven exists, in some form.

Hell exists, but no one is sent there. Rather some choose to go, because they cannot make peace with something within themselves or with death itself.

God will accept all who ask for forgiveness. There is no time limit.

I do consider the possibilty of reincarnation or some form thereof.

I believe that God does not discriminate against other non-Catholic or non-Christians or those without religion.

 

[Margim]

I picked other... while I most certainly follow Jesus, to say I follow the Christian/Jewish/Muslim interpretation of heaven and hell would be a gross generalisation.

I anticipate it will involve some sort of accountability before a loving God, but how, what, why and where that ends up happening is all completely up for grabs.

Quite simply, we just don't know.

 

[Erik Mesoy]

Like several of the other Christians here, I believe in a non-classical heaven and hell... (i.e. hell isn't necessarily pits of fire) read The Great Divorce for some good views on how horrible Hell can be just by letting people live in peace.

 

[Perfection]

Those who navigate the Great Material Continuum well will find themselves in Divine Treasury, but those who fail to achieve profit will be damned to the Vault of Eternal Destitution!

 

[King Flevance]

I believe we go to heaven and hell. (Christian)

 

[Corlindale]

I think it's like being unconscious, just without the waking up part. IE: Consciousness is completely dead and gone. Would like to be proven wrong, though.

 

[Heretic_Cata]

This one is slightly different then the "What religion are you thread".

I meant that you open many threads per day in general (especialy in some days), no conection to the topic.
