Well I believe after we die a we will get to see our ancestors whom we have never met before. I believe that when we die we go to a place not called hell but "purgatory" not the purgatory in dantes inferno or paradise lost but the latin term for purgatory is known as "place of judgement" but its also a place where your life is somewhat given to you the good & the bad. In fact many people who have had near death experiences have actually seen their life shown to them from beginning to end even some things that have never happened to them because their only temporarily dead.

The place of judgement is not to put you in hell but to test you on what you know. Actually many people that have had near death experiences especially from suicide attempts end up being how can
I say "totally a believer in the afterllife." A story online is of a teenage girl here is a link:
Teenage Christian Says She Saw Hell and Warns that People Who Listen to Michael Jackson Music Are Getting Trapped in Satan's Web | God Discussion... www.goddiscussion.com/39867/teenage-christian-says-she-saw-hell-and-warns-that-people-who-listen-to-michael-jackson-music-are-headed-to-hell/

she knew no knowledge of any type of afterlife and in fact hated god she grew up with a rich family whom where very dysfuntional. all I can say is that it is an uplifting story. She ended up going from a druggie to a believer in hell. She also saw many other disturbances.......maybe you should think on what side to walk on in our world?

well their are alot of other strange stories on the internet on near death experiences in fact: a group of british scientists are trying their best to prove this old theory as "possible"/ "real"

Time and time again when it comes to the afterlife, if it didnt exist, why do anything in this life. If there were no life after earth., I will drop everything and , rob, steal, kill, whatever that pleases me to take care of my material satisfactions. Life is like a line. There is a point at its origin but that line goes on forever. Nonspiritual evil ppl dont live in eternity. God seeking ppl live for eternity

With that statement you just showed what is truly inside your heart.

What would be the right way to live? pillage and rape because it benefits you, or love your neighbor as yourself?

Pitiful

In other words, you want your neighbor to be happy that what you believe keeps you from breaking into their home and murdering them all.


Yeah, talk about nonsense.

Plenty of Athiest's don't even have as dark a mentality as that, why don't you go ask them why they don't feel the need to go pillage the community since they don't believe in an after life.

If there were no afterlife then why not? But since I believe in the AFTERLIFE then I believe all of the Goodness than goes with it and that is in my heart. I was making a statement to illustrate that fact. People claim God dsnt exist and there's no afterlife yet are scared to do immoral things which contradict that fact. I cant knock an agnostic for questioning reality, but I have to question an atheist why they talk the talk but cant walk the walk.

Because atheist are spirit endowed but either want to deny it or go against it. thats why. Ppl that care less about God and know it go out and do what they want. You dont because you think you atheist know everything pertaining to God but somehow seem to know what is moral and immoral naturally

Right, yet, your morality says that everyone around you is one breath away from being murdered by you because you believe in an afterlife.

ooookkkaaaaayyyy
