I have a news flash for you....Your fate after death is exactly the same as mine....You can choose to be buried or cremated, but either way that will be the end of Jeff...No seeing loved ones alive or dead because there is no afterlife for any of us.... We are all just a bag of mostly water...I have no idea why anyone would fear death, as it is simply the state of non existence, the same state we were in before we were conceived.
You have ZERO I repeat ZERO proof that there is no life after death. So the tank is empty on your side. I can look to the countless reports of people having encounters with spirits to at least suggest the possibility that there is more to this life.

Not sure what that proves.
What you have here is purely wishful fantasy that was born when people had no concept of how the universe worked...There is no proof of what you believe either, because everything you think you know is based on ancient hearsay....Tell me Jeff how are the testimonials of people encountering spirits any different that those who claim to have been anally probed by extraterrestrials?

Not really, Jeff. I cite them, and link to them, with commentary. There is a difference between cutting and pasting and claiming it as your own. It's called plagiarism, and also infringes on most copyrights. I may cut and paste short excerpts, but ALWAYS link and accredit the original source.
Copyrighted Material - Instead of copying-and-pasting articles, photos, or other material you find on the Internet, you should be posting links to those articles. Posting a snippet from the article and then the link is the appropriate way to post.
See what I just did there?
I copy and pasted a short excerpts from the Terms of Service we all agreed to, and then linked to it. The rest of what you read is original content, and I made it clear the parts that are not, giving proper accreditation to them.
I always post the links to my sources. Have you sunk to just posting blatant lies about me now?
Do you know what a question mark is? Or did your brain not comprehend I asked a question?
It's not looking good for you Jeffy. I suggest looking into remedial English classes as well as a civic class.
p.s. Your instructors will not be impressed if you use Conservapedia as a source. They'll be able to steer you to something more scholarly and less biased. Nor should you use The Daily Mail, the National Enquirer or something your pastor told you during a sermon about the moral decay of America.

Perhaps you could explain why a very religious country like the US has a suicide rate of 12.38% whilst a country that is not very religious...like the UK has a rate of only 6.28% SUICIDE DEATH RATE BY COUNTRY
Jeff, what happened when the praying stopped was that the suicide rate dropped dramatically. Do you not see the correlation? Stopping praying in schools correlated with a dramatic drop in suicides. Does that mean that praying causes suicide?
OP, did you ever think that the reason suicide increased so much precisely during the decade that saw 3 major stock market crises and economic setbacks might have something to do with the economy? Are you aware that tens of thousands of people lost their homes in the sub-prime mortgage debacle?
You don't sound very understanding or compassionate. You sound very judgmental. Your attitude is going to turn people off to religion.
