thoughts on after life .-.

[H2O BuckChorris]

So yes, Ive been thinking for quite some time on the theories of life after death.

Some say the ever so existant god or devil shall acquire your soul.

But for us who do not belive in such things,

Theres not much to fear or hope for in death,

So here I sit, wondering, why I fear death when I am surrounded by its sweet melody every day,

I laugh when I become hurt, I shut out those I love, I wish for dreams everynight when I sleep, I dont feel pain when I need it most.

It seems I am already dead inside..

So as I sit here and type this I seem to better understand this world,

We were created without meaning to eventually end nothing.

As cruel as it sounds I really think there isnt a point to our existence.

So, well I might as make my time worth it or something.. haha see this is why I try not to think becuase I get depressed again and again but if I fear the consequenses of things or the outcome of every little detail ill never get anywhere in life.

I'm not really sure what you are saying here helps in any way to ease his mind. More like compound the issue at hand with the bizarre abstraction made after the first comma, and then a somewhat disguised endorsement for suicide after the second.

“I balanced all, brought all to mind, the years to come seemed waste of breath, a waste of breath the years behind, in balance with this life, this death.” William Butler Yeats (Irish prose Writer, Dramatist and Poet. Nobel Prize for Literature in 1923. 1865-1939)

[H2O Gotham]

Man I can't disagree with him! He won the Nobel prize for Literature! Foiled again.

“In our daily lives problems are bound to arise. The biggest problems in our lives are the ones that we inevitably have to face, like old age, illness, and death. Trying to avoid our problems or simply not thinking about them may provide temporary rel” Dalai Lama (Head of the Dge-lugs-pa order of Tibetan Buddhists, 1989 Nobel Peace Prize, b.1935)

[H2O Gotham]

Now that was a darn good and pretty pertinent quote. But i dunno bro, sometimes people like to talk to an actual person, not have quotes shot out at them like some sort of dispenser. You may have a wealth of quotes and that is respectable, but your wealth of self reference is almost totally absent.

[Maxman]

“Love is anterior to life, posterior to death, initial of creation, and the exponent of breath.” Emily Dickinson (American Poet who has been called the New England mystic, 1830-1886)

[H2O Gotham]

Case and point.

[Maxman]

Sorry?

[H2O Gotham]

Hehe, don't worry about it dude. There is no need to be sorry, and if anything, I should apologize about getting on your case about this. It's really not my business how you choose to post, but I figure that more often than not, people would rather hear from you than a bunch of dead men and women.

[Maxman]

Your Greatness!

[H2O Gotham]

Well, to get back on point with what Buck is talking about, the thing is that at our origin the purpose of living is to help perpetuate the existence of our specie, thus I suppose through a lens of natural things, the more you've reproduced, the more meaning your life will have had since your genetic code has been spread further, thus leaving an imprint in time, even if it only be momentary. However, priding ourselves as higher beings we've decided that life and the meaning of it, is sculpted from person to person, our lives are what we make it, and while the long sleep is far beyond our control, we do have a say in our own lives and how it impacts those around us.

And don't dissuade yourself from thinking, just think about things that will be less likely to take you to a depressing place. There are many things to think about bro, just gotta find the things that you can really sink your teeth in to.

[UHmazinglyEva]

Buck, do you not believe in God?

[H2O Gotham]

Well from what he said, I would assume it's safe to say he is not a God fairing individual.

[IV.Injection]

* insert deep thought here * No reason to fear death, because i believe it just keeps going on afterwards.

[H2O Gotham]

Hrmmm, I don't think that will quite do Buck justice either. As he said, he does not believe in things like that, so perhaps getting him past it in another way than saying "there is something afterwards, so fear not".

[PMS Tiny Zombie]

Everyone's afraid of death, in their own way. Death is described as your eternal sleep. As far as anything goes, what exactly may go on afterward? We can make our assumptions. Heaven. Nirvana. Some higher plane of existence. However, we have no physical knowledge of this.

Honestly, in my opinion, I believe that although our physical body is gone from the state of life, our spirit lives on. The spirit is every essence of you, without physical form. I believe that if an afterlife does exist, we have the ability to shape this afterlife in some ways. Think of a piece of clay. That clay is made up of several components, but can be shaped to whatever we desire. That dream house you always wanted in life but never got around to getting it? Maybe you could have that. Maybe in the afterlife you have the ability to live your dreams, and fulfill whatever passions may have passed you by. There are so many possibilities. So, whereas it's normal to fear death, don't shun it. Maybe we do go to better places in the end. However, while you're still here... Live your life to the fullest.

If things were as simple as you are trying to make them seem the first post that Buck made would be without roughly 80% of it's content. If this is the only thing you have to contribute, I'm not sure it's worth contributing at all. In addition, within the first three lines of his post he states specifically and without and disguise that he neither believes in God or the Devil.

"Some say the ever so existant god or devil shall acquire your soul.

But for us who do not belive in such things,"

[UHmazinglyEva]

well, I don't want to go into full detail because it will p iss someone off.
like I always do.
So I'm just going to not say anything. I don't want to "insult" other people's beliefs.
& actually I think it is with contributing because it gets the word across.
Alot of people in our society today do not believe in Heaven,God, and Jesus.
Which that breaks my heart to see so many people like that.
I've got to the point where I don't want to associate with people who do not believe in God.
Why? I do not know. I guess because It disgusts me.
Now, Im not saying anymore.
zip, nata.

= your opinion. Not everyone has that belief, Eva. Be more open to what Buck's original post was, considering he stated he didn't believe in God or the Devil.

[UHmazinglyEva]

It breaks my heart that he doesn't believe in God.

[H2O Gotham]

Oh Eva, there are many points of your post which would raise an inquisitive brow. First of which you offer a fallacious disclaimer of "So I'm just going to not say anything. I don't want to "insult" other people's beliefs." and then go on in the next three lines to insult people who do not think the way you do, using such language which basically assumes that those who do not believe in God are below you and thus deserve your contempt. "I've got to the point where I don't want to associate with people who do not believe in God.
Why? I do not know. I guess because It disgusts me." I've rarely thought that there are those who do not quite fit in to this community, however your hateful and condescending message kinda changes my mind. I am not opposed to you having your own idea, I am however deeply opposed to how you present them. Work on your attitude, work on your words, and perhaps you wouldn't have to feign ignorance about the hurtful nature of some of your posts. Be glad, I'm more accepting of my neighbor than you are.

[Freakstylez]

That you let it bother you so is a fault, Eva. Your beliefs are your own and you should stay true to them in the face of all adversity, but to feel disgusted by other beliefs (or lack thereof)... it's not healthy.

I believe in God, I talk to him now and then and I feel rather blessed by him at times. What I don't believe in is the Bible. A book in the hands of men for 2000 years, no matter who originally wrote it, does not bode well for me; especially given the nature of the Church. To label myself a Christian is something I no longer do.

I talk with God and he, being my creator, understands. I don't need to justify my doubts about the Bible, nor do I need to account for my "fence" position regarding Jesus Christ. I don't necessarily doubt that he was, and that he is the Savior, but I chose not to make up my mind about that. I let God decide the truths of the world. He created me, mind and body; how can he fault me for my skepticism? I have faith in him, I abide by a moral code, and that's as much as he appears to ask of me. I'm not perfect.

I'm not bothered by other people's beliefs though. I'm not particularly thrilled when people condescend other's purely based on their religious and/or spiritual beliefs. I believe in choice and I defend that to the very death.

As for the afterlife... I certainly believe in Heaven, or a place like it. I'm sure, given my personality, I will step through the pearly gates, turn to God and ask, "where are my 72 virgins?" He will not laugh... he will have laughed billions of years ago, when he first knew of my intent to make the joke. XD

Just a question, but does it 'break your heart' or 'disgust' you? I'm just curious. I'm not in any way attacking you Eva, but you do realize that you've claimed that people on the forums have hurt your feelings, have you thought about the fact that you may be hurting others with your words as well?

Yeah, I kind of got into the moment.
I did not mean to insult anyone.
If I insulted you, then woops.

My attitude is fine.
alot of people love it, but some people on these forums do not.
That's okay though, because you do not matter to me.
Sorry, that was hurtful but true.
I mean, I guess you do a little but not so much that your opinion counts.
I did NOT insult people who are not Christian.
I just said It disgusts me & I do not want to associate with people who say God is not real.
I just feel like... I can't help them you know?
That is why it breaks my heart.

They have not hurt my feelings, they're just getting on my nerves.
To tell you the honest truth, I have not wanted to insult or hurt anyone unless they insulted me.
Which I still didn't want to hurt their feelings.
You should not care what I say.
Like I have said numorious times, I'm just a person on the web.

Which would make you Agnostic, much like me. I believe in God, but the idea of the Church and what it's become, and so many rewrites of a sacred book in man's hands, that's my problem as well.

[H2O Gotham]

Eva, honestly speaking, there are few things that you could say that could actually hurt me, while your comments are quite curious and are generally troublesome, they do not bother me, and even if i don't matter to you, I think I can live with that. There are enough people to whom I matter, and matter to me, that the loss of one who is hardly an acquaintance is as they say "not much skin off my back". And while you may not think you've insulted people who do not believe in god, you have to realize, that it is inherently insulting that you think they need saving. As if for some reason what they believe has condemned them to some unnamed fate. Believe it or not, people believe what they will, and most of them don't want or need saving, especially from a self proclaimed savior. Take care kid, you may just be someone on the web, but your intolerance is real.

[no tolerance]

afterlife is a pretty interesting thing i think, and heaven and hell i dunno if they are true or not personally, but one think i never really liked was the teaching of faith through fear, loving a god through fear of retribution

[A93nt0r4n93]

I once was asked... "why dont you go to church? Is it that you dont believe in god?" the only responce i could muster up was the one that i have stuck with for years. "I dont believe that i have to go to a place to congregate with others just to show how much i believe in something or someone." that in turn brought forth another question that was bluntly asked "What religion do you claim?" Well truth be told i claim non denomination. At that point i was told that i was going to hell which kind of blew my mind. just because one does not believe in god doesnt mean that they dont believe in a higher power. To each its own. I pass judgement on no one. If someone doesnt believe in god.....are they really going to hell? My personal opinion is No. They may have another belief that doesnt include a god. i do however have to applaud Buck for standing form with his belief. Let no one change your mind or make you question your beliefs. remember.....its not their place to judge.

I'm talking about Atheists.
They do not believe in any supreme being.
like God.
If your religion is Buddism, then fine.
Thats your belief and I respect it.
I will not "trash" some elses belief,
But Block does not believe in anything does he?
He's agnostic am I correct? Perhaps Atheist.
hell, I don't know.
He said he doesn't know if there is a Heaven so he is agnostic.
I'm saying that it breaks my heart that someone does not believe in God.
I did not say "IF YOU DO NOT BELIEVE IN GOD THEN YOU SUCK WEENER AND YOU SHOULD GO SHOOT YOURSELF!"

no no no, if you think I mean't that, then sorry.
I had no intention of making it look that way.

[Freakstylez]

Yes, agnostic, though I've never seen fit to classify myself as that either. For those who must label my beliefs, though, agnostic would be the word. =)

Anyway, Eva, I can actually relate. When those I care about don't believe in God, I almost feel a pang of sadness for them... but there's nothing that can be done. It's what I believe and I don't dare press those beliefs on others.

I'm not a preacher.

All I know is that I hope my significant other believes in God in some capacity. I don't want to think about eternity without the person I spend my time here on earth with--not that I would necessarily know or even remember them when I'm dead and gone.

That's if I ever find one though. -.-

Um, I didn't say that at all, actually. I was more or less saying that there's nothing you can do, you can't let it bother you.

Being agnostic doesn't mean not believing in Heaven, by the way. ;)

[PMS Tiny Zombie]

Actually, you might be getting a bit mixed up, Eva. Agnostic is the belief in a higher power, but not of organized religion.

Atheism is the belief in no god, no heaven, no hell, no higher power.

EDIT: Lieunacy actually beat me to it a bit. And I'm in no way labeling you. Just generalisation. But I'm sure you knew that. ;)

Hmmm....I never really think about it. I've tried everything, catholic, atheism, being agnostic, kabala, wiccanism yada yada yada.

Like..I do wonder how we came about, but i don't really um....depend on a god. I say depend, b/c of my mom, not anyone else. Like she would pray to him and expect that her prayers come true and when they do, she does not think mere coincidence, like "he" is actually working magic. If she didn't get what she prayed for, she'll think she's doing something wrong. She hasn't been this way in while, but she used to..

I never caught on, im not close minded. I'm friends with anyone regardless of what they believe in, they could scold me about my choice of belief all they want, i won't argue unless it's an attack, but at the end of the day we're still friends talking about something random like animal balloons o.o..

I kind of, for a while, believed in reincarnation. You died but came back as someone else. Every 3 seconds someone dies, every 3 seconds someone is born. For every death there is life. That could be why people, maybe why people always find similarities in others that they once saw in someone they lost. Like a baby. Call it retarded but it gave me some sense of peace.

Thinking about the whole thing frustrates me, and makes me wonder, is everyone else real? am i the only one? How come people are dying but i'm still here. How my mom can catch pneumonia when she always wears clothing and is suddenly highly anemic, but i can go out in a tank and capri's in winter and be perfectly fine. Freezing, maybe i catch a cold, but im fine. (i over-exaggerated...don't take it literally, you know what i mean). Then i think maybe i'm the reincarnation of someone who took life for granted, someone who had everything but wanted more. So then i look at others sometimes and wonder, why don't i have that bond with my mom, why don't i have that easy laid back lifestyle.

I guess i'll never know until that day comes o.o...According to my palm reading, my short life line says soon XD

and sorry for reviving the thread, i know people wanted it to die o.o i just had all these thoughts rushing out

Sapphire is very right in expressing her instant viewpoint in accordance with her own jurisdiction and I'm fully agreed with the same as to tone and strength of verbatim... In support of above referred syntax, I'd like to share a piece of note as quoted by John Fitzgerald Kennedy (American 35th US President (1961-63), 1917-1963):

“A man may die, nations may rise and fall, but an idea lives on. Ideas have endurance without death.”

hahaha, my turn k?

I believe in Heaven and hell. God and the Devil. The Bible is the ONLY book of "religion" that has with stood the test of time. how can ANYONE explain that? Its because its the only truth. I mean you dont have to believe me. But where else would you go? how can you honestly believe that there is NOTHING after death? or that you just simply are....what?! lol. if we're living now.... why would we just simply "be" after death? thats pointless.... theres got to be a reason. The reason is God created us to live, and then to be able to enjoy the wonders of Heaven when we die. No other religion can really promise anything except life after death in believe in Jesus. I mean, if you think about it theres always been good and bad right? I mean no matter what theres a good side to a bad. how can ANYONE explain that one to me? how do you think we came to be? Im 100% positive we didnt just happen. Something created us. and no it wasnt just some random combustion and boom look a human. thats lame. I know that when I die, I'm going to heaven. how do I know this? because the bible tells me so. kinda kiddy and you can laugh at me all you want but its the most basic truth ever.

But just so everyone knows, I am open minded. but not when it comes to religion. BUT I DO NOT PUT YOU DOWN FOR WHAT YOU BELIEVE. I'm not a "YOUR GOING TO HELL" kinda person. I'm just a God fearing Christian who loves my creator with a passion that only people like me would understand.

sorry, I had to. <33

One in particular that has a way of brightening my day. When you can find somthing or someone that truly can make you happy, that really does help with the worries.

So as far as death goes, it really matters more of what you do with your life while still living. If you can say to yourself, today was a wonderful day. Then if you never woke up the next, you would have passed away happy. It is important to make sure you try to make the best out of what you have is more or less what i'm saying. Religion and God aside, because I don't like to preach or talk to others about it.

Hope that helps :)

wow i figured this bored would just die along time ago thats why i haven't been checking back but to a few who ask if i believe god i actually dont and i hate saying that cause people look or treat you diffrently but yes im atheist and in my eye there is nothing after i die other then just laying in a dirt pit and watching the back of my eyelids no proof = no existance but that statement goes with many conflicts in a sense that we dont have alot of proof or know many things but we act on whim but honestly until somone presuades me ill remain the way i am and i have heard just read the bible a million times b4 and i would like to say i have read 3 versions of the bible same mumbo jumbo never been to church and despite familys beliefs i dont care ^^
