Many people believe in some sort of afterlife because they are afraid of nonexistence, however the good thing about nonexistence is that you have nothing to worry about, and you won't care that you don't exist.

quite philosofical. but you are right. I'm afraid of nonexisting but if there isn't afterlife after death I don't have to worry about it.

I like that.

I tend to think sometimes that perhaps after you die your existence becomes whatever you want it to be or what you expected it to be. Or perhaps it all starts over...not in the way of say Buddhism, but everything around you, you, and the universe is completely different. Ever think maybe everything around you never existed before you and will not exist after you, and they're just your imagination preparing you for something else maybe? Maybe there are different universes inside cells inside cells etc. I don't know, and I probably shouldn't, cause then where's the fun? I could get into a whole plethora (zomg big word) of ideas and theories about life and the afterlife etc if you catch me at the right time of the night in the right state of mind...like now for example, haha.

Who knows...good discussion, though...

not even the idea of an eternal life after death?

I don't even believe in an after life, I don't see any real point of it. you go there when you die then you get pampered for like all of eternity, I would get bored if it was like that. Or if you've been bad(which everyone one has been)will be tortured for all of eternity and i dont really like the sound of both of them.

neither do I. but I wouldn't like being nothing either.

Maybe not just getting pampered for eternity, maybe just taking everything in your life you liked doing and minus everything you didnt

i dont belive any religion and i once egg a catholic priest religion is a great brainwashing tool now some of the philospys of buddism and hindism i like but i still will not worship any religion

Scarecrow63 · « **Reply #27 on:** October 16, 2007, 08:08:22 PM »

I don't have anything agaisnt religion, but the people in charge and stuff make it bad, like the catholic priest scandals and the whole terrorism leaders teaching its holy to blow yourself up

So there is some sensible stuff in this topic... I do agree that the Catholic Church is destroying itself with popes and priests. Sounds a lot to me like Judaism.

Meyer · « **Reply #29 on:** October 17, 2007, 12:32:01 AM »

religion isn't the power it used to be anymoe. in the old times popes and priests ruled but not anymore.

Mandalore-the-Inquizitor · « **Reply #30 on:** October 19, 2007, 01:23:43 AM »

i dont think these day that religion is at all useful

Meyer · « **Reply #31 on:** October 19, 2007, 02:46:10 AM »

but still people kill for it. so it is important to some.

Mandalore-the-Inquizitor · « **Reply #32 on:** October 19, 2007, 02:00:23 PM »

yes but these are fools from devloping countrys

Meyer · « **Reply #33 on:** October 20, 2007, 03:37:31 AM »

but still it's modern times. so you can't say religion is not useful.

Slornie · « **Reply #34 on:** October 20, 2007, 06:50:52 AM »

And even if you dont think that people should "believe" them, they are still beneficial in terms of morals and society, etc.

vadereclipse · « **Reply #35 on:** October 20, 2007, 07:02:11 AM »

some religions like buddhism have nice ideas (not that i believe in the bigger picture) and dont cause many problems.
christianity and islam, however cause problems.
don't get me wrong, i respect any religion, i just cant stasnd fundamentalism in religieon, like people who take the bible word to word. the bible to me i a book of good morals (except the bits like homosexuality is a sin, not that i am gay)

Meyer · « **Reply #36 on:** October 20, 2007, 08:13:36 AM »

and what about your views of judaism? it's very similar to christianity and they are the ones causing problems in middle-east. Personally I think that christianity, judaism and islam are three forms of one religion. and I also think that homosexuality is against nature. and should be banned. especially gays shouldn't be allowed to adopt a child. I hope they never get that right.

vadereclipse · « **Reply #37 on:** October 20, 2007, 10:29:30 AM »

judaism predates christianity and Islam. Nowadays, there are few problems between christianity and Judaism, but Islam has enormous problems with them
its because after 1945, the founding of Israel. If the allies werent so ethical and politically correct, there would be a hell of a lot less problems tosday.

Meyer · « **Reply #38 on:** October 20, 2007, 03:34:34 PM »

or if israel and all of those muslim countries that surround it would just stop the bloodshed. and that's odd in my mind. As far as i know the 10 commandments (or how it's written) are very important to jews. but still they completely disobey the Fourth: thy shall not kill.
