Replying to Life After Death?

The very concept of afterlife seems to be very vague, what we have been made to believe through years is that some people turned into horrifying ghosts as they could die a natural death, I mean were tortured to death or faced some sort of an accident which caused death, they would have had a lot of wishes unfulfilled or could not do away with the attachment they had with their loved ones,hence couldn't rest in peace. If you say someone goes to Heaven or Hell, I would say I believe both these concepts are on the earth. You need to pay back for your deeds right here before you face the end of your life. Moreover, if we really believe in the Divinity, then what makes us feel that some evil can manage to hide on the earth?

The point that I actually try to make is that it is difficult for me to find anything that doesn't have concrete evidence, credible. According to me, we should believe in life, as it is worth enjoying, so, afterlife, for being so uncertain ,is no life at all.

My dear child, there was NO media or TV or anything like that 4000 years ago, and people belived...Without faith, when you DO finally find out for sure, it will be too late. If you are a good and honest person, it is not so hard to live up to His expectations...

I do not believe in anything after death. There is really no proof of anything happening, only people that believe that they have
died and then come back to life saying that they saw a "light". THATS ALL, i think its mumbo jumbo when people say there is a heaven/hell,
and others( i have nothing against religions/beliefs) but , really we need proof (when i mean proof, facts)
if it is really true; really u cant say there is really anything after death,
u'll just have to wait until you pass way.......... So ill have to say MAYBE.

wow, nearly half the people voted "YES, I do believe in after-life".
I voted no

here is the question for all you believers:
if you lived in a remote place, without TV, Internet or any other access to the media and no church either, would you still believe in the after life? I mean would you come up with the whole after-life idea by yourself?
If not, you are just a follower of the media/hollywood ideas. You might as well then believe that we're all just batteries and slaves to the computers(the matrix).

sorry if I offended anyone, but that's just my view on the after life

Even if there is life after death, what difference would that make? Knowing nothing about what would happen after you're dead does not hurt, I think.

What I believe is different than what I think is true. Personally, I believe in God and heaven, etc., because I like to, and because I do. When I think about it in a non-religious context, however, the only thing that makes sense to me is that there is none of that, we just die and that's it. I rarely think about the second option, however, because the first is just much more pleasant to think of.

Well im a muslim and im supposed to belive in life after death that is heaven/hell. And i completly do belive in life after death. and what is so unbeliveable in that?

There are some real weird theories, assosiated with this..Some cultures belive you are born as a butterfly before u are born as a human again.

And then there are ones that don't even believe in afterlife, such as Buddhisms.

One freeky thing i remember is that, there was this one kid, where i came form who knew every single little secret of this famous actor. And many belives that it was him reborn.

But don't forget, you're taking a HUGE risk there, for if there is an afterlife with God and Jesus and such, the fact that you disbelieved can get you some time in Purgatory. Which is just basically you're between Heaven and Hell and 'serving your time'.

Yeah I think my feelings at the moment -- sometimes I switch back and forth day to day -- are that it doesn't really matter what happens after life. I'm pretty sure nothing happens, but it's still pretty irrelevant. We might as well just have fun well we're here since we were fortunate enough to have a conscious mind that enables us to feel and do as we please. We could be sad when something happens, or we could just decide to let it go, get on with precious life, and have fun while we're here. Then, if there does happen to be an afterlife, we can just reminisce about how much fun we had while it lasted on earth!!
