Is there life after death? |
What is it we will not really know until we come upon our last day, but some people that have " died " and came back to life always seem to report positive things about their after life experiences.
I am not looking forward to leaving this earth and this life but nothing I can do is going to change the fact that we all have to go sometime, I am not going to waste my time fearing that day and nor should you.
I believe there is life after death. I am a Christian and believe what I have learned in the church. I often times have dreams of people after they pass and I always feel like it's their way of letting me know that they reached the other side and that everything is ok. I guess we all wont know for certain until we cross over.
Even if you are not a religious person there is possibility of "existence" which is in the way is life. When your computer burns up and you throw it away it is "technically dead." But even if hard drive is crushed, the information or "soul" still remains on it. Same happens when you delete something out of computer. You techincally do not delete it, but "write" other information over it thus it is not destroyed and simple remains there. When you burn wood you do not excatly "burn or destroy wood" you simply "transform" wood into carbon charcoals, fire and other released atom particles. This is in a sense when your body decays and your computer or "brain" decays into dust, the information and soul have to go somewhere since unlike computers human brain does not have capacity of "deleting" or "rewriting" information on it. There been instances where people have been declared "clinically dead" by doctors, who came back to life and told about their experiences "beyond." Thus there have to be something that awaits for us in afterlife, but whatever it is I cannot conclude. It could be god like religions claim. It could be the void of cosmos like some agnostics claim. Who knows maybe it is even true like some so called psychics, mediums, and diviners claim you simply die physically but you are still alive in some "astra" world. In any case there is strong possibility for "afterlife" even though there isn't much of scientific proof. There is some but not solidly conclusive.
John Milton had it right--we make our own heaven or hell. There is an afterlife because there have been too many stories of near death experiences and ghost encounters. How can there not be life after death? My own personal view is that after we die, our spirit goes where it is most comfortable. If we were ready to pass on, we go to be with the Source. If not, we go somewhere else until we are ready for God.
There is life after death. There is either Heaven or Hell. That is why God sent his only begotten son to die on the cross to open the gates of Heaven. Although Christ died on the cross for us He did not do everything. We must still try hard to prove ourselves worthy for salvation. God gave us a free will. We must chose the best!

1) Every living person is part a people which live forever via procreation and birth. Basic morality implies that it good to consider future in terms of generations on earth. This is the world our parents left behind for us. We are creating the world which our children will be required to live in. These facts are so obvious that most people say "no duh" or "everybody knows that".
If we spent mental and physical effort in consideration of future generations like we spend it on a various afterlife concepts, then the world would be a better place to live in. The sooner we begin to continually discuss, consider, and speak in terms of child, grandchild, great grandchild, great great grandchild and generations without end, the sooner we will be creating a more considerate world for our children. And the sooner we will be living in that world.
2) The concept of an afterlife inherently demands the concept of an afterlife judgement. This thinking hands judgement over to a higher power. Thereby diminishing judgement here and now. Judgement belongs to each and every one of us.
To remove the scapegoat of after life judgement by a higher power requires moral comprehension to maximize punishment for immorality and reward for good productivity here and now. The result would greatly reduce crime and spread more reward for productivity. Which would, in turn, create a better world for our children which would soon be all of us. We can have haven on earth, all we need to do is believe that we must create heaven here.
In conclusion: There is no need for religion or morality to be joined to an after life. Religion and morality can easily be joined to a provable death overthrown by birth concept. Generation to generation is what we are. Generation to generation is a solid foundation for a religion and may be associated with a higher power or creator.
If there was life after death surely someone who has died would have already returned from heaven and shown the current living people of earth that there is truly life after death. If God had the ability to create the whole universe and created the heavens and the earth and has all power over it then he would have the ability to send someone down from heaven to give us the 'heads up'.
The concept of life after death does not make sense to me. I don't see myself or others floating around in the great beyond, or being reborn again as someone else. I believe that you have one life to live and, when you die, you're dead, and that is the end for all of us. I see nothing wrong with that. It inspires me to live my life to the fullest and to enjoy each day. I've never seen any real proof that there is a possibility of life after death and, until I do, I can not be persuaded to change my mind on the topic.
The idea of life after death completely contradicts the meaning of the word death itself. You are basically saying people survive death or "dead survivors" which is logically impossible. Secondly,I have just not seen enough solid evidence to prove to me that there is life after death,but science can prove things to me such as the big bang.
