After we die..

Wednesday, October 10, 2001 by Draginol | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

You know, on this website we've debated everything..

Well...not everything. We've debated politics. We've debated ethics. We've debated capitalism (many times).

But we haven't ever discussed religion. Can you believe that?

My son asked me this weekend what happens to people when they die. I copped out on it and said that I didn't know because I haven't died before.

But it got my wife and I thinking. What happens after we die?

Why think about death. It's coming, you can't avoid it. It can be over tomorrow. Just make sure you've got your burial insurance thingy (so you can get a good looking box and stone) and focus on things you can control or do something about.

Anyway, go BoXXi!!

Crae,
"focus on things you can control", this is exactly what I mean.
Live your everyday life as your last day, then you will be more your self and you will really enjoy it.

mental note: more investigation needed on methods of joining the ranks of the walking dead; prefer to keep/improve personal appearance, but not a must

Nothing wrong with myself, adni18; I just want to be Billy Bob Thorton, so I can be married to Angelina Jolie.

"What happens after we die?"

Do you really expect an answer?

This is a flame post waiting to happen. You always get this type of "informed" post:
"I don't believe in any God or religion. I believe the church made up religion to control people". "Only flakes and idiots believe in the Bible". "I hate holy rollers". "More people died in the name of religion than anything else".

This is a fact. If there is no afterlife whatsoever, there is no point in life at all.

I'm a Christian, so I believe our conciousness lives on after our phyisical death. I have a friend who's an atheist and doesn't believe in an afterlife. The way I see it, it's a win-win situation for me... If there IS an afterlife, I'll get the chance to say "Told ya so" to him. If there isn't one, he won't be able to ruib my nose in it

Hmm, Chimpman, I haven't seen any flaming in this thread and it has quite a lot of posts already. Seems that it _is_ possible to discuss weighty subjects such as religion and death without fighting.

Yes, It is possible to discuss weighty subjects such as religion and death without fighting... but I haven't seen it until now. I'm as pleased as punch!

Of course around here, religion and death aren't as weighty as skinning. Politics probably falls somewhere in the middle - depending on who's discussing.
