As a kid I was brought up in a church, believed all that stuff, but the logical thinker in me needed to know where it would be, what form it, and we, would take. And how come all the other religions would be excluded from it just because they believed in a different one. There is no soul, no spirit, no deeper meaning. We are who we are until we're not.

That is amazing! Vote comment up 3 3points Vote comment down reply #6 I believe that we won't find out what it's all about before we die, but maybe we won't after either. What I do know is that the religions can't all be right - there can't be both 1 deity and several; we can't go into an afterlife and be reincarnated; and of course, the 72 virgins thing makes no sense (at 1 a day, you'd be through the lot in under 4 months, then what? Harassed for eternity by 72 ex-virgins who'd been dumped after a one night stand?). Given the choice, I'd like to be a ghost who can travel the universe - there's lots of the planet I'd like to see, and as a bit of an astronomer, seeing other planets and galaxies close up would be awesome (not to mention other life forms).

My perception of an afterlife is a bit like this. I think that if there is an afterlife, it's probably some kind of ghost-ish thing. Because to me that makes the most sense.

It just depends on the amount of baggage you want to rid yourself of, but also the people that you want to say goodbye to. Report Add photo comments POST #14 I believe that there’s an afterlife—heaven and hell. I believe heaven is a place where true beauty, joy, and goodness all exists. It’s what earth was intended to be before humans ruined it. I believe it’s perfect unity with God. Since God is love, wisdom, peace, goodness, I believe we, for the first time, truly understand and get to live in that.I don’t know exactly what I believe about hell. I believe it’s real but I don’t know if there’s levels to it. There’s Scripture that seem to indicate as much. That the punishment will match the crime.As far as who goes where, I believe that God has that authority as He created us all. I don’t know that anyone deserves perfection for all eternity (heaven) but I believe God also doesn’t want people to be punished either. However, sin has really screwed up people. Think of what the world would be if people weren’t selfish. Instead we horde and live self-centered lives while we let others suffer and, in some cases, intentionally cause that suffering. I don’t believe that humanity is good based on our history. So, God did the most selfless thing He could do— in Jesus, He provided a way for a restored relationship with Him even though it meant taking on the highest form of suffering in the cross and even going to hell. If people accept that gift, then He gives them a forever relationship with him and that includes being with him where he is. If people don’t want it or don’t accept it, then they continue on to where they were originally heading.As for people who have never heard, I don’t know but I know that God is just. He will do what’s right by them.

The question is “what do you think the afterlife is like,” ofc there’s gonna be religion involved in some of these; the question is literally asking about their beliefs! Nobody knows the answer, so it’s merely an opinion that you don’t have to believe if you don’t want to. Vote comment up 12 12points Vote comment down reply View More Replies...

If a soul is evil beyond redemption, then I don't think they go to eternal torture i.e. Hell (which the bible states is for the fallen angels) but have what is called the Second Death which is the death of the soul - they simply totally cease to be.

He was abroad in England and they told his family to be prepared to retrieve his body.The talk he gave to our class was really amazing. I believe that there is something else out there, but most of us are not attuned.

Heaven and hell are experiences that happen here and now. I've had both. I don't believe anything exists after the last breath and heartbeat. I want the afterlife to be this: access to the universe to zoom across space and time and be everywhere at once or nowhere. My husband is back as my best friend and partner in crime. There is a rainbow bridge where 20+ animals wait and excitedly greet me with a melody of barks, meows, neighs and moos. A perch where I can be close to my still-living daughters, watch over them, and even intervene sometimes if I can—a reunion of friends and family, but not in heaven and not with a G-d. A place with no strife, everyones experience is curated for peace and doesn't depend or intrude on anyone elses. Vote comment up 2 2points Vote comment down reply Anyone can write on Bored Panda.
