I don't care that much about death since you really can't do much about it.
People get tortured every day so much that they forget they're human beings and lose themselves in madness, that's WAAAY scarrier if you asked me.

What if, all of this in theory, of course, death is the end, if afterall we humans are no more than bones and flesh? Would you be able to see life as a promising gift? Would any of you be able to?


First of all, any kind of belief is a theory sadly, but true. Let me continue saying that I do fanatically believe in the existence of some kind of god. It would really go waaaay to far off to try explaning that part, but IF you have to add god into this game, I'll have to play too. Right?
I did not quite understood your connection between good and life after death. Are you trying to say that you believe in god and therefore afterlife is a given? Dude, I do think that's just hilariously naive and slightly delusional, but hey, I might be the one being crazy, so I'll try not to start calling names :D
Finally for what you just said about japan:
(I friendly ask only Po and those who are willing to read some harsher words to open the next spoiler. Thank you.)

PS:
What the hell did that have to to with my question?
I asked you direct and simple questions in a theoretical manner. = I asked you taking in consideration that you most likely believe in the afterlife and yet you manage to completely ignore that.

I'm just worried that some fundamentalists out there could get the best part of younger people's minds.


I just really didn't think it's right to say that people, anyone for that matter, deserve tragedies as the ones happening right now.
As for the matter of the bible. I happen to have worked quite a lot with the bible and it's origins during past studies. I don't say catholicism is bullshit or anything, but many things we might see as main elements of catholicism were added up over the centuries rather than at the beginning of it.
I used to be a very religious catholic and I still do believe that the god of my childhood is still the same I believe in right now. None the less, I wish to warn you not to believe in everything the bible says without questioning it's origins and values.
I might be pulling the wrong rope right now, but still... would you mind answering my question?
What if, in a completely theoretical manner, there was no life after death? What if, after death, there's nothing left for us? would you still be able to see death as an opportunity and a new beginning?

Does that sound like heaven is the one reality?
At the very least, they seem to be óf equal worth for us humans, since we are held responsible in both of them.

I get that. I don't either.
Life is way too short too lose time in trying to grasp one of the ungraspable things for us.

yes i do believe Heaven is one reality. but i don't know if I'm one of the lucky ones who will get there i hope so..CJ tnx for being so calm and friendly sorry for my idiotness hehehe! i hope we can be friends, or best of friends...i really like ur ideas! Do u mind u like writing a book in ur dreams? bcoz u create or shud i say open some new ideas for discussions..

I'm really not that smart.
I just happen to have an absurd amount on knowledge on theology, psychology and one or two other things. In everything else I'm an ignorant retard... trust me.
As for being friends, gladly. I'm always glad to show new ideas to talk about.
I am no fan of science myself, since they appear to think that everything they aren't able to see or analyse is non-existent.
Example: In economics (my major) there are very few ways to analyse human values such as responsibility and trustworthiness. We already know what happens when people who work on our money do not take in count such elements.
Death might sound without a heaven harsh for some, but I know enough people, I count myself as one of them, who would gladly prefer not to exist rather than to have to keep up existence, pain and ultimately madness for eternity.
I say this of course under the thought of man moreover his self-aware mind as not evolving subjects.
