Do you believe in any kind of afterlife?

[Ninja Decoy]

I cant say for sure whether there is one or not, so pretty much i don't necessarily believe in the afterlife. If there is one, cool. Lets hope the God in charge of said afterlife is kind. If not, also cool. I'm somewhat neutral on the subject.

And pretty much this

IMO anyone going to (a fictional btw) hell is terrible. nobody deserves torture-- once they are dead they can't do anything wrong, so just let it be. forgive them.

i find it pretty repugnant to threaten someone with eternal torture for anything. especially if it is just a personal belief, like don't be gay or follow my god.

I find that its kinda silly to have a religion that claims to be "All loving" when if you dont believe in it/have doubts, you get damned to the worst of torture. Kinda forgeted up, having a god that gives humans free will just to damn them to hell if they pick any religion besides that one.

like seriously if god exists he is a TERRIBLE person. couldnt he just make all life exist in a state of ever-increasingly awesome climaxs from every cell of your body for all time or something? seems like that'd be a lot more fun than "testing" people with life or something.

question: if god is all powerful, he can do anything. so can he create a stone so heavy he himself cannot move it?

The world was perfect before the fall. When Adam and Eve sinned, they cursed every living thing with death. However, with the downfall of sin also came the power of free will (aka the power to make choices; "the knowledge of good and evil"). There is a pretty good C.S. Lewis quote regarding it.

"God created things which had free will. That means creatures that can either go wrong or right...And free will is what has made evil possible. Why, then, did God give them free will? Because free will, though it makes evil possible, is also the only thing that makes possible any love or goodness or joy worth having."

Actually dinosaurs weren't turned into fossil fuels. It was all single celled organisms and stuff, like ancient planktons and stuff.

When you are dead everything is nothing.

But luckily nothing is also everything.

It's still not very nice that he's killed millions of humans in forms of floods, plagues, and the well rounded smite.

However, it's probably one of those instances where the Bible shouldn't be taken literally, as if you do that, it starts to counteract the morals it tries to pass off.
It's a great storybook and teacher, but yeah if you take God as literally as the words in the Bible tell him to be, I can at least say he wouldn't be very fun at parties.

Yes, but I do not accept Jesus Christ as a Lord nor savior, I believe that Lucifer is the real savior. Not only did he give free will, but he accepts those who Jesus will not take. I believe hell will not be as bad as it's depicted in Christianity.

It reminds me of a computer program that was programmed to learn NES games and play them flawlessly, but when it couldn't learn how to play Tetris (as it requires thinking ahead, which it was incapable of), the only solution for it was to pause the game indefinitely, as the only winning move was not to play.

[Flamecannon]

oh yeah that's called playfun or learnfun
wish the guy did more things with it

take THAT

[Machaty]

Because there is no evidence supporting the claim of an afterlife, I do not. But like a lot of people, I do sincerely hope there is.

This. Except I def hope it's not the Christian afterlife, cause if it is I'm going to hell along with all of my close friends and a few family members.
