Is there Life After Death?

December 17, 2010 9:26am CST
I was raised as a Catholic, and so I was thought about the existence of Heaven and Hell. As I grew up, and got older, I started to be kind of unsure of my beliefs. They say that people generally become more religious or rooted in their beliefs as they aged. As for me, the idea of where am I going still haunts from time to time. Death is such a dark and morbid topic that nobody would want to talk about. Shall we really reached that place above with golden gates and be asked to find our names in the book of life; Or be reborn again and had a second chance to life as Indians believe in the idea of reincarnation; Or, maybe, the soul goes to gradual stages until they reached the light; Or, it is simply the end of it all, if you are an Atheist.

well life is to learn and move forward until we learn everything that needs to be learned, the soul will keep re incarnating into a body and live one life time after another there is no heaven nor he ll if there is, heaven will be empty, because everybody makes mistakes, even after being pardoned LOL I am not Indian, and not only Indians believe in re-incarnation some religions try to systemize spirituality but this is impossible because spirituality is vast and unlimited it's like placing an unlimited shape into one box, it can't be done this is why no matter what religion someone has, he/she is prone to come up qith questions that the religion can not answer or somewhat contradictory that's why I left my religion last year, I found my answers in my new path in spirituality

I am not here to prove or disprove if reincarnation exists as it is up to the Individual to make his or her own conclusions but there are some startling reports of know persons who claim they have tapped into their past lives. I myself have taken part in past life regression and believe I have existed before, but that is only my biased opinion drawn through my own personal conclusions.I like the idea of reincarnation because it makes more sense dealing with cause and effect but not limiting every thing to Karmic reactions as we have Divine Wisdom and other attributes as Compassion that can hep us alter our destinies and assist others to ‘wake up’ from their sleep also.In terms of actual personalities or identities staying intact through this transformation well. I’d like to believe it.

I too was raised Catholic, and for many years, my behavior was regulated on the basis on what I did at that point would decide where I spend eternity. The more I thought about it, I decided that I was going to live my life as I see fit, and small strays away from the Christian values I was taught, would not negate a "good" life. That being said, I really do not know what I believe. I have looked into many religions, and have not found one that strikes down to my core as the correct religion to live.

i'm a christian ortodox, and i belive in god, also i can say that my faith defines me and my religion is "believe and do not investigate". let me give you an example : every time when I'm in an attempt and I think there's no solution, i lift up mine eyes to heaven and i pray, and maybe any so I can not find a solution, that annoys me so bad and I tend to say that there is no God, and then I realize that it was to be , that my god test my faith , and finally HE don't let me fall and HE light my way...and like this is with the end..i will let HIM to decide what to do..and i think to trust in HIM is all we have to do..always!! kisses!

hi,sorry to tell you,even though we are all trust God,may be different trusts in different parts of the world. But the fact is we have to trust the Big bang theory[Origin of Earth and Living things]..Mandel laws...
