I am agnostic, I know nothing in either direction that is strong enough to be a belief.
This forum is usually split into argument, black and white. At the end of the day we all choose for ourselves a pathway, powered by our own thoughts and feelings. That is the great mystery, the power of choice.
We are free to choose. . . .?????????

It's sad that people invest so much in an afterlife that they forget to really experience the one actual life they have.

Thank you. I do, We are the same. You , As I see from your posts back and forth with the Muslim gentleman on another thread , are better versed than I. I am simply stating a feeling that i get time after time after time. and... i am not sure if other people get the similar creepy feelings up the back of their spines as well.

Originally posted by whodeyi am not sure what it is that stays around and in what form it takes or lingers around as if you will. I do know and believe that the spirit , the will the being in most people is so strong that I can't believe that it just ceases to exist in any form at all once the body stops it's physical existence.
I suppose your real question is whether or not ghosts linger behind well after someone dies. Is this correct?

Originally posted by EAPOEKinda. It can be hard sometimes, but if we believe that the Big Guy will take care of us, there's really nothing to be afraid of. Even when we could die. We know we're gonig someplace better.
I respect your belief in the big Guy. . . Was just interested in what you say about feeling fear. Do you mean that you never feel afraid?

Originally posted by biggest bNo souls stay here. Once a human dies, their souls all go upstairs to the Big Guy. Then, if you were saved, you go to Heaven, if not, you go to the other place for eternity.

The things that pester us, make us afraid, make us sick, and so on are demons. When they do, and when you feel those feelings that you described, you need to believe in the Lord and he'll help you. Where are you when you feel like that?

(notice I use the word "probably" to safeguard against someone saying: "ah but how could you possibly know that we haven't found all creatures that exist in this universe?" just for the sake of splitting hairs without purpose)😞
It seems totally ridiculous that we human creatures die and go to some other ahem...*spiritual plane* whilst animals it would seem just cease to exist upon death.

Originally posted by amannionMaybe there really is an afterlife. If there is, I want to spend my time on earth trying to get other people into the "good"afterlife and not into the other one. A life used not trying to do that, to me, would be wasted. If there isn't, well, I can't believe that there wouldn't be one. The only other thing I could possibly believe in would be reincarnation into another human.

Originally posted by AgergAnimals go there, too! Even if they didn't, humans were created above animals to have a spiritual soul. Therefore it would make perfect sense for humans to go and animals not to.
