So what's in it for the animals?...don't you think it is a bit mean that God lets you and me be humans whilst he lets turkeys be well...food!
Is there some strange kick to be had by creating creatures subordinate to human creatures that would kill just for sport even, and not compensating them for this misery by virtue of an afterlife?

Originally posted by biggest bDo you know much history about the place you are currently living? Places that are "haunted" traditionaly have a history of some kind that involves people dying in tragic ways or involve people who dabble in the occult. For example, the story I provided earlier about the woman who lived with someone who dabbled in the occult witnessed supernatural phenomenon because of her friend's dabblings. Also, a common indication of such activity are "cold spots" in a room. Does anyone else sense a presence?
i 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.
My theory as to why this occurs is that such "hauntings" are due to demonic influences. Often these demonic beings linger behind in areas that have been prone to great evil in the past. It is almost as if they have been empowered by other people who have commited evil acts to inhabit certain areas and more than likely they are territorial much like we are. As far as people lingering behind, however, Biblically this is not supported. Once you die you are taken away. Granted, the demonic realm may mimic those that have passed on as to disguise their true identity.
Do you know one of the most haunted places in the US? It is none other than Gettysburg which is the former sight of one of the, if not the bloodiest battles in American history. Those demonic entities had a field day that day and I think do not wish to leave. You know, its all about the "good old days".

Maybe 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.
Spend all your time thinking about what comes after if it makes you feel better. I'll focus on what comes now.

That's called guilt.
Nothing supernatural about that.

Originally posted by AgergTurkey's don't have a soul. And I'm sorry. I misunderstood my pastor's sermon on this subject. I asked him about it, and he told me that not all animals go to heaven. If a wolf is running around somewhere and never even makes contact with a human, it doesn't go to heaven. It, in fact, doesn't go anywhere. A pet however, would go to heaven because of it's companionship with man. A pet brings us joy, so God brings in into Heaven to be with us.

Originally posted by amannionWell, fine then. If there isn't, my life has been wasted. But, what is the point on being here if there is no hereafter? In this case, I'll agree with the Hindus: "It's just torcher."
Now there's a good reason for believing in something - 'I can't believe it's not like this'.
