[quote=MerGirl][quote=DoomedOne]Here's what's after death: This world. Your family, your children, grand children. Your friends' children

Here's what Heaven is: leaving this world in ebtter condition than as it was when you entered it

Here's what Hell is: leaving this world in a worse condition than it was when you entered it.

There, afterlife. See? great isn't it? Also, more definitions:

Soul: The memory of you that lives on in people's minds. Your lasting advice and guidance of other people that will help them make the world better as well.

People fear death so they want something tangible after death. Well, I think the enxt generation of people is tangible enough.[/quote]

But what about other afterlife's? I'm pretty sure people have different views on afterlife. What about those who believe in reincarnation, etc.?[/quote]

They distract people from the bigger picture.

Here's some background for you guys. I used to suffer from acute thanatophobia, or fear of death. My family was christian, so i assumed the only palce for me to turn to was christianity, and the idea that heaven existed helped me. But I had the sort of personality that just liked to pick things apart and analiyze them, and it got in the way of my religion. How could God consider himself such a good judge of character? Why do unborn babies have to sit in limbo until God figures out what to do with them if he's such a supreme being? Why do homosexuals go to Hell? What if homosexual saved like 300 hundred people from a burning building? Etcetera. So, eventually it wasn't belief in Heaven that got me through it, but just accepting death as an inevitability and not dwindling on it. It took a while to finally hit the revelation. These days after I wake up and suddenly think, "Time flashes before my eyes. I'm going to die someday." I later think, "So what?"

Some people need an afterlife to help them deal with issues, but for those that don't need it, I suggest you live for today.
