Why Do So Many Believe in Life Afer Death?

[sevenofnine]

I forget the name of the theory or postulate or what ever the fuck you want to call it, but a scientist put it forth, there is no life out there but our own.

If there was we would have found it by now, we have been looking for decades. it is gaining momentum as each year passes and we haven't found any,
There never was any life, the green zone or life zone that a planet has to orbit its sun is very rare, or they burned out like mars, to week an atmosphere or some such thing to sustain life. Or life really did take hold and flourish but they destroyed themselves in some nuclear Armageddon or biological
war or something,
Like I said we have been searching for decades scanning the heaven's, I even signed up once for the seti, you download a program to your computer and they send you some bandwidth for your computer to analyze in the background.

why if your god, do you need a back up plan. to create life more then once.

I don't think we really understand the nature of god, or the universe we, people,talk of god like we talk of string theory, its like what the fuck, we think we no so much. when in reality we know dick all about anything. what is god what is string theory.

some one once said if we actually understand the origin of the universe in scientific terms it will be like god they will be one in the same the god particle.

it really is way beyond our comprehension, but we live and die and kill for that matter because of some foolish ideology

If you honestly stop and ponder it, the only conclusion is we are totally fucking idiots.

Why do so many people believe that when they die they go to some place where everything is perfect and they'll get to meet up with all their dead pets and relatives, or score some virgin pussy?

Let me rephrase that. Why do so many people believe in a life after death? Answers [in a single word]: God. Love.

Isn't it just common sense that we die, and that's it? Game over.

Maybe for an atheist.

The actual opinion that is coming out of this thread is, that wheather you believe in life after death or not ..Wheather you believe in a god or not ..It comes down to that most of you believe man is the center of the universe. .there is no other like us and there just can't be . Because we are so unique. What a bunch of B'S.
And when you die every thing you are .. ever was . And believe will be gone with you ..I can rejoy over that.

an interesting thought perhaps

if you go to the very beginning of all things imaginable the beginning of time itself. science and philosophy or faith religion merge into one, the god particle creation what ever its the same thing, they use different dialectics to describe it, but there both trying to describe the same thing they know nothing about. its the same just different vocabulary different language to describe the same thing.

if you go to the end of time the end of science and religion again things merge into one faith religion tells us of god and heaven, science tells of transcendence, the merging of the physical with pure energy, or god like beings of pure energy and thought.

the beginning of everything the end of everything is the same pure energy, mixed with what we don't know but the creations or the endings of everything.

As an Atheist, no. It actually has more to do with skepticism. I have not seen any evidence to justify a belief in life after death. So there is no reason to believe that there is life after death. I can't know for sure that this is the case, but in my opinion neither can anybody else no matter how religious.

Lol.....pretty humorous. There will never be an end to science. Only real constant in the universe is change. As things change there always be something new to discover whether you are a human or a dung beatle. Religion is a human creation used to control and steal from the gullible.

Thx , peaceguy. Well done.

 

[sevenofnine]

when you know everything, and are god like, what else is there to know, I mean if you created the universe what can you do to top that.
when you have turned your consciousness thoughts being into pure energy, what else is there.


religion faith isn't a warm cuddly teddy bear, I suppose to some it is,

but it requires responsibility some thing to live by, it is in a sense a life long struggle,

Mother Teresa she constantly struggled with her faith and fought with herself and doubted herself,
faith is not a teddy bear its a responsibility that we will never really live up to unfortunately, it is a burden, like Al Pacino said in scent of a women its much easier in life to be an ass hole.

I was yesterday actually, it was quite easy to be one. an ass hole.

people who were martyred for there beliefs would you say there beliefs are a warm and cuddly teddy bear,
karl marx come on, a belief carries with it responsibility

Have you ever thought that maybe GOD got it wrong? Maybe Earth and Humans are like that first bookshelf you built. You know, the one that you moved to the garden shed. Not good enough for the house, not even good enough for the garage, but you don't want to waste the wood you used.

OR, maybe Earth and Humans are an alien science fair project. Well outside of the Universes populated areas because of the risk of explosion.

Immaterial Beings would have no awareness of time and about as much morality towards Earth and Humans as your child had for that cage of white mice. You know, the one that had a population explosion and you were dumping the babies down the toilet every few days.

You have chosen to ignore the teddy bear huggers entirely and try to address that topic using an opium addict instead in making a false argument.

Mother Theresa is the entirely wrong example for the line of argument you are making regarding my post. MT was a core member of an organized religion and thus a deep drinker of the opiated koolaid. The opium got her though her struggles. The same opium got the early martyrs through their tribulations. The RC church needs to regularly add new examplar saints to maintain relevance & potency of the opiate with new generations of cup sippers.

There is nothing special about a religious life and it is no greater a struggle to live a life guided by religion than it is to lead a life guided by empathy. No magical spirits required. Of course one can choose a stupid religion that adds needless suffering to one's life ( but then people are free to be stupid).

Lol.....that is my favourite movie. I still laugh seeing it. Although, Life of Brian comes very close.

mother Theresa wasn't a core member or anything nor did she drink any Kool-Aid,
she marched to her own drums.

the pope made a special visit to see her in Calcutta and would you belief she didn't have the time for the pope.
faith spirituality I'm afraid you don't get it, its not a church or a religion, they, I mean believers use the church for their own ends, as opposed as the church using the faithful for there own ends.

religions is simply a tool for people who have faith, not the other way around, nor is religion the only tool people who have faith have,
faith is something deep inside of you, and you, use what ever means you have to cultivate it.

I used to cycle four to five hours a day, people thought I exercised worked out, far from the truth, I like the inner peace cycling gave me, the adrenalin burned, the mediation it was in a sense spiritual for me. trying to find some inner peace.

I am so sorry I am not very academic or articulate but if any one is interested ideas on cbc,, the ultimate simplicity of everything, just go to cbc ideas.
there is a lecture there that says what I tried to on the laws of nature and physics how simply they are compared to life, and how they contrast life itself.

a very interesting discussion does not prove god or a creator does not even try to, it is just food for thought on how life is so much different then well not life. it life runs opposite in a sense the laws of the universe, he says it so much better then I

again I apologize I never really did go to school.
