I'm nowhere near a hippie.
Oh, there are virgins in Heaven. But you don't want virgins. You want Hippies. And there are no Hippies in Heaven.

Yeah, this is a dumb question. I don't know how you think anyone would know the answer.

The Bible says that those who confess their sins and profess faith in Jesus Christ, believing that He is the Son of God, who became man and died for our sins, will have eternal life in His kingdom.

I confess that I don't believe in Jesus, I'm half way there, woot.

In my opinion, Humans are just another species of animals competing for survival. I dont believe people have souls or spirits or any other nonsense which lives on after you die. Your brain/mind is your life, and when you die, so does your brain and that's that. IMO, there is no afterlife, reincarnation, hot sex with supermodels (damn...).

Now to put that in perspective, everyone knows that living things die. When people kill a fly (which is a living thing essentially the same as humans), do people believe that those flys have an afterlife? that they are reincarnated? that they have hot sex after they are dead?

Of course not! So why should our beliefs on life after death for humans be any different?


As a side note, I believe the concept of life after death was created by primitive man who needed a way to put order into society. If society knew for a fact that once you die, that's the end, then people would do horrible things without regard. Now with religion and life after death, people are told to life virtuous lives and to strive to have a good afterlife which is pretty much a false sense of security and a big illusion.

This is what I believe as well.

if he really is the son of god...
why does he need people to believe in him?
self-centered?

I'd imagine its very very similar to being in a deep sleep (not dreaming) that you cant wake out of.

Some people DO know what death is like. Ask someone whos been nearly dead before being resuscitated.

Heaven is a nice thought, but clearly total BS. Death dont sound too bad to me since once youre dead, its not like you care, its the dying part that sucks.

Well you die, and your soul goes through this light at the end of the tunnel. At the end of the tunnel they wipe your memory (not unlike a quick format of a hard drive) and put you in a new body. At first it's warm and wet, then one day you plop out of your mother's womb and life starts all over again.
While your memory of your previous life is "gone" a good hypnotist (like a good hard drive unerase utility) can pull up memories of your past life.

This is another answer to your question. :)

After your soul goes through the so called "Light at the end of the tunnel,' who is "they" who transfers your soul to another body... sounds like a bs science fiction flick.

Yes I know this, but what I don't understand is why educated and intelligent people continue to believe in age old "folk tales" regarding life after death? How could the people who wrote the bible understand what life after death was if they themselves haven't died?
