OK, I was just kidding.
Here is the definitive conclusion on Life After Death.

I believe there is an after life. There has to be otherwise I don't see what was the point while living on earth. I honestly believe we will all join and reunite as one big family above the heavens. It just so happens people are different.
Not only is it 'more likely', it's highly likely, with lots of documented cases and evidence behind it. The human brain is capable of a great many self-deceptions. So I find it a very good thing you are unconvinced by such accounts! :thumbsup:I'd like a shred of evidence before buying into anything. First hand stories aren't very convincing. My mom has spoken and seen my nani after she passed. My mom wouldn't lie, but I think it's more likely that our brains are deceiving us over something without an ounce of tangible proof.

I certainly believe in a spirit world consisting of good spirits and bad spirits, the reason is because my aunt has seen an evil or bad spirit herself. She is a high school principal, but at the time she saw the spirit she was a vince principal at the same school. She was living in a small apartment and one day shortly after she moved in, she was watching TV, and a black misty/smoky mass in the shape of a person floated thru the kitchen in her peripheral vision. She pretended like it was just her imagination, but then she started seeing it all the time, and this spirit would always talk to her telling her things like "your daughter is lazy and irresponsible, you should kill her", or, " your mother is old, senile and a drain on your finances, you should put her out of her misery". It got to the point to where she would see this spirit day and night in her bedroom, bathroom and all over, and always the spirit would come to her with negativity in thoughts and words.
Well it got so bad, that my aunt finally decided she had to move, so she called one of her brothers, my uncle, to come spend the weekend with her and help her move to a new location. He agreed and got there on friday morning before she went to work, when she got back friday evening, my uncle said, "well i can see why you are moving , this place is haunted !", my aunt, who never told anybody of her experiences before then, asked him whey he would say that. My uncle responded that he had been sitting watching TV during that day, and a black cloudy mist floated up to him and began whispering in his ear to kill his sister, and then kill himself. My uncle, being from the hood, told the ghost to "fuck off", but nonetheless, the experience left quite an impression on him. My aunt moved that same day and has never experienced anything supernatural since that time.
The reason I especially believe this story is because my aunt and uncle, as well as everyone else on my mother's side of the family is EXTREMELY religious. But they are baptists, and baptists don't believe in spirits, so speaking of any type of supernatural occurrences is strictly forbidden. So for my aunt, who is a career proffesional educator, and who has never lied to me in life, to tell me this story, corroborated by my uncle, makes the story absolutely true to me.
So if there are bad spirits such as the one that haunted my aunt, there must also be good spirits and a whole spirit realm. I think what happens and where you go after you die has a lot to do with the kind of life you lived. But I do believe strongly that there is a spirit realm, and I do believe that it is very possible that you could see your loved ones again someday.
Very fascinated by this experience and both your aunt and uncle did not even freak out over that. Being that religious and not believing in spirits surely helped her get through that. Can't even comprehend what that would be like if that happened to me.
Steve Martin recently tweeted that the ghost of Christopher Hitchens visited him and informed him there was no afterlife.
"IS there life, is there life?
Is there life after death?
Do you believe?
Ohhhh yes."
I sure fucking hope so....because what we have on this Earthly plain, sure as hell isn't what I would call a picnic.
On a side note, I have dodged death and carnage on enough occasions to seriously question whether or not my devoutly religious. deceased family members are up there looking out for me.
There is nothing. Period.

I don´t believe in any kind of life after death. When you die you simply cease to exist.
Maiden is exellent !
The concept to me that death is the complete obliteration of the individual is terrible to me. Quite frankly, I would find it difficult to live a just and moral life if that were the case. Just screw people over, make all the money you can, do what is good for you, and everyone else be damned. That would be an acceptable way to live if death brought complete destruction.
I'll hold to my own faith, and take comfort in what I believe comes after death. Moreover, I'll be mighty thankful that I'm free to choose that which I believe.
We all have a soul.
People like Charles Manson, John Wayne Gacy, the fuckers who flew the jets into the WTC, child molesters, murderers, used car salesmen, will all have an afterlife filled with demons and nightmares. And their souls will wander aimlessly for eternity suffering more pain and misery than they ever placed on one of their human victim.
People like Stan Musial, Red Skelton, Billy Graham, and the like, will have an afterlife filled with eternal joy and happiness.
