Do you believe in life after death?. Following being diagnosed with cancer my life was put on stop, my world changed instantly. I and my family were in shock but I was not mad or asked why me?. I was however mad at the system that allowed me to get in this situation because there was history in my case that appeared not to mean a thing. I then had experiences that only convinced me that there are stranger things in heaven than on earth. Not a stranger to mystical events in the past I started a mission to work with cancer

I'm still having a hard time believing this isn't a hoax. Please tell us more of your experiences and of your cancer diagnosis.
Sheesh, this is just going around in circles. Psh.
So you were diagnosed with breast cancer (duude.), gave to charities, lobbied for a cure, met a girl that smacked some, I mean "baptised" you with wisdom, and had some spectacular um..mystical experiences together?
My apologies if I took anything out of context.. I'm just really trying to make sense of your mumble-jumble celestine prophesy-like random rambling. You voted for Bush, didn't you.
[edit] Grix Thraves, is that you??

I dont really see what this has to do with Life after Death. All you have said is that you have cancer and then had a mystical experience. So does anyone want to discuss in life after death?
As many of you may know from other discussion topics, Im a Christian. I believe in the biblical view of life after death. Heaven and hell and all that. I actually dont know too much about it now that I think about it so its something I shall research. What I mean by that is that I couldnt explain particularly well what heaven or hell are like, just that heaven is full of the glory of God and that hell is absent of God and all of his creation, or something like that.

Ignoring this post completely, I hope there isn't a life after death. That idea sucks.
Sorry I can’t tell you my cancer the filters on this chat room won’t let me tell you!!!
Its ok to say breast but a guy Prost-te is not allowed. Equality doesn’t exist here.
Ok I am on here for a sensible discussion I’m no fool or timewaster. I believe in freedom of chose that’s why we exist till we learn and move on to higher levels. A creator exists depending on your faith, which faith is better than the other is a man made doctrine or who has a stronger army than the other.

I would suggest, for the benefit of this thread at least, that we give old Merlin here the benefit of the doubt and accept his story.
Many of you are obviously sceptical, and struggle to believe such as story as it is not common for something like this to be posted in such a way. Try to keep the negative thoughts for another thread :)
Anyways, so Merlin, do you mind telling us what kind of experiences convinced you of a, higher plane, shall we say?

I disagree with this. I dont think there can be more than one right answer. If Christianity is true then everything else, by definition, must be false. The same applies to other religions too. Just because someone believes something it doesnt make it true. There cant be a situation where a monotheistic view and a polytheistic view can both be true at the same time.

This is exactly why i'm against any sort of religion with defined rules. The notion of "We're right and you're wrong" irritates me immensely. I shouldn't have to validate my life according to other peoples beliefs, which is what i find myself doing everytime i get into a conversation with anyone religious.

If you take the two options of (a) there is a God and (b) there isnt a God (We'll ignore the ideas of "which God" and "how many" for the time being) only one of those can be right.
If you believe either of the statements then you will automatically think that you are right and contradictory beliefes are wrong. and that works which ever view you have.

I've taken the 3rd option of
(c)I'm open-minded but i'm not commiting to anything (Agnostic).
Now having taken that 3rd option, i wont criticise or tell someone that their choice is wrong but i will defend my right to sit on the fence. It doesn't seem to be the same for those who have made the choice though. Like i said, i object to being told how to live my life or that i'm not living how i'm supposed to be. It happens everytime i get into a conversation with anyone religious and i hate it with a passion.
