*In no way am I trying to convert anyone, so Goatboy, stay away :D*
I am fine with these beliefs. I believe what I want, you believe what you want. The thing is, none of us will know until we're dead, and if God does not exist, we probably won't know even then.
I want to believe I am here for a reason. Not because two single celled organisms created in the forming of the Earth, mated and evolved.
*To keep Goatboy happy, I'm not saying this scientific explanation is impossible*
I also want to believe there's something for me when I die. If there is not, what is the point in living. It's pretty hard to reason with, but I've come to the conclusion: If there is no God, no afterlife, we will have faded into oblivion. We won't have our memories or our thoughts. We will not exist. So what is the point in living life? We will never remember it. If we are in the middle of something when we die, we won't even have eternity to THINK about it. So, why don't we all just kill ourselves.
You could say - live life while it lasts, or have fun before you die, but to what end. nothingness. We won't be able to reflect on the good or bad times. we won't remember what fun we've ever had. So fun is something we will remember till we die, and then have no memory of. As you get nearer Old age, you will think about it more. try to live life to its fullest before you die, have a good time. But it will be pointless. You wont remember yourself. you won't BE.
*Goaty, I suggest you relieve your anger before reading any further*
I there was, but some fluke or another, to be a God, life would be worth living. All the good times you would remember, have your achievements locked up inside you. Your love for family and friends would carry on. Even without body, YOU as a person, would have your personality and your thoughts to accompany you into heaven. You would know your life contributed to the human race, and that you were there because someone put you there, not because of a scientific fluke.
I don't know what exactly heaven would be like (well duh!). I don't know if you would be able to watch the Earthly world carry on. I don't know if you could interact with other dead people.
there are two main views, which can be tailored to suit you:
1) That heaven is a physical place. you interact with things, people, objects. It is a world like Earth, where you have a body, sight, taste etc. you can hold things, kiss make love etc.
2) heaven id the ‘Third Place’ :D It is a spiritual being. you have your soul, you thoughts your memories. More like a state of existence than a place. You have no body, you cannot hold things. But you are still ‘alive’
That is the main Christian religion.
There are other beliefs, like reincarnation. I do not like this theory, as it is the same as my original viewpoint - you cease to exist, have no memory of a previous life. So I could be a person’s 8th generation body, and have no recollection of my previous selves.
There is the belief of ghosts. you become a spirit when you die, to haunt other people, or leave them alone. you are still your own person. You have memories and thoughts.
Then there is my favourite, and appropriate to Special Reserve, as its about gaming. i heard this on the net once, and never forgot it: we are really omnipotent beings in a video game. To pass the time these beings step into a virtual reality Earth, have their memories temporarily wiped, and play ’life’ for a few years, to pass their everlasting lives. If this were true, when leaving the simulation, I would have a different body, but the same memories, thoughts.
If you think about it this way, science is the only let-down theory (beside reincarnation). It means you just get deleted from time and space. Depressing eh? The others give you at least some hope for the afterlife - at least you will have memories.
