According to Blood, Sweat and Tears:

Now troubles are many
They're as
Deep as a well
I can swear there ain't no Heaven
But I pray there ain't no hell
Swear there ain't no Heaven
And I'll pray there ain't no hell
But I'll never know by livin'
Only my dyin' will tell, yes only my
Dyin' will tell, oh yeah
Only my dyin' will tell

Lights go out and we're done. Do what you can to be a good person while you're here.

No. When we die, we just cease to exist. No Heaven, no hell, no afterlife. The belief that there’s something on the other side of death is the foundation of religion, which is why I find it so silly.

Yes, I believe in a heaven and hell. Hope I get purgatory and the best scenario after that.

Everything just likely goes black and that’s it. There’s zero SCIENTIFIC evidence for anything otherwise as of yet.
But yeah maybe my spirit will descend to a fire pit forever because I touched myself at night. Who knows

experienced paranormal activity both as a kid and adult so I believe there’s something after death.

I have a wild theory that ghosts are just holes in space-time and we see stuff and hear stuff from the past.

I used to assume there was an afterlife. These days I might say I hope there is but the more honest answer would be that I wish I had reason to believe.

There are certain instances of deja vu that give me the sense that there is an afterlife or reincarnation of your consciousness. How else can you explain those rare occurrences of deja vu where you felt you had been in a similar situation before?

I believe in God . His Son Jesus and the Holy Spirit. I believe in Heaven and Hell. I believe we are in a spiritual battle our entire lives on Earth.

So you believe this world happened by chance? How can you even put that into context. That is really hard for me to believe. Then I would say who created the universe for this to happen? You would say who created God. It's the same debate over and over but either way you are putting your faith in something.


How is this hard for you to believe? Do you realize how infinitely large the universe is? Beyond anything we can fathom. The sequence of events that had to occur for life on Earth to occur is mind-boggling... but the Universe is large enough that for it to have happened SOMEWHERE is not mind-boggling at all. It's similar to the Lotto but on a far grander scale. Let me put it in perspective for you...

In our galaxy alone there are an estimated 100 BILLION stars. That's 100 BILLION potential Suns, with potential planetary systems, that include planets in the goldilocks zone where life is possible. And that's just in our galaxy. Our galaxy is one of an estimated 200 BILLION galaxies. Milky Way is average size, so lets just say 100 BILLION stars is average for a galaxy. That's 100 billion times 200 billion potential Suns with potential planetary systems...

So while the odds of the required events taking place anywhere in the Universe are massive.... they aren't so massive that it couldn't happen once in 100 billion times 200 billion potential places.

The odds of winning the Powerball are massive, but if 100 billion times 200 billion tickets were sold with the odds of winning being one in 292,000,000.... there would be approximately 68,493,150,700,000 winners.

My point is, when you use the word "chance"... consider the odds and the sheer size of the Universe as we know it. When James Webb comes online in the coming months we're in for some exciting info.

and that's considering life to take place like here. our model of life does not have to ring true elsewhere.

Could be a misfiring in the brain related to chemicals/electrical pulses in the part of your ole noodle responsible for memories. They create feelings of super-familiarity even in situations the affected has certainly never been in before. Essentially the brain is confusing present events and places them into the areas responsible for past events/familiar events.

Thank you for saying this. Chaos and randomness aren't as chaotic and random when you consider the mind-numbing expanse of the Universe.

I truly believe the James Webb Telescope is going to fundamentally rock our world. It's very hard to conceptualize the vastness of our Universe, but we're mere months away from being able to (visually) access pretty much every corner of the known Universe. The discoveries they'll be making are going to be major.

No. Why would an afterlife be any different than a before life? Which is to say, nothing.
