re: For those who don't believe in God

What happened before life?

Probably not as good as the posters being young pieces of shite that think they have everything figured out until life cold cocks them their overprotected little faces.

Depressing AF to think there's nothing after

It can be depressing if you dwell on it but it's an utter waste of time to do so. Focus on enjoying your time.

I’d be more inclined to believe in an afterlife that doesn’t include God. With that said I don’t believe there is any afterlife.

What do you think happens after death. Depressing AF to think there's nothing after

Emotions have absolutely nothing to do with what is true or not.

why

The ones I know call themselves free thinkers, however they are the most narrow minded people I know. Usually just repeating what they've heard rather than putting any thought or research into what they're saying.

Believing in an afterlfe just to make you sleep better doesn't make it true.

That being said I have no idea what happens after death and I won't pretend otherwise.

Actually for us, it's depressing to think that there's something after.

Neither you nor I know whether this actually happened FWIW

Everyone has a free will. Whether one believes in God or not it does not matter. Anyone who consistently disobeys God will spend eternity in hell.

I could not muster enough courage and tried to get away, but he held me back. "Try it," he insisted. Gripping my arm firmly, he pulled me to the wall. "Only one touch," he cornmanded, "so that you may say you have both seen and touched the walls of eternal suffering and that you may understand what the last wall must be like if the first is so unendurable. Look at this wall!" I did intently. It seemed incredibly thick. "There are a thousand walls between this and the real fire of Hell," my guide continued. "A thousand walls encompass it, each a thousand measures thick and equally distant from the next one. Each measure is a thousand miles. This wall therefore is millions and millions of miles from Hell's real fire. It is just a remote rim of Hell itself."

When he said this, I instinctively pulled back, but he seized my hand, forced it open, and pressed it against the first of the thousand walls. The sensation was so utterly excruciating that I leaped back with a scream and found myself sitting up in bed. My hand was stinging and I kept rubbing it to ease the pain. When I got up this morning I noticed that it was swollen. Having my hand pressed against the wall, though only in a dream, felt so real that, later, the skin of my palm peeled off.

Bear in mind that I have tried not to frighten you very much, and so I have not described these things in all their horror as I saw them and as they impressed me. We know that Our Lord always portrayed Hell in symbols because, had He described it as it really is, we would not have understood Him. No mortal can comprehend these things. The Lord knows them and He reveals them to whomever He wills.
