re: What happens when we die?

You're reincarnated as a dung beetle (though some get to become a bot fly).

I wouldn't mind coming back as a tree or something...seems peaceful

Nothing

That is a good quote though I saved it...

The rest of the quote is the fun part, though...

All right, then, because it might make us feel better, let’s pretend the opposite. Instead, you’ll get tapped on the shoulder and told, Great news: this party’s going on forever — and you can’t leave. You’ve got to stay; the boss says so. And he also insists that you have a good time.

Think about it though...why the hell do we waste our time with schooling and a job...? What's the point? If we truly on get one go round at this thing called life why not live it to the fullest? Go explore every possible inch of this earth, frick anything that moves, love everyone because why hate people when you never have to be around them? Just do whatever makes you happiest in this life.

Welcome to hedonism as a response to an existential crisis.

You just get recycled back into earth. You are just ash or worm food. Or in some places, just rotting in a box above ground.

I for one believe that their is something else after we die, a spiritual life that every religion has gotten wrong. I have personally witnessed a spiritual event with at least 6 other people who witnessed the same.(i will not get into that on this thread)

I believe we have lessons to learn in this realm and we learn them in steps. Think of it like the school system as in grades. Every grade you learn more and move on and so on. I believe we have to keep being reborn until a certain level of consciousness is learned.

This is my belief and only mine and will never push it on anyone else. I think that knowledge of the universe is the answer to the age old question of what is the meaning of life. Knowledge of everything in the entire universe is what we all have been wanting isn't it.We just go about trying to learn it in different ways. Some use science some use religion. I just try to learn by thinking in studies of the spiritual and scientific combined.

What the heck does that mean

I used to not be afraid of death. Then I had children. Now I'm temporarily terrified it will come sooner than I need to put them on the right path. Once I feel I've done that (who knows), I'll not worry so much about it.

I believe in God. I believe in the after life. What I haven't wrapped my head around yet is that the after life is better. I "know" it is, but it's kind of a situation of the devil you know (pun not intended). I'd prefer to fulfill this life before checking out the next.

I'm less interested in man made religion every day, though I see the value in teaching my kids in that way until they can grow on their own. I certainly hope they can believe in God the way I do, but I don't feel strongly in forcing anything on them.

In short, I'm a confused man;
and I'm OK with it.

That makes sense though, so basically if I'm getting this correct your soul keeps getting reborn until you full reach some type of pinnacle that God has set out for you?

I mean it makes sense, but the problem is if that's the case then basically only saints have achieved this since the beginning of time and that's even if they did.
