Do you believe in an afterlife (why or why not?)?

One of my favorite Saturday Night Live episodes dealt with near death experiences, in which everyone they interviewed went toward a light, where they were told to take a number and sit down.

To me, it's all just a bunch of wishful thinking that somehow you'll get repaid for whatever good or bad you do while your body still functions. Maybe I'm wrong, in which case my only hope is for a room in hell with a Lake-of-fire view.

I think folks should be more concerned about what they do while they live than what happens after you're dead.

The promise of "life after death" was made up by religions. It panders to man's greatest fear, that of death.

Promising that if people behaved according to a religion's rules, that they'd live "forever", religions have kept people in line and paying their tithes.

Did Elvis believe in religion? Cause he's kind of 'living forever' isn't he?

the reason I conceptualized 'REALITIANITY' was to develop a 'God' concept that I could believe in .....

basically I was raised in the right wing extreme Christian church where they 'speak in tongues' and all that sort of stuff....the weird thing is I always thought those people were crazy i.e. they would say the 'saw a demon' but I saw nothing...they would say that 'God was talking to them' but I heard nothing....etc.......so i came up with the lowest common denominator and it is this...

SOMETHING created EVERYTHING that exists and it doesn't matter if that SOMETHING was a 'scientific process' i.e. evolution or a 'spiritual deity' either bc we can never VERIFY which one did it....all we can know is that SOMETHING created EVERYTHING and so we should call that SOMETHING "GOD".....so if a person believes in REALITY they automatically believe in my version of 'GOD' thus making REALITIANITY the largest religion in the world :cool
