Nobody know for certain. Those with faith, believe that your soul lives on. But even with faith, we don't know for certain. We won't know, until we die.

you won't know after you die either.

we do actually know that we are put into the earth when we die, and no one
has ever proven that anything else happens, so there is no reason for me
to make up stuff that might happen, or wonder about anything else, which
is all just belief, it is not just belief that we do die and go into the
ground, even if the ashes are thrown into the air, they still settle on
the ground, or into the water,we do know that.

The body we were attached to goes in the ground and we go to heaven or we go to hell or we get confused and hang arround old buildings moaning and making chain noises. That's what I want, smoking hereafter grass, scaring people at dinner and moving dishes and chairs around in some old place with creaky doors. And then hanging out in the house garden.

Now that is an ambition I can relate to.

When you die, you get posted on this thread.
It would be really cool if the dead person made a post on this thread, letting us know what its like over there. I flat lined a couple of times but I was not over there long enough to a lay of the land.

We have people who post from several levels of reality so a post by the dead wouldn't surprise me in the least bit.

Yes, well, everybody lives in their own reality but some seem to be on another planet. I know from my perspective, I sometimes feel like I'm not on this one when I encounter some on here.

Perspctive. That's when you can be llike a bird and see down someones's path without them being aware you are there are and can see that the path leads the wrong way.

Where does that come from? I think the indications are that we might, so you better be a good girl just in case! :lol:

I am a good girl, but not for any of those reasons, I won't waste my time on useless information. lol

there is no indication from anywhere that we might.

The body we were attached to goes in the ground and we go to heaven or we go to hell or we get confused and hang arround old buildings moaning and making chain noises. That's what I want, smoking hereafter grass, scaring people at dinner and moving dishes and chairs around in some old place with creaky doors. And then hanging out in the house garden.

where do you get the 'neat' clothes and chains.

You could easily argue that human beings came from the earth. The plants we eat and the plants animals that we eat eat draw nutrients from the earth. The elements that make up our bodies are the elements that make up the Earth, and life has been using these elements for billions of years. Compounded use by animal life and plant life, growing, flourishing, decomposing and being used again, makes us very much made of the earth (and let's not forget though a significant portion from the sun).

Yes. Absolutely and SOLELY BIOLOGICAL. Nutrients, elements, decomposition. Since this existence is purely biological and nothing more then it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if I live a "good" life or a "bad" life. There are no "consequences" for my decisions in life.

Do you believe these lies? If you can't provide a better answer to the question in the thread title than you one stated, then you are essentially agreeing with such nonsense.

Is there a heaven? Is there a hell?

And yes, religion seems to be the key to knowing where that path may lead, thus the chaos between religions and beliefs!
"accuratepsychic?" I hope you're not so deluded as to think that's a good description of yourself, or anyone else. There are no legitimate psychics, the phenomenon is not real. Religion's not the key to anything, it's a delusion. It's a delusion generally approved of by most cultures so it's encouraged rather than suppressed, but it's a delusion nonetheless. There's no good reason to believe there are ANY supernatural beings, from gods to tooth fairies, they're all cultural memes that have no reality outside the realm of ideas. Everybody's an atheist to some degree, nobody seriously believes in any of the ancient Greek/Roman/Celtic/etc. gods anymore, they're all extinct by any reasonable measure, but in their day they had followers no less devout than any modern Christian, Jew, Muslim, Hindu, etc.

Deities and religions are quite specific to cultures, and nobody believes anymore in most of the tens of thousands of deities and belief systems human cultures have invented over the millennia humans have existed. We've got just a few big ones left and there's no good reason to think they have any more reality than any of the others, they're just human inventions. To claim otherwise, you must also believe that for at least 100,000 years the god or gods watched humans dispassionately and did not make themselves known while we suffered and died from preventable disease and childbirth and predation and malnutrition and war and a thousand other causes, then suddenly decided to intervene a few thousand years ago. But not by telling us anything useful about hygiene or medicine or science or how to get along with each other, but by showing up demanding we love and fear them (beats me how you can do both) and should follow a set of unexplained rituals for which they'll protect us. And until the rise of modern science (which WE invented, the god or gods didn't give it to us) we still continued to die of preventable disease, childbirth, etc. Or else you must believe, contrary to all evidence, that the planet is only a few thousand years old, the god or gods have been with us from the beginning, but still didn't tell us anything useful about hygiene or medicine or science or how to get along with each other. No version of the story I've ever heard makes any sense to me. So I'm an atheist, I think it's all BS, and I can no longer be kind about it.

Is there a heaven? Is there a hell?
No, there is not.

It's true to the point of being both hilarious and sickening. Hilarious in that some people don't know what poverty is and sickening that some people can discard what would be considered "great wealth" to 90% of the world. Oooooooops guess I've strayed from religion to economics. :lol:
