I hope so, I would like to go somewhere and not just "stop existing" Somewhere nice, like the place in the movie "Nicky" or something with Adam Sandler xD That place was nice :3

Alila: Whats the book called? It sound interesting

[Alila]

It is really interesting but it's by russian author so I don't think you'll be able to read it.) The title is simple: "There".

like in Cher's song.
do u believe in after life.
answer is yes.

[Vergil the Fallen]

I do...but there are doubts there too...i mean its really scary if you think that there is no life after death...its like a full stop...u die, end of story...

[CannonFodder]

Hmmm I believe that there isn't anything after we die, that the bodies that we have are all that we will ever have, and once we die then it ends there. Our minds, thoughts, bodies just stop.

I don't believe in Ghosts either. But... having said that, I have had some strange experiences while in a room with no one else around like a hand softly pressing onto the back of my neck, it even felt warm :s, and I've also been woken by someone/something shoving me from one side of my bed to the other (I've had that happen twice, and the second time it happened I woke up as I was being pushed).

No, I do not.

To me the notion of an after life cheapens life itself. I think man had trouble when he realised his own mortality and constructed an object of comfort, either in hades or heaven. Some have stated that they find the idea that this is it as lacking, boring or even depressing. To me the preciousness of life demonstrates why we should value it so highly and make good use of the time we have. Though we will all die, we leave a piece of ourselves witht he legacy we leave to those generations yet to be born.

No, you are not my friend, Pascal was the one who originated this line of thought. However, he only considered god or no god, if we find out that the "god" is not the Judeo-Christian one we'd be in the same boat. I also think he greatly undervalues that wasted time. This world and life is something to be treasured, to waste that, to me, is a poverty.

ofcourse i do my friend i dont like the idea of disappear just like that lol xD

I sure hope there is, and it is better than this life.
