I’m curious to know what everyone believes. Being raised catholic, I was born to believe in a hell and heaven. For the past couple of years, I’ve lost my faith completely. I believe I’m more of an agnostic Or athiest now. I mean with all the wrong and painful things happening in my life, it makes me question why would a God let his people suffer? Yes lifes not fair but looking at the world and the people living in it makes me think what kind of god would let his people live like this? So therefore, I’ve completely lost faith. I hate to say it and although my families angry with me not believing in god. I hope that when I do go, I hope I either become nothing or get a new life where things are happy. What do u guys think happens after we die?

I was brought up a catholic aswell. I don’t think I ever truelly believed in god though. I’m more pagan now and believe there is life after death, whether your soul continues or whether you come back I don’t know. What I believe and what I want to happen are separate things though. I want my end to be exactly that, the end. I want total blackness and no awareness what so ever.
This is just my opinion so don’t shoot me but whether or not you believe in god why blame all the worlds problems on him? If you look in depth at all the things wrong in the world you will find most of it is man made. We create our own problems then expect a higher being to make everything alright again. We have free will, we choose to start wars, leave people starving in other countries, destroy homes and the world. When I say we I don’t mean any one in particular just us as a species.
I’m athiest although I was christened as a baby. I don’t know what to expect after you die.. I want to be reborn though & have a second chance at life, hopefully born into a happy one.
Yeah thats all I want from death really.. to be born again.
If your born again aren’t you worried things will just repeat themselves again and again in a cycle? Thats my fear.
@socialoutcast- I feel the same way too. I feel if I get reborn, I’m going to end up living the same life or an even crappier version. I just wish I had a second chance at life. I’d do so many things over that maybe it would have prevented me from being this depressed.
You’ll might be in for a surprise, you will die to this world and be born into the world of Spirit….safe journey.
I too was raised a Catholic, but I don’t believe in heaven or hell, they are man’s creations. After you die, you understand the meaning of it all, the source of it all. You have choices like you do now, if you want to be born again or not, and how to treat your afterlife. You may review what you have done in life, and change it (I don’t know how it works).
If you are a suicide victim, you will have to go through the lessons you missed in life. But the afterdeath is safe, there is compassion and much love, for all of us.
Was raised Christian too,but Atheist now
After you die you cease to exist physically and mentally and become waste.
Would you get cremated or buried?
@ i dunno What belief is this
You do not cease to exist…you’re consciousness goes on. You’re Spirit is eternal…that’s what’s in your body right now.
In my opinion, we can never know..
at best, we could only *guess* or *infer* from whatever ‘beliefs’ or ‘knowledge’ or ‘glimpse of evidences/proofs’ that we’ve got/heard/read.
but even that, it’s already obvious from this website alone that different individuals often tend to have different beliefs,..which makes u wonder what’s the “correct” one…
*Logically*, I think it would be VERY easy & very-simplistic (ie: like Occam’s razor way, philosophically-speaking) to just simply say after we die, there’s nothingness, everything cease to exist physically, mentally, and become nothing, like noom said above.
However,…we do have to think though: if that’s simply the case,
then why or how come there are many (if not all) of us who DO feel, even talk, discuss, and ponder about a thing called *AWARENESS* (or in other words, *Consciousness*) ??…
I, until this day, still find it personally quite ‘amazed’ of how most (if not all) humans often seem to be *born* with this capacity to at least THINK ONCE about *Awareness (Consciousness)*,..even if you don’t really believe in it!
if this ‘mystery’ is true,..then it might probably point to *Something*
*Something* that we probably could never know 100%,
yet,..many of us often can just simply ‘feel’ it…
and could that ‘it’ be…..an Afterlife??…or at the very least, a continuation of Soul/Awareness/Consciousness??…
makes you think/wonder, isn’t it…
And keep in mind this one very utmost important thing:
Though Logic is good, yet Logic is NOT and can NOT explain EVERYTHING in this universe,…let alone many ‘unexplored mysterious’ dimensions of Universe (or Multiverse?!) that we simply haven’t known yet,..limited with:
1) our mere five-senses
2) existing only in a tiny fractions in the age of Earth, let alone Universe!
3) and still ‘limited’ by the Three-Dimensions (3D) of length, width, and depth.
so really,..what makes us think that given those three ‘limitations’ above,
Logic could really explain *EVERYTHING* ??….
it frankly just doesn’t even make sense to me, *logically* speaking..!
I jus wouldn’t wanna go to hell or suffer in the afterlife.
There are 3 levels of heaven or Kingdoms: Celestial, Terrestrial, and Telestial.
If you have not recieved the gospel of Jesus Christ or rejected it in your life on earth
then you will be sent to spirit prison. At this point you still have your free agency
so you can still accept the gospel and leave spirit prison to dwell in Paradise. Only for a short time, until the resurrection.
So if you reject the gospel, either on earth or in spirit prison you will suffer in a state of “hell” until all your sins are forgiven,
then you will recieve the lowest degree of glory of heaven: The Telestial kingdom.
But you will be resurrected first then judged before your placement into one of the three degrees. Or to Hell. My religion is Latter Day Saint (Mormon/Christian)
I think we simply become what we were before we were born.
@sad – and what was that?
Nothing
