IF ghost existed. & I turned out to be one of them, hanging about trying to rech my loved ones, failing everytime I think it would be VERY SAD.
Hungry Ghost from the buddhist belief are even sadder.
People who are easly pissed off should work on their sense of humor as tragedy is often closely linked to comedy.
After reading that post I wondered about being a ghost, if you would indeed be conscious as an entity.
Would you have a limited awareness? Would that be part of a divine "punishment"?
Trying to reach trough and failing everytime. what if you where a geographically displaced ghost, would that be possible? What if you die in a nursing home. Would your spirit be locked there while it tried to get out to reach out to whatever comes next or a loved one?
& also nothing wrong w/humor and mocking as long as it is not malicious, insulting or mean spirited.

That right there sums up what I believe. So if you believe in nothing..your spirit will have nowhere to go.
hmmm? dont understand that one.
I believe in Jesus Christ and have accepted him as my Savior- so yes, i believe in heaven and hell.

Someone said earlier they found it sad that people believes in ghosts/spirits.
No one can solidly prove spirits exist, just a feeling, same with god. No one can solidly prove god exists, just their own personal experiences. There is no photographic or scientific proof of God. If anything, of the hundreds of pictures takens of orbs, ectoplasm, sprites, ghostly apparations, i dont believe that 100% of them were staged. Where are the pictures of god?
I do not believe in afterlife.
No, you wouldn't be destroyed. You just won't exist. Kinda like how it felt before you were born... remember that?
I just looked at the Google Earth satellite photos of Darfur. 9 more villages destroyed since this time last week. Thats over 1 a day. One of them had an estimated population of nearly 300, with the survivors wandering somewhere in the Sudan.
Darfur, Chad, Virginia Tech, and now all these copycats calling in threats to universities all over the US.
I'm starting to believe that God wrote this place off as a failed experiment, and left. He's not here anymore

no matter how much you love you kids, you have to let them grow up.
and so far we dont seem to being a very good job of it
This thread has me thinking about Edgar Cayce, aka "The Sleeping Prophet." He was a strict christian in his normal waking life but in his readings, he spoke of reincarnation. I do not subscribe to any religion but his "sleeping" definition of a soul was one of the sweetest things I've ever read. "Sweet" is the best word I can come up with to describe how I felt as I read it the first time.
I can't find the exact comments I previously read but here's part of a Q&A from Cayce readings:
“Q: Mr. Cayce, what is the soul of a body? A: That which the Maker gave to every entity or individual in the beginning, and which is seeking the home again or place of the Maker. All souls were created in the beginning, and are finding their way back to whence they came. Q: Where does the soul go when fully developed? A: To its Maker.â€
From Cayceâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s perspective, “the study of subconscious, subliminal, psychic, soul forces, is and should be the great study for the human family. Through self man will understand his Maker when he understands his relationship to his Maker. He will only understand that through himself. What one thinks continually, they become; what one cherishes in their heart and mind they make a part of the pulsation of their heart, through their own blood cells, and build in their own physical, that which his spirit and soul must feed upon.â€
That's just so very cool, I think!
What's amazing is reading a thread on such subject matter with no one becoming rabid.

LOL yeah I remember that like it was yesterday! Anyways I don't believe in religions... I maintain my own opinion until my day comes I will not be brainwashed by religion! I'd rather get my answers from the exact source not by mere mortal opinions or guesstimations!Originally Posted by Godiva

Very well said. God, a Higher Power, inner concious, whatever, doesn't protect, it guides. The devil is real but he doesn't live in hell...he lives on earth.
I think there is enough inherent good and evil present in humans that whether god or the devil exist, or don't exist, and/or are present on earth instead of their respective domains.. probably doesn't ultimately matter in how the role of good and evil plays out, if that makes any sense...?
note: I was doing this while on the phone with the IRS, so forgive me if it doesn't make sense... these people are mindboggling.

The IRS? Now there's proof that the devil exists...

I believe that after I die, I will go to Heaven. All of my family, friends and pets will be there.
Some days I believe there is a higher power and a place to go after we die, and then other days I really have to wonder...
