Not really but sort of? I like to believe theres something to look forward to after death, or like reincarnation or something. God-wise, though?… I think often religions can be really wrong. I do also like to believe there may be some higher being, but I can’t quite tell you whether I really think they exist. My highly religious family (not like my household but one side of the family) has invoked some fear in me. But honestly, with so many religions in the world, if one of them does really exist, it’s a hit or miss. So… again, not exactly, but I do kind of think of a “god.”

I can tell you that there is no hell to be afraid of. You're cool and gravy :)
by (154k points)
You can be as cool and "Gravy" as you want, but there is still an afterlife. And you GRT to choose it.

If you want Heaven, then in your Lifetime you call on Jesus and ask him for forgiveness of everything you've done wrong, you believe that he died on the cross so that you can go to heaven if you call on him, and confess and say sorry for all your sins.

If you want Hell, then you don't do anything, you live your life. But when the day comes, you will spend and eternity in Hell.
by (486k points)

Yes.

According to the bible, that is.

If you don't follow things like this, Sloth, and you don't believe in God nor do you believe in Satan, you just spend your afterlife in a peaceful place. You can follow this dude if you want, but don't do stupid things on the name of Him.

Not saying the things Christians do is stupid, just saying that some people.take it too far and misinterpret what the guys are saying.

Nothing you do is wrong as long as you don't hurt anybody. "Satan" hurt a lot of people. You didn't, therefore, you're not going to the same place as him, no matter what you believe.

This is simple logic that can even be applied to the bible, which I am no follower of.

All I'm saying Sloth is that you shouldn't be intimated into forcing a religion on yourself because you think you're going to a bad place because of it.

You don't have to listen to me, just know that life is more free of worry when you don't worry about going to a bad place because you have different beliefs.

But you're not going to any bad place. You're going to a good place because every person has a good heart. :)

by
Also, why does Satan punish people who don't believe in someone he doesn't like?

And yes, there are so many mistranslations (the meaning of a word changed over time), so some people do that.

And yes (I said that again, I need more variety in my words-), people say people are shoving things down people's throats and people are here saying that you need to be Christian and not leaving you alone with arguments people didn't want to start (not saying all Christians are like that).

Yeah, same-
by (154k points)
There is 2 places you'll go after this life. Heaven or Hell. No amount of Good or Bad things he you do can change that.

Right now while your heart is still beating YOU can choose. If you want to learn how to go to heaven make a separate post asking me how you would do that.

But if you decide not to, you will go to hell after this life. And why would you risk it? He'll is a miserable place that is full of fire, and heat, and pain and suffering. THAT NEVER ENDS.

I am.not trying to force it on you or push it down your throat, but please, think about the afore mentioned info. There is nothing good about hell, but heaven will be wonderful.

Okie dokie shmokie.

That’s exactly why I don’t have a religion.

They tell you there is something to fear after death.

They take and take and take and tell you that god will provide.

You give them money, and time, and your life.

They don’t give back.

What if there is no god to provide?

I’m not going to dedicate myself to some religion because otherwise “I’m going to end up in a place of suffering.”

God isn’t a good person if he won’t let you into heaven unless you believe he exists. He should only judge actions, decisions, things like that. I shouldn’t be giving my all to him if he isn’t a good guy. And like WN said, why DOES Satan/the devil punish people for that? It doesn’t make sense.

Humans aren’t a trustable race. We only have each other and a dang book (that HUMANS wrote) to rely on when it comes to religion. Can you really trust that?

You can’t really know if he’s real. Fighting is pointless. And honestly, if that’s what I see at the end of my life, so be it. Because I’d rather be in misery then have to go to a brainwashing heaven if God really is the person everyone says he is.
by (486k points)
I couldn't have said it better myself, Sloth.
by

Yup.

@Sparklerose

Why does that happen? That we're punished for not believing in someone by someone who doesn't like them? 

And tbh, I'd rather go to **** than a homophobic Heaven. (Which, all the things people say about how they can't support because the Bible says not to, doesn't make sense, because it was merely a mistranslation due to the old meaning of a word changing.)

I don't have a religion. Where does that leave me? 

If I come across as rude, please tell me, because I don't mean to be.

However, I do agree with Sloth.

by
Why do you think you are afraid of death? You conscience knows there's a God don't egnor it. In the end every knee will bow and every tongue confess that he is God.

You know, I kinda like the fact that the amount of Christians on here isn't overwhelming anymore :)

MAYBE WE GET A LOT MORE LGBTQIA+ SUPPORTERS THIS WAY! (not saying that everyone who is Christian doesn't support, just that most of the ones that are on here and are Christian don't support. At least from what I've seen. But I have seen some Christians who fully support. Just saying, though. This may be a little too much of an explanation, sorry XD)

I believe in reincarnation sometimes. Like, do people who do horrible things get reincarnated? Do you, like, live different lives in different times and cycle.through those lives every time you die? (Ngl that was a literal shower thought-)
by (486k points)

Yeah, everyone goes to a better place, no matter what they've done! There really is no Hell (Nether, of course, for MCN's sake) or anything, so I guess you could say there's always and only a "Heaven"!

And, until you awaken to know the truth of what you are here to do, in my opinion, you keep being reincarnated! So I guess I am some sort of Buddhist...? I dunno :D

I feel like everyone goes to H*ll (I'm only putting an apostrophe there for people who don't want to see the full word even though it's usually fine in this context.) But there are different ones, I guess? And there's a specials spot for me and all the other LGBTQ+ people who actual l want to go.

Also, in the afterlife, I do have a few things I want to still be me when I've passed away.

*ahem*

Because I'm gay, I want some pride flags. (yes, I do say gay because although I'm omnisexual, I like boys, like, maybe 6% to 23% of the time, maybe a bit more than that, but I am still omnisexual) and I forgot the other ones but still.

Allow me to invade this lovely conversation mladies :)

My personal opinion is that there is an afterlife of some kind where everyone goes. Not the heaven or h*ll gibberish. I'm always told I'll go to h*ll because I don't believe in bearded sky santa waiting up there for random folks to trudge upon his doorstep.

And when I get to this afterlife, whatever it is and wherever it is, I'm going to find Techno and hug him :)

Reincarnation I only believe in to a point. I believe that people get reincarnated as a human or animal or plant or whatever,  but I never really spend time thinking about it.

I think people spend however long they lived in the afterlife and then go to live a different life.

I was raised in a household that heavily believed in God. My parents were Christians but we never went to church or anything. I thought I had to believe the same thing they did, but I dont.

I'm an athiest, but I don't really mind if people are religious. People can and should be allowed to believe whatever they choose. I respect and love all religions.

No. I support anyone who does believe in a god (or gods) and their religion, but also I, personally, believe there isn't a god.
