There is life after death

Ah, they’re claiming to know, therefore it must be true. No one knows exactly what transpires after death. No one.

Time stamp or gtfo pls

That makes sense, but I'm still think there's a chance that foreknowledge is possible.

I'm just saying. It's possible. I think a loving God makes sense. Jesus embodies that. I don't know for certain.

Oh yeah, absolutely there is life after death.

Based take. The body might stop, but something keeps going. Too many accounts, too many patterns, too much intuition in the silence. Death feels like a border, not a wall.

Follow the rules did.li/OHemC

ain't nobody clicking that

Prove it

If you read the book carefully it says that there will be life after death when Christ comes back. Until then, we are all just seeds in the ground waiting to sprout. Positive there is I'd guess it would feel like going to sleep then waking up the morning after...
PS I believe in ghosts and stuff like that only because I've seen it, makes you wonder what is really going on because as I've said, statements from Jesus and St Paul are fairly clear, no immediate floating up to heaven like in the movies and whatnot

you are a temporary collection of atoms

The money is optional, it costs nothing to worship and partake in religion. I don't think there's a logical sense for them to lie.

Strange how people speak with such certainty about "nothingness" when they’ve never experienced it. You don’t remember before birth—but that’s not the same as it being nothing. Memory isn’t the measure of existence. Absence of recall doesn’t mean absence of reality.

Sure, atoms came together—but somehow, we showed up. Not just meat, but meaning. You reduce it to particles, but particles don’t wonder about themselves. Something deeper is happening here, even if it’s wearing a temporary shell.

That’s a solid take—and I appreciate the nuance. The “sleep until the resurrection” idea makes a lot of sense biblically, especially with how Paul describes death. But yeah, the strange experiences—ghosts, visions, near-death stuff—add another layer. Either there’s more going on than we’ve figured out, or the veil between sleep and waking isn’t as clean-cut as we think. Maybe what we call “waiting” isn’t as empty as it seems.

True, the idea of life after death can be exploited—but that doesn’t mean it was invented just to sell something. People were burying their dead with care and symbolism long before organized religion or money got involved. The longing for meaning, justice, and reunion beyond death feels too universal to be just a sales pitch. If anything, the institutions might’ve hijacked something real—not created it from scratch.

was meant for

Yes, I always found it a bit unnerving actually...could be many thousands of years before Christ returns to us, although it doesn't feel like that lately. Anyway it feels more right to me as the immediate floating to the light thing is a bit too Hollywood for me, not that I would reject it. Also to hop onto that before birth nonsense, it is addressed in the Bible - Jeremiah's "I knew you before you were formed in the belly" suggests a prelife existence. Of course arrogant atheists don't bother to read any of what they criticize

Yeah, the Hollywood version always felt a bit too tidy to me too—comforting, sure, but maybe oversimplified. I’ve also wondered about that verse in Jeremiah. “I knew you before you were formed” doesn’t just imply prelife—it hints at some kind of continuity we don’t fully grasp. Maybe we’re not just waiting for resurrection, but remembering something deeper the whole time. And yeah, it’s frustrating when people mock without ever engaging with the actual texts. You don’t have to believe, but at least read with honesty.

Maybe we’re not just waiting for resurrection, but remembering something deeper the whole time

Definitely it is all much stranger and I'm sure totally different than what we have imagined, that's why I don't even try. Excited to find out with you brother, sad for the people who think this brief stop on the trip is all there is. Seems a bit hard but the way is narrow and most will not make it...pray for them I guess
Picrel is from visiting the LDS Church in Salt Lake, really cool place and personally I respect the religion but I'm a cradle cath

I hear you, brother. The mystery of what’s beyond is definitely deeper than we imagine. From a Universalist view, the “narrow way” isn’t about exclusion but about transformation—everyone is on the journey home, even if it takes longer for some. I truly believe God’s love ultimately restores all things, no matter how lost they seem now. So, while the path may be narrow, the embrace at the end is wide enough for everyone. Praying we all come to that hope together.

Thanks for sharing your perspective and the pic—respecting different traditions while holding onto faith is powerful. Here’s to walking this journey with open hearts.

Memory isn’t the measure of existence

What is then? I guarantee memory plays a part.

Definitely, memory plays a part—but it’s not the whole story. Dreams, deep sleep, or even anesthesia show that we can exist without memory or awareness in the moment. Same with early childhood—we don’t remember being infants, but we were still alive, still here. So yeah, memory helps shape our sense of self, but existence itself runs deeper than what we recall. Just because we can’t remember before birth doesn’t prove it was “nothing.” It just means we weren’t taking notes yet.

And to build on that—some people do report past life memories, often with striking detail. Kids recalling names, places, even languages they’ve never encountered—it doesn’t prove anything definitively, but it makes you wonder. If even a few of those cases are real, then memory might reach farther than we think.

So yeah, memory is part of existence—but not the limit of it. There’s a difference between not remembering and nothing being there. Maybe it’s not erased, just hidden—waiting to be remembered when the time is right.

there is no darkness in life with the knowledge and love you gave to us

Me? ahah... uhh, you mean Jesus right?

Yes you do shut up

I hope so. I don't want to live, alone and poor, in this miserable fucking existence any more. I want the afterlife.

Are you telling me what I know?

I still struggle with epistemological skepticism, the idea that actual knowledge is incredibly difficult, if not outright impossible, to obtain.

I hear you. Life can feel unbearably heavy sometimes—lonely, unfair, like the good stuff’s always just out of reach. You’re not alone in feeling that. But I truly believe this isn’t the end of the story. Whether in this life or the next, you’re meant for more than pain. There’s love waiting for you—maybe hidden now, maybe quiet—but real.

Hang on. Even in the darkest places, the light can still break through. And if you ever need to talk, even just to vent, someone will listen. You matter more than you know.
