I used to think it was a load of nonsense. I still do I guess, but I dont see any other rational explantion of why were here. It’s fine to say the idea of God is nonsense, but to say that you have to have a logical alternative explanation, and as far as I know there isnt one.
Something brought the Universe into existence. As far as I know a Universe cant will itself into existence. The Universe has only existed for 10 billion years. If the Universe had always existed then the idea of God would lose points, but it hasnt always existed.
Something had to happen to bring something to absolute nothingness. The Big Bang theory suggests that an Atom created the Universe, but the Atom had to come from somewhere.
Therefore in the absense of any other explantion God is as good a theory as anything.
If there is a God and he willed a Universe into existence, I dont think raising a few trillion dead bodies would be too hard for him.It dosent really matter. If there is an afterlife then great. If not you’ll never know that there wasnt as you’ll just blink out of exsistence.
As I get older I just feel that there’s something more to it. A lot of things are just too complicated to be random.i just want a life before death please :roll: :roll: :wink: :lol:

Yeah!…I know what you mean!
I wish there was an afterlife, as long as it was an enjoyable one. However I have to say that we have no evidence that there is an afterlife and, looked at rationally, it seems a highly unlikely concept.
Afterlife is a clever sales patter that religions have peddled as a surprisingly effective incentive to attract converts and control the faithful. If a salesman tried to sell us a computer printer on the basis that it would last for ever and never go wrong we’d laugh our heads off, yet people believe the false promises perpetrated by ‘men of God’.
It also puzzles me why people are so prepared to believe what the men of God say when they are completely the opposite about politicians! At least polititicians talk (and lie) about the real world even if they don’t always appear to live in it! Why is it that if Tony Blair says that London is situated on the River Thames people don’t believe him yet if the Archbishop of Canterbury tells us that Jesus walked on water people DO believe him?
There’s got to be something else out there But if you realise we are limited to what we can understand – always looking for logic – there could be something way above our comprehension
hence : What you don’t know , is what you don’t know , you don’t know

Yes, totally agree with that, also why should the exsistence of an afterlife have to be proof that God exsists?…
yes I do believe and yes i have personal experience to convince me.
I dont believe in any god or a typical heaven and hell scenario, but as our bodies contain energy and energy cannot be destroyed, it can only be changed into other forms, i believe we do carry on to exist, but i doubt that existance is what many of you are expecting, no angels playing harps im afraid :wink:
so for those of you who don’t believe in an afterlife how do you explain that when some people go to visit mediums/spiritualists and suchlike, are given information that only they would know about?
