If it wasn’t for belief in the afterlife I doubt there would be very many religious idiots as that what keeps them going for their religion.

i believe nothing. it is possible that there is a transference of life energy into the next existence, & so on, but i have no evidence of energy surviving physical death (except for two separate experiences were this seemed to be the case). i live this moment, which more than suffices.

Having memories of a past life? I do. But what is important is that this is my life. Now. It is insanity to look backwards and expect to be illuminated on some damn foolish spiritual quest.

The more you think about it the more irrational the whole idea becomes. Do you go straight to a 'better place' or does you 'soul' 'sleep' in the grave until the 'resurrection' ? Perhaps you are reborn as another person ? The whole idea is ridiculous the more you try and reason it out. It seems that our 'egos' desire to go on to some better place somewhere. But the reality is that death is exactly what it looks like. Once your dead , you don't even know your dead as there's no one there anymore or anywhere to know anything. Kind of puts a real 'zest' into life and living doesn't it.

I don't beleive in any of that after life stuff.... well not anymore. That's why you should go out and have some fun... don't wait to do it in an after life...
