I disagree with the premise that others should be allowed to trample on me, or anyone, that does not believe the way "you" do, so, yes, I have to occasionally point this out go the tramplers. Usually, not very sweetly...too bad, so sad.

No

I'm agnostic. I want proof before imbracing an idea.

Until then I have a lot of theories, most based upon scientific observances.

So far, reality for me seems to be that there is one all-encompassing life source that is responsible for all that is that creates/comprises the entire Universe.

Everything that exists is a type of vibrational energy that emanates from this Life Source.
There is electromagnetic radiation (radio, infrared, visible, ultraviolet, x-ray, gamma ray)and the sequence from longest wavelength (radio waves) to shortest wavelength (gamma rays) is also a sequence in energy from lowest energy to highest energy.

Each color of the spectrum of the rainbow is based upon the electromagnetic spectrum includes, and includes (longest) radio waves, microwaves, infrared, optical, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma-rays (shortest) other colors and waves are a variation of degrees between these.
This "Lifesource" that mankind has called by many names and umbrellas under the term of "God" is the physical manifestation of all that exists, and that all things contain a spark of that vibrational energy that brings about "life" and that through these vibrational energies life is self-sustaining.

It has been proven through radio, TV, phones, and many other ways that it is possible for vibrational energies to become projected toward one specific location and affect the end result.
A primitive form of this people is prayer, some call it meditation, some call it spells, but from a scientific perspective, it is possible.

I feel that we each have our lives in the here and now, and it's up to us to make the best of it that we can. We are going to have similar but different obstacles to overcome. These obstacles will teach us about life.

There is no benefit for us to worry about an afterlife. That being said, there is not a one of us that can know for certain what happens to us once our life here is done, but we can explain the science of what happens.

We can know that the molecules and neutrons and protons that make up our bodies break down and are released into both the atmosphere, (heavens) and the Earth (hell). Consciousness as we know it now ceases, and we (the neutrons and protons that our consciousness was made up of), is joined with the source that created us.

Our 'heavenly mansions' that are refered to in the Christian Bible, are the astrological houses in the atmosphere is in at the time that we lay down our lives as we know them here on earth. Our DNA molecules depart from us at that time, and remain in that space, and that is where the essence of who we are will reside.

I truly have yet to see the merit of the group. I do not choose my friends by their belief system, nor do I constantly expect them to explain it to me.This should be a group that finds ways to help people, no bully, bash, and attack. I have dectded to stay out. You cannot make an innocent comment that someone doesn't find fault. I am an empath and the energy in here makes me ill. I cannot be here. Blessings and joy regardless where your life takes you. Smiles n Hugs, Betty

I'm not hateful towards religious/spiritual people but, I admit, I question their intelligence.

I can honestly say that I don't hate anyone; some people's ideas, or their behavior, maybe, but not the human being. And there are those with whom I would choose to never associate, mainly because I believe they would have nothing positive to add to my existence. But, I do not ridicule people for what they believe; it does no good. I may ridicule the belief, but not the person.
