do you believe in an afterlife?

[Dafunkdoc_Unlimited]

but wouldn't the belief in something beyond the physical realm essentially be a belief in the supernatural/paranormal? what's separating someone who believes in an afterlife from someone who believes in ghosts and elves and reptilian overlords

Well, you believe in morals which are beyond the physical realm. Are they 'supernatural/paranormal'?

You also believe in 'good' and 'evil' both of which are not physical manifestations of anything material. Are they 'supernatural' as well?​

I would like to think that n!ggas would be over our fascination with fried chicken by the time I'm reincarnated.....I doubt that sh!t tho.

those are just acquired views on the world cultivated from experiences, there isn't a quantifiable space or dimension that holds ideals or morals, so it isn't really comparable to an afterlife that is supposed to transcend death and put a person's consciousness/spirit/ in another plane of existence

'Good' and 'evil' are not 'cultivated from experiences'. Neither are morals. They exist independently of ourselves and our experiences and thus transcend the physical/material. Belief in an afterlife is equivalent to belief in morality in the sense that neither can be quantified due to their transcendent natures. You just 'believe' they exist.

Nope

everyone's concepts of good and evil aren't uniform tho

i don't believe that your personality (which decides things like right or wrong, good or evil, morals etc) exists independently of yourself...i think it's something like a profile that you accumulate over your years on the earth, whether through conditioning or observation or experience

I disagree. Ask 100 people if torturing a baby for fun is morally 'good' or 'evil'.

'Wrong' is 'wrong' regardless, and independent, of personality.​

God never killed babies? read the bible breh....every baby/infant/toddler who wasn't on noah's ark literally got DROWNED....that's the worse kind of torture a person could get (but I guess those babies were evil and wicked somehow)


but that aside Human beings harvest animal BABIES (unborn fetuses/babies) for consumption. (AND GOD ALLOWS THIS)


They take newborn cows and tie ropes around their heads so that the animal doesn't grow and the meat stays small and tender. They then go onto sell it's meat to supermarkets.



but these animals lack a hypothetical soul that only homo sapiens somehow possess (apparently Neanderthal, homo erectus, homo heidelbergensis, homo ergaster, homo habilis, and Homo floresiensis did not have souls tho) so it makes their precious lives expendable and less important than our lives, because we were made in God's image (apparently God is a mammalian vertebrate also)


if u eat baby back ribs or eggs ur a child murderer

 

[Poetical Poltergeist]

i just find it so crazy and mind boggling how much time is infront of us after we die its literally FOREVER. like not 500 years, not a million years but infinite

Crazy shyt. I don't know what's scarier...staying dead forever...or just dying in general.

i wouldn't mind dying at all if i knew i could come back sooner or later

BINGO.

We look at the same physical world. So how can it be that me and you can look at the same things, the same processes, and it be interpreted differently?

This alone is witness that there exists a realm independent from what is seen. One that yes, you cannot see nor touch, yet is in actuality realer to you than the physical realm in and of itself.

i believe in an afterlife, but also in reincarnation

NEGATIVE.

Ask the ancient people of Canaan. Of whom used to sacrifice their babies by fire to Molech, a Canaanite god. To them what they were doing was "good" because they were serving their god.

Morality is only seemingly uniform because in modern times we have 3 religions who dominate the world, all of which proceed from the same stem. Abrahamic. Which is an acceptance based on tradition, not natural choice.
