Life after death?

[MiniPocketWorld]

Do you believe there is some sort of life or existence after death?
Feel free to share what you think about the topic.

Please be respectful

 

[Midoriya]

Yeah, I do. I'm a Christian. I respect other's beliefs though and don't try to push mine onto anyone.

 

[Roxxy]

Yes, I have to believe there is something. I have lost too many loved ones and i couldn’t cope if I didn’t believe they were together and looking after me

 

[Foreverfox]

Same, I am a Christian, but I respect that others have beliefs other than my own and I don’t press my beliefs onto people.

 

[wrenbow]

I personally don't see a reason to believe so, but there's no way to know so I can't say other people are wrong to believe otherwise. It would be interesting if there was.

I do—I'm not really religious so I'm not sure if it's as ghosts, in an afterlife, a return to a greater consciousness, some form of reincarnation or a mix thereof, but I don't believe that anything simply ceases to exist. I don't remember anything before I was born, sure, but that's in this brain, in this body. I don't have any memory of being an infant either, but I know I was one anyway. Although when I was a toddler I remember being very angry that I "didn't get to be a baby" because I couldn't remember it lol

Of course, I could be wrong, but believing in it now brings me a great deal of comfort, and if I am wrong... well, uh, not to get too dark here but it's not like it'll matter to me at that point anyway.

I have always been unsure about this, but after my Mum passed away suddenly in October, I cling onto the hope that there is something after death. I've been really struggling with her passing and it's one of the things that keeps me going, hoping that she's watching over me and someday I'll get to meet her again. When a feather falls down from the sky I like to think it's her near, as she always believed that.

I picked the 3rd option. To me this is something completely unknown. I'm not really sure what else to say.

 

[Drawdler]

I don’t believe there is. I don’t even know if I would like it, I understand why people hope for it but life already is so hard imagining an afterlife even sounds difficult for me.

I do believe in perfect life after death for those who choose it through Christ, but I also believe in the ceasing of existence (perma-death) for those who choose not to believe.

Thought I’d post since my poll answer is technically both yes and no but I can’t vote for both. >>;

 

[Croconaw]

I feel unsure what to believe. This isn't really something I think about and live in the moment. I think there may be something after death but I don't know what.

I added the option (hope I worded it ok? Lmk if not)

I added the option (hope I worded it ok? Lmk if not)

I think that wording works well, vague enough to cover different worldviews with different qualifiers.

i was baptized catholic but im really unsure, we can’t really prove that an afterlife exists. apart of me feels like there’s an afterlife, the other half thinks that it’s like going into a dreamless sleep forever.

 

[Bluelady]

I was raised Catholic, so it’s hard to convince me that there isn’t an afterlife. While there is a part of me that is afraid that it’ll be just an eternal sleep; I do wish to see my loved ones again. It would be sad knowing that I couldn’t.

 

[Romaki]

No, I don't believe in anything like that. I'd love to, but I'm just someone that puts logic first.

 

[Mokuren]

I don't believe in an afterlife. I envy people who can! I really wish I could but I am just to sceptial I guess.

I am afraid of the death and I really hope threre is something like reincarnation.

 

[Millysaurusrexjr]

No, I don't think there's any kind of afterlife. I think it's exactly the same as the time before you were born. Nothingness

 

[Violet Witch]

Yes. Spirituality runs strongly through our family with many of us believing in life after death.
