What do you think happens after we die?

I grew up Catholic so I was taught there would be a place called heaven to go to if I was a good little boy and this gave me something to look forward to after life on Earth. But now I'm older, wiser, and I just don't feel in my heart that such a place exists. I just don't feel it. =(

So then what? What do I believe happens after we die?

As for heaven... yep, there it is! All around us!

But i agree.. it's probably best to understand life before we get getting into other things that..... well, aren't present. :)

As long as you're living right, and i'm sure your intuition has a lot to say about that too, why worry..

That reminds me of an Israel Vibration song... "Why worry, why worry, why worry... when you can pray".. PS: you don't have to be catholic to pray! :) Give thanks, celebrate, and rejoice.. nothing but love, mikey; ▶ Reply to This

If I don't believe in the exsistence of bacteria just because I can't see it or believe in it's exsistence. Just because you don't feel there's a heaven doesn't mean it exsists...but there is also a hell. We choose which one we go to after we die in this life. If we make the Lord Jesus Christ our God and are truly in love with Him it's heaven. Hell is the absence of God and those who choose to live apart from God now will forever live without Him in eternity. We choose our fate because God never will force us to do something we don't want to.

I don't think eternity is something we should joke about. We all die, whether it's soon or years from now. It's a serious thing we should all think about. Eternity is forever and that's a long time.; ▶ Reply to This
