THE FOLLY Of Afterlife by CANTICLES: 3:24pm On Nov 13, 2014
I was still very young when i heard a neighbour says : " A Living Dog is better than a dead lion" !! As a young child, i ponder on those words but didnt understand , IT WAS While i started growin up that i came to realize the meaning of that statement ,

I NOTICED that since to go to America, a person must obtain a VISA , and i see people doing anything to obtain it.... Yet i was also told that to go to heaven, the Visa is death !!! But my people dont wanna die.

I see the so-called religious leaders doing anything to receive the best medical treatment !! I Read thru news about how many people will exchange anything on behalf of their lives.

Armed robbers attack and u will see our people saying "sir , i will give you anything! I mean anything! Just SPARE OUR LIVES!" and that one will reply in an angry voice " where is the money, u collected yesterday"the family head will answer " #stammering with an high racing heartbeat# ittsss inside the bedroommm o"!! Even the so-call religious ones ar guilty of dis

I Read times without number how pastors gave out offerin money to arm robbers TO SAVE THEIR LIVE , AND AVOID DEATH !!! ..

I also see the so-called christians givin testimonies of how God save their lives from a particular danger !! Then i wonder " why should you thank God for taking away such a golden opportunity for you to be in heaven ;Just a gun shot&u are there !!" .

It wasnt long b4 i got the clue , i notice that if people have a good paying Job , Awesome car , nice house , comforting family ...They dont wanna talk about death !!!

If u tell such a rich &comfortable man "he will die tommorow" he will either curse u back or accuse u of cursin him ,is dat a curse ? Well its a curse bcoz there is one truth we all lack ,my mind went bak to my neighbours word,i cant just bliv its in the Bible "A Live dog is better off than a dead lion" Ask WHY?? It answers "for the living know that they will die;" but, pls relax as d truth explode...."AS For the dead, they know nothing at all"Ecc 9:4,5,10

I can find a REASONABLE explanation for such behavior, and I am not even religious. So, I would say that the main folly is trying to apply common logic to things transcendental.

From my own perspective, I would say that the word "afterlife" is a misnomer. The transcendental life is here now if we care to pay attention to it, and to within whatever limits we are able to while encumbered with our physical concerns. Implied is the insight that consciousness does not require the physical body, and the physical body does not entirely block transcendental experience.

When you hear these people give testimonies of how they miraculously escape death, then you can't help but wonder how a person who believes he/she is heaven bound dreads death even more than an atheist.
It all goes to show that deep down they are not convinced of the belief they profess.

The fact that nobody wants to die is the proof that there is an afterlife.it is a natural desire to keep living and not die. God placed it in us as a clue that he has prepared another life for us.

We are not scared to die,we are afraid of leaving the people we love,we teach the gospel we preach about heaven but we have no proof accept the bible so i guess even religious men are afraid of where they're going after here..

When you hear people give testimonies in church and make thanks giving to their pastor on account of their narrow escape from death, you get the sense that they are truly afraid of death.
If heaven is real and tangible to them, then their testimonies would have been of how they almost made it to heaven, and they would not be giving thaks for missing out on heaven.
Indeed, death is the enemy of all men, and the bible tells us that it is the last enemy that will be put under Jusus' feet. So until that time when the sting of death is no more, humans will continue to dread death for it is an enemy and not a friend that sends us to heaven on dying.

The day I see a Christian PRETEND that God exists for real, then I'll cut off my left hand.

If there was a God, the people who KNEW this for a fact would ACT like it.

They would NEVER tell lies, no matter how trivial.
Why would you tell a lie, if there are bigger issues at stake than keeping your job, friendship, marriage, or whatever it is you're protecting?

Nah, you're the mo)ron.

If your God is omnipotent, and omniscient, and you know for a fact that he's watching every single thing YOU do, why would you want to antagonize such a figure? It doesn't make sense.

When in Rome, behave like a Roman. If I knew such an entity to be real, I would NEVER tell a lie again. What's the purpose of telling lies or "sinning" when my as)s is on the line?

Given that scenario, that there exists an omniscient figure who monitors my daily activities and hates lies, what could be the benefit of telling a lie, ANY lie?

Id)iot. You don't know anything. That's why you sin and pray for forgiveness. If you really KNEW this retributive God existed, you wouldn't have committed ANY sin in the first place.
Re: THE FOLLY Of Afterlife by 2prexios: 10:40am On Nov 27, 2014
You are in such a bad mood over the god that
you know does not exist, what in this world makes you happy? Even if God does exist,
your mood cannot tolerate knowing him, and your intellect is not fertile enough to see beyond your horizon.
Do I care if a god exist or not? I care, because life has meaning, and the environment daily maintain natural harmony. It is supernatural, beyond the power of man. I am
grateful to my Creator and the Creator of
life. I hallow his name in all languages. I am less concern about God's business, (omni-whatever?) I have
mine to maintain. I am not in a miserable state of mind
because of 'how men describe God' to me, I have good sense, I can
think on my own. My God is not a jobless God hiding everywhere, monitoring me and looking out when I will offend him so he can convict me. God is love. He has never complain about me to you, so leave me to him, then Stop feeding your imagination with anger, you are fighting the unseen, only mad people does that.

Canticle has a valid argument as to 'you are dust' and 'the dead knows nothing' passage. Thats the original hebrew cosmology. In the days of Christ, there were two parties, the Saducee and the Pharisee. One believe in ressurection, and the other don't. Christ was preaching ascention of the saints (he led captives in his train) and ressurection of the dead. But after Christ, the Hellenist churchfathers took over. They synchronize ressurrection with platonic 'myth of the cave', and since then, rapture replace ressurection: You can feel the creed with Islam too: 'Ina illehi wa ina lilahi rajihun' immortality of the soul was a Greek gift to the universal religion. Canticle is stuck somewhere in the old testament. But then Isaiah said 'your dead shall live...'

This ur idea of rebukin untimely death shows you know the truth about death!!! Do u know why David is running away from King Saul?? ... Psalm 115:17 says : " the dead do not praise The LORD, Nor do any who go into silence"!!!
