It's a bit arrogant of us to believe that the planet spent a few billion years evolving just so that we could exist for a tiny fraction of it, on our way to a better place.
Well, does the "Harp Farm" exist? or do we just turn into fish bait?.
Me,I believe in something more after death just not sure exactly what though.

In an infinite universe it would be foolish to rule anything out, however
unlikely its certain to happen.
I believe in re-incarnation.

Not unless you consider the whole God stuff. And I haven't heard any atheist come up with a good explanation for the existence of the universe (yes, it came from the Big Bang, but where did that come from?). The universe is far too complicated to be set in motion all on its own...Originally Posted by Peadar
We go to heaven,end of!!
My personal belief
Pergotory first for all the small sins (scraps, shoplifting, being mean to people, kicking dogs) then once all of these are worked off (the worse you were the longer it lasts) you are into heaven. Only Jesus and probably some of the Pope's passed straight through pergotory.
If you we really evil however i.e. you commited murder, rape, torture then your off to hell for all eternity.
I do however believe that "murder" etc. counts in the ethical term not the legal term. Personally I don't think that God will condem to hell the man who shot the paedophuile who raped his 12 year old daughter. I do believe the Myra Hindley is in hell.
Obviously there's a lot of things I don't understand/am unsure about surrounding issues such as repentance, euthenasia and abortion. I'm not going to write anything about this because to be perfectly honest I don't know. I'm pretty sure on my beliefs above (i.e. peadophile's going to hell) but I am very uncetain on those 3 issues in particular and as well as causing an argument by doing so I just wouldn't feel comfortable saying "if you do this your in heaven and that your in hell" when I'm very unsure myself.

I reckon if it possible that Home Farm still exists then the Harp Farm could too...Originally Posted by the 12 th man
Haven't heard any believers explain where the whole god thing came from. If there is a god, presumably it's MORE complicated than the universe. So in explaining the occurence of the universe via the existence of god, we leave ourselves with a bigger explanatory puzzle.Originally Posted by pineapple stu
Fish bait.
Sum of all knowledge - all rational scientific knowledge = faith
Harp farm it is.

Worm food - simple as that. Make the most of your years here.
Worm food for me too.
If there is a god, he's one evil untc imo, so I'd rather not have what he has in store if he does exist tbh.
If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.
some early christian religions (i.e cathars and other agnostics )belive earth was actualy hell and when you die you just went to heaven , now watching city being beaten in the cup final by drogs actualy renforced my belief in that train of thought .

I never claimed otherwise but why do we think that we're so significant that there's an afterlife for us!Originally Posted by pineapple stu
A few billion mites crwaling on a small planet, where we're not the most numerous or the most ancient. In the greater scheme of things, we're just another life form. We cling onto the idea of heaven for comfort. We have psychos blowing themselves and others up, thinking it will get them there quicker.
After trade unions, religion is the root of all evil!

Never claimed that there isn't an afterlife for anything else. Don't see why there isn't an afterlife for cats and dogs and all. Or why there wouldn't be an afterlife for little green aliens on other planets.Originally Posted by Peadar
What do you make of the events in Israel around 4BC to 30AD, when - so goes the story - the man himself told us there was an afterlife? Or are you one of those people who chooses not to believe any of that happened because it's easier that way? (Not trying to wind you up - just trying to start a conversation here. Honestly!)
Sure God always was and always shall be - that's just one of the great mysteries of religion we have to try and accept and not understand!Originally Posted by Marked Mac

I do believe in life after death and i do believe there is a God and i defo think i might be waiting outside that gate wit St Peter for a good while before im forgiven my sins
I believe that a man called Jesus went around telling people that he was the son of God. He was charming enough to build up a following and over time, the story of his life grew into legend.Originally Posted by pineapple stu
I don't believe he was actually anything other than an arrogant man with strong views.
I see people like this all the time in Cork.
I'd like to ask a question of my own, what do people think is the purpose of an afterlife?
Is life on earth like a group stage or a qualifying round before the main event in heaven?
If there was life on an atom, would that lifeform think that we were their God and that after death, they'd join us in an afterlife?
