Lately, you guys (mostly applied to Steph and Becca) have been really good about emailing me questions to use on Mondays. I'm not creative enough to come up with more questions on my own so I'm really glad that you guys are helping me. Thanks! BTW I'm using the questions mostly in order that I got them from you guys. Today I have another question from Becca's mind! (thanks becca!)
What do you believe happens after you die? Reincarnation? Heaven/Hell? Nothing? or something else?
I hope you guys will share your views on this subject cause I really wanna know what you guys think! If you "talk" (as in comment) to Becca, be sure to thank her for the questions! (and Steph as well!)

Thank you, Becca!
I believe that after you die, you go to Heaven or Hell, depending on your behavior. When you got to Heaven you spend eternal life with Jesus in harmony, paradise and happiness. You are reunited with God and loved ones who have died forever.
I personally think that when you go to Heaven, you return to the age you were most happy.
Even though I deeply believe in Heaven and it's beauty, I have questions about it. Like how can you be the happiest you can ever be when maybe, your friends and family still live on Earth? The people you love the most aren't with you, so how can you be happy? And have you ever heard of an unhappy person in heaven?
I am also a firm believer that all animals go to Heaven as well. It comforts me to know that when I die I will be reunited with my cat, Sparkey, as well as other cats I've had. As well as my Nana and other loved ones.
When someone dies, you can be sad and that's okay, but you should be comforted to know that your loved one is in the happiest place ever (And I'm not talking about Disney World).
I agree with skittles. I can not imagine "not living", even though we all die someday. How can we end up under the ground and nowhere else? Most people believe that there is more to us than just a body. There is a soul that cannot just "disappear" when our body dies.
I think that when we are in Heaven we lose most of our emotions. I know how weird that sounds, but it makes sense how we cannot feel like we've lost something or get bored. It is probably a satisfying "feeling" not having many emotions.
Imaganing a life without believing in Heaven seems a little sad to me. Personally, I would have trouble not believing there is nothing else after I die.
I would have to disagree. I believe when you die that is that. We should enjoy our life now and make the best of that. Obviously I do not know for sure. Maybe there is something after this but I want to focus on the now because it is the only thing I am sure that I have.
Obviously you should enjoy life while you have it, but thinking that once I die, there's no more is quite depressing and bland. I'm saying that when we die, we don't just rot in the ground forever. I believe that not only do we have a body, we have a spirit. And I believe that while your body's life ends, your spirirt lives on forever.
Jesus promised us everlasting life and I believe my soul will live forever.
Heaven is a beautiful and amazing thought. To think that there is potentially a place where I can relive my happiest days after I die is really comforting and makes me feel...less scared of death I guess. But does that mean I believe it? No. I guess I just wish I do.
What I'm trying to say is, I HOPE that there is heaven. I HOPE that there is a place of eternal paradise where I can "live" with my friends and family for all of eternity. Go back to the way things used to be. The way things should be. But I'm not sure if I believe it.
I think that the thought that our bodies just rot in the ground after death is downright terrifying. I find it scary that after all the joy of life, we just die. And. That's. It. But what frightens me the most is my lack of faith- not neccecsarily in all of religion. But my lack of faith as to what happens after we die. I wish I could be confident in heaven and hell. Not only does that mean that the good are rewarded, but it also means that the evil are punished.
Then there's reincarnation. I find this a both comforting AND scary thought. You can be born into an amazing life, or a terrible one. Who knows how many times we have truly lived. Maybe the second we die, our soul appears in a newborn baby. The thing is, I love my present life so much, I don't WANT to live another life. But no matter what happens to us, we don't have much say, do we?
Honestly, I have NO idea what I believe. I want to believe in heaven and hell, but it's hard for me. I want to believe in reincarnation too, but that's even harder. And as for just rotting in the ground? Energy cannot be created nor destroyed. WHether or not you believe in a soul, it's a fact that we DO have energy in ourselves. And what happens to it after we die?
I certainly believe in souls. I just want to know what happens to them.
Skittles it may be depressing and bland but kind of like what strudel said I just don't believe it. I hope there is something cool that happens after death but since I don't know and don't really want to I like to focus on the rest of this life that I know I have.
There is nothing wrong with focusing on the life there is right now. I believe that we will only live one life on Earth, so make the most out of it. But I also find it difficult to believe that that is all there is. I cannot imagine being here one day and the next - what? I'm just gone, poof? To me, this is too difficult to imagine.
Heaven has taken on so many meanings, it is often seen as this fantasy dream-world. I don't believe that Heaven is like this. In all honesty, I have no idea what Heaven looks like, but that isn't a reason that makes me want to doubt its existence. There are many unexplainable things in the world that I have yet to see.
