Afterlife past life next life

[reallynormal]

Morning mumsnet 💐 has you can tell im bored today.
As title says do you believe in any of it.
Afterlife.
Past lifes.
Next life.
I was raised to think that we live we die we are reborn in the next life.
What we do in this life will follow us to the next.
As an adult i dont believe this but its nice to think so.

Oh, I think I see it.
You think nothing created God, God exists without having been created by an entity.

Fair enough.

I think nothing created people, people exist without having been created by an entity.

I respect your right to believe what you want and I expect you to grant me the same courtesy.

@Goody2ShoesAndTheFilthyBeast The Holy Quran states that life resulted from evolution. However, this evolution was not blind or random. Rather, evolution was controlled by Divine hand. This Divine hand accounts for the beginning, diversity and complexity of life on Earth.

I agree with that. Just as the fact you believe there is one doesn't make that true either.

It's all just beliefs, faith and current understanding.

@Goody2ShoesAndTheFilthyBeast I'm not forcing you believe anything I'm just answering to the questions you have asked. 😊

Well, that's certainly better than the adam and eve thing.

I think some understanding of science in a faith is a good thing.

I didn't for one second think that you were. We're just exchanging opinions on a topic.

Thankfully there is no such thing as nothing. Even on a vacuum there are all kinds of energy fluctuations.

According to some scientists "the singularity" was the point at which space, time and stuff was created. No one knows what the singularity was. But eventually, according to Brian Cox we're all going to get sucked into a big black hole and cease to exist just like before the big bang.

You won't have a choice. You will be part of judgement day.

But now you have the choice to accept or reject so choose wisely.

I am not telling non believers to believe in my God or they will suffer for eternity. I do encourage all people to think deeply about the purpose of life and look at the world around them.

Religions are there to give guidance. Humans generally run into trouble without guidance.

I believe people do have the right to practice whichever religion they want or none.

I'm late 50s. I was brought up as a Catholic til I stopped believing aged 40ish.
My Life would be a whole lot easier if I still believed in Eternal Life. I'd love to be reunited with my mum and dad
Lost my dog last year - don't believe in the Rainbow Bridge, either.
A good thing really - if I could join him, I'd make tracks 💔

I want to believe in some sort of reincarnation. Living forever as me would be hell. I hate me, and don't want to be me forever.

But the rational side of my brain says it all goes dark and it is just like before we were born. No awareness.

No, I definitely won’t be part of your judgement day. This is your subjective reality not mine. Believe what you need to but don’t insinuate that your beliefs are superior to those of others, especially of non believers of your god.

It is not my judgement day. It is God's judgement day. Everyone will be a part of it. There is no choice.

Like I said, you have a choice now.

I am not insinuating anything. Just encouraging people to think deeply about life and its purpose.

People have the choice not to believe in God. Those who do choose not to believe in God shouldn't get treated any differently to those who believe of any faith. This is the principle I try and live by.

Peace be with you.

Well fuck me, now we are all being told that we need to repent or suffer for all eternity but no-one is telling us we need to join their religion - oh no, they wouldn't do that would they? It all sounds jolly lovely though... 🙄. Also magically, we can do what the fuck we want and as long as we repent before judgement day it's all good by god. never mind the victims of whatever atrocities these horrors that are now washed clean have done. Did god create some people just to be collateral damage?

If that's your god then you can keep him.

Is there a Mnet rule about threatening posters with eternal damnation?

Respectfully, that’s your belief system. You may believe that this judgement day applies to the entire world, and that non-Christians will go ‘Whoops!’ before being condemned to eternal damnation. Other people may choose to believe that it’s wishful thinking and a fear of death.

This is what I said.

People have the choice not to believe in God.

I never mentioned eternal damnation. People have to make their choice through reflection and deep thinking not fear.

Everyone has free will on earth.

This is definitely not encouraging people to think deeply about life and its purpose. This is your message telling other people to “believe or else”. Why would any Heavenly Father rule through fear and threat of hell for all eternity if people refuse to worship him? No way. Life and the universe are far more multi dimensional than that. Like I said, you have every right to believe what you believe, 100%, but please don’t suggest to others that your religious beliefs are some how spiritually more superior to the beliefs of those who don’t believe in your god. Humanity over religion, every single time.

I never said believe or else.
I never said my beliefs were superior.

I will say it again - People have the choice not to believe in God.

Humanity dies, but God will never die. This is why I wouldn't put my faith in humanity over God.

Peace be with you.

But religion is a man-made idea. It will die along with the societies that generate it.

You said in a previous post that “It is not my judgement day. It is God's judgement day. Everyone will be a part of it. There is no choice”. So people have the choice to not believe in God, but regardless of that, and for that, they will have no choice in being judged on judgement day? So isn’t this clearly a believe or else scenario?

Having just lost my Mum I would love to believe that there was something, but sadly I don't think there is anymore otherwise I would feel her with me now. It's hard to think there is nothing but also it's a sobering thought.

It’s interesting, lots of people saying it’s hard to think there’s nothing / difficult or anxiety-inducing to picture there being nothing after they’re gone. I’ve never found that at all - I remember the Total Perspective Vortex in the hitchhikers guide, and how it sent people mad - it seemed quite relaxing to me! I also never feel like there “ought” to be a preordained meaning to life or anything like that. Funny how we are all wired differently!
