D. Dark Posted November 27, 2001 Share Posted November 27, 2001 Sometimes I'm a pragmatist, sometimes a realist. Here I'll be a realist. I believe that there is only one life. This one. I believe that you should try to experience as many things as you possibly, humanly could, in this lifetime, for there won't be a second chance. That's why I got on the Boards. I doubt I'll ever meet thousands of people in real life, and the Boards lets me talk over the Net on these Boards. I'm discovering what all of you are like. For I doubt there'll be a second chance. For death is final. And I'm not trying to put a damper on, but I don't think there is anything after death, only darkness. And I'm not being depressing, just real As I'm usually a pragmatist, and hopeful:toothy: :D :toothy: :D :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Macaiodh Posted November 28, 2001 Share Posted November 28, 2001 you can believe in christianity, & believe in reincarntion, too, technically. this one guru i met theorized that "heaven" is located in the 4th or above dimension & that jesus & other divine incarnate beings are actually visitors from higher dimensions who sacrificed their god-like state in order to bring a greater knowledge of life, etc. to human beings. as far as i know, the bible has nothing that can disprove it. vegitto, darling, do you really believe what you say, or are you afraid to believe otherwise? i'm not trying to piss you off in any way, but i had that problem for a long time.

Lotus Posted November 28, 2001 Share Posted November 28, 2001 I'm Catholic, so I don't believed in reincarnation. I'm Asian, I heard people talk about reincarnation a lot. One of the story I heard from my dad about reincarnation in India. I think reincarnation do exist, but I don't believed in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hinata Posted November 28, 2001 Share Posted November 28, 2001 [COLOR=darkred] I personally don't know what to think about that for now.... it doesn;t touch on reincarnation in the BIBLE so I guess when I die and go to Heaven...

~Videl~ Posted November 28, 2001 Share Posted November 28, 2001 Hmmm.....reincarnation.....thats a tricky one. For most of my life I would have to say no, I didn't believe in it. However once when I was meditating I had an experience that has since changed my mind. Oh grr, this is really hard to explain so please don't laugh if it sounds really stupid in words. I had kind of a vision/impression of dancing near a huge fire by a lake at night, I was holding hands with someone and there were voices and music in the background. It seemed so real I could almost feel the wind in my hair and smell the smoke. You probably all think I'm weired now........well at least you're not disappointed then:D This hasn't proved anything outright to me, I don't think anyone will really know. But I like to think we get the chance to improve ourselves and make up for past mistakes..........otherwise whats the point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D. Dark Posted November 28, 2001 Share Posted November 28, 2001 I would love to believe in reincarnation. Life, after life, after life. All of the experiences you could possibly have, everything you could do, it's like being eternally recycled (that doesn't sound that good but I can't think of anything else). But I don't believe in religion, for I'm an atheist, for I may be acting blind by not believing, but science provides a lot of sense and evidence for what happens in the world, and the universe. It's more difficult to believe now than it used to be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Videl~ Posted November 28, 2001 Share Posted November 28, 2001 You're not blind d dark. Blindness is blindly (<==that word [I]again[/I] :wigout:) following a religion - or any way of life - without any reason or thought behind the choice. You have chosen to believe in what your senses and logical mind show you, that is your decision but it is an informed one and I know how hard it is to believe. I went through a really morbid phase in my life when I was scared to go to sleep in case I didn't wake up - I was terrified of death and going to the big black, constantly imagining what not existing anymore would be like. I've since found out it can't be done - of course - but even thinking of it like that was enough to terrify me. I guess I believe in some sort of after life now......it's kind of comforting, but all we can really do is wait and see........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XxmagentaxX Posted November 28, 2001 Share Posted November 28, 2001 So Christians just basically believe that you die and go to heaven and stay there for the rest of eternity??? oh well... that's them... my mom has always believed in reincarnation and and past lives.. so i have read most of her books on it and it makes alot of sense more then just dying and going to heaven and believe this pisses alot of people and one of my really good friends told me that i am going to hell because of what i believe.. and remind to never argue with her about religion even though i always win it isn't worth it but this isn't about religion... past lives.... my mom says that i was a pirate and i was drowned so thats why ia m scared to death of water now... my mom also went to past life therapy.. I can't remember the exact name and she was like a Lady way back in like the 1400's or something ok this is pointless but i always freaked me out... when my lil brother was about 5 he was stanfing at his window at about 3 in the morning and my mom and I were awake for some reasona nd we saw him standing there and he turned to us and said " they talk to me Mommy"..... and no one knows why....

I went through the same stage too. I got really worried about, and told my sister "I don't wanna die" and got really emotional. But I got over that real quickly, for it might sound like I'm giving up, but we all die one day. So that's when I started to live life to the full, for I knew I wouldn't get a second chance. There's no need to be afraid of it. When your time comes, it comes, and it makes you re-evaluate how you act. I started being kinder, calmer, helpful, etc. It just makes you feel better about yourself. I thought of death as a sleep you never wake from, and wondered if it just ends. Something else must happen, but not necceserily reincarnation. Maybe somehow your life is replayed over and over again. I do sort of believe in souls, but...I don't know. I'm still figuring stuff out. Anyway, we're still young, so don't worry yourself. Chill. Wait till you're 50 to worry about that, you've got your whole life ahead of you.

Lady Macaiodh Posted December 1, 2001 Share Posted December 1, 2001 i just don't really buy the traditional theories b/c i don't believe an all-loving god would damn souls to hell to be tortured for all eternity... plus, some stuff in the bible is downright offensive to me.

The Facinations thet all you ppl are talking about are just that, facinations, not things that you did in past lives. and d.dark, trust me, there is a ton of things that science proved that prove christianity is real. I know you might not just be an athiest against christianity, but that is the definition of an athiest, they are trying to disprove The fact that God does not exist, and that is impossible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pressure Posted December 1, 2001 Share Posted December 1, 2001 My mom and I are guessing I was either a whale/dolphin or I was a college professor. Yeah, I realize that they couldn't be anymore opposite but... here are the reasons... I've been drawing whales and dolphins since I was 2 (most children dont learn how to hold a pencil or crayon etc. until they r 3-4) and b/c I love to swim more than anything in the world. Plus I am super fast in the water. I have yet to lose a swimming race against my friends. Lesse, oh yeah, I squeak a lot and I'm really graceful in the water. We also think I ws a college professor b/c I always use really big words... and my mom has said that I've used big words that she can't figure out how I learned. Like, the last one was marginal.. My mom told me I once used the word Marginal perfectly in a sentecne... ready or the catch? I have no idea what marginal means. Me and my friend Leah use big words all the time... Melancholy, Hipocrite, Adulterated... half the time our friends have to ask what what we said. We use words your average teen does not use Oh, and this is a silly topic, I believe humans live once as a human. But the spirit never dies.

Vegitto4 Posted December 1, 2001 Share Posted December 1, 2001 the spirit never dies, but it never gets put into something else. I have always used big words, and my sister is a fast swimmer, and always has been, and has been drawing everything and everything, snce i can't remember. but that dosen't mean she was reincarnated into a human from a sea creature.

Dan L Posted December 6, 2001 Share Posted December 6, 2001 [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Vegitto4 [/i] [B]grrrrrrrrr. Reincarnation is bs gohan. You only live once. not multiple times until you pay off your debts [/B][/QUOTE] Though banks will have you believe the opposite. Seriously, I dont know if i believe in reincarnation. I believe that we must have a spirit cos if were just a bunch of chemicals that just learned to kill other bunches of chemicals, and create more bunches of chemicals by 'interacting' with the other kinds of bunches of chemicals then my life looks pretty dull.

Pastbyer Posted December 7, 2001 Share Posted December 7, 2001 I'm not really Christian or Athetic (sp?). But I do believe in reincarnation. I think that not everyone is reincarnated after they die, only those who has depts to pay or has not fufiled their destinies are reincarnated. Sometimes I think I was reincarnated from another world, but I'm not quite sure because all my memories are quite messed up. I don't know why I believe in these things but they just popped out of my head. Ever since my parents split up I began to question science. And one day I just suddenly began to see science and religion as two parallel lines. They bend and erode eachother until they become one. And that one line is what I believe in... I must seem really weird now. :blush: But it's what I believe in and well... you can think what you want. I don't care. Oh yeah I almost forgot. Ever since I first learned the word "glasses" (in my first language which is Chinese) I knew that when I got older I was going to wear them someday. And guess what? I was right! I'm wearing glasses right now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
