50. Although I am religious compared to many DUers...
Edited on Sat Mar-12-05 12:21 AM by Democrat Dragon
I don't really believe in the afterlife. I dunno, maybe its because its not really mentioned in the Bible(Unless you're a Deist or Non-Christian, Jesus was a special case). I think the concept of heaven being a place for dead souls and hell was actually borrowed from the Elysian Fields and Tartarus of Ancient Greek Paganism. Another reason is that life is harsh, and that most people and animals have an instictive drive to survive as long as they can. As for mediums, IMHO they're fake and as for ghosts, I think they are something else.

However if somehow someoen finds solid proof that life after death exists(some people claim they have), I wouldn't throw a tanturm and poorly deny it.

BTW if Hell supposedly exists, then wouldn't satan(or whatever being you believe rules Hell)be tourturing good people(since he's bad)?
