do you believe in an afterlife?

[outrider567]

No--If I did believe in it, I would have CTB'ed years ago

I experienced clinical death in 2018 and all I can say are the feelings accompanying this experience, endless love, a sense of integration with the whole world, a sense of lightness and bliss. Was it the effect of DMT or is this really the "reality" after death? I still don't know that.

ive seen a lot of people who got close to death describe it in a very blissful way which has always left me a bit hopeful for what might happen when im truly gone. i wouldnt mind it if death was like some sort of long, sweet dream.

did you see anything or was it just feelings attached to it?

I believe there is a higher power & think there must be more than this to life. My faith is rather fragile though. I mean, look at the world we live in! I still try to be there for others because its the right thing to do.
But others haven't & aren't there for me....ever!
So I try to help others because I know how it feels to not be cared for.
But none of that is "Gods" fault. Its people!

Feelings only. I was 19 at the time.

Yes.

Leaning towards "no". We weren't conscious before we were born, so most likely there's also nothing after death?

this has likely been discussed here before, but ive always wondered about it, especially as i get closer to my planned date. i see a lot of people saying that its simply non-existence, which makes the most sense to me, but its also difficult to fully wrap my head around. its hard to imagine what nothingness is when its, well, nothing.

part of me wishes that i become a ghost or something. id like to wander around aimlessly.

You wll have that option, but it is very rare for souls to choose that option after consideration.

I believe in the actual biblical afterlife, which is a PHYSICAL resurrection from the graves/dust at the day of judgment. Those who believed on Christ will live forever in a body without sin and pain on a new restored paradise earth (also physical, we are not going to heaven), and the wicked will be judged and then burn up in the lake of fire (but then cease to exist never to rise again). So nothing about being being disembodied spirits/ghosts floating around like cartoons show it, but actual literal resurrection. Just my input because this view is actually rare even among Christians who think their religion is against the physical (the physical world is not antithetical to God but just broken and needs to be repaired not discarded).

I'm Christian so I do believe in the afterlife. It also kinda makes me afraid of suicide but I read somewhere that a mortal sin must be committed fully aware, I don't know if I'm really "aware" because of my mental illness. Maybe I'm just looking for excuses. I want to believe God forgives and I hope He will understand why I did it.

If He doesn't, I'll see y'all in hell.
