Sorry to start an argument, it wasn't my intention I promise. Just in desperate need of answers.

If anyone has any other opinions on it please, please, please tell me. I'd really appreciate it at the moment.

Graaaaaaaaaaaaaaarg! Catholics aren't the only Christians!

There are lots of christians who don't believe that everyone but them burns in hell. In fact, I'm a preacher's kid, and I don't believe in hell at all. (Neither does the preacher, duh).

If God is such a loving and merciful and forgiving God, then would she really send people to be torchered for all of eternity?

Also, some non-Catholics believe that there is no magical spirit that lives in people until they die and then floats away to heaven or hell, we believe in Resurection of the Body.

You should really look into this stuff through legitimate means instead of posting on a Star Wars message board.
almost no one on this board is catholic and you look stupid everytime you go off on evangelicals by calling them "catholic" so you might want to stop that.


answer to first question: you rot in the ground.

Your intentions were pure.

All - It is not my place to say what has happened but I beg all of you to immediately leave flaming and bickering from this thread. It has no place here. Let us be supportive and kind. Our theories on the beyond is the subject here not who lords over it.

Death is... a funny thing. It should be simple, but humans being the silly species that we are we have to make it... complicated.

On the subject of religion... hmm, well, a few already know my opinions on that. If there isn't a god, life's a bitch and then you die. If there is a god(s), life's a bitch and then you die and go into eternal paradise. Or are reincarnated as a cockroach. Hey, when the world ends you'll still be around.

When people die, it's something like going to sleep. They just don't get up again. Whether or not they remain behind as some sort of "soul" doesn't matter; what matters is what you believe. If you believe they're still around, in some way or another, then that's probably true. As true as anything.

Leave a drink out for them, even if it won't be gone in the morning.

That's nice, although I've never considered myself to be of the atheist "party." I just don't let religion bother me; I'll worry about the afterlife after life, as it were.

I guess that kind of makes sense but I don't want to accept them as gone and seeing that the drinks remain untouched would just prove they are.

I feel so alone at the moment, it's like whenever something bad happened I had these two amazing people I could turn to and now they're just gone. I can't phone them, or write to them, They're just gone. I don't get how it's fair. They said they'd never leave but they have. They promised yet still they're gone. I remember Justin telling me that even death couldn't stop love but it has. What am I supposed to belive in now?

I'm sorry to go on like this, I have no right. It's just that I have no where else to go, no one else to ask for answers. Not anymore.
