I don't live in fear of an afterlife, sorry to disappoint you, but I actually feel comfortable about the possibility of my spirit going on into an afterlife wherever that may be.
I also live my life to the full without fear.

How comfortable are you with the knowledge that your beliefs, have at least 75% of humanity being tortured endlessly?

I use archaeology to investigated the validity of the Bible and Quran. Like I have learned that Islam is false because they claim that Abraham (whose tomb is in Hebron, Israel), built the Kaaba in the center of Mecca. I believe Abraham is said to have lived around 2100 BC. Where are there artifacts of Mecca, before the 4th century AD? Can you name one ancient historian who mention Mecca by name before that time, like all real prequranic towns?

There were no Jews in Egypt either.

What about all of the other people who don't have it as well? I went to L.A. for a business trip and saw teenagers asleep under a bridge. This world is messed up beyond repair. I could never be happy when I see others so bad off, no matter I good I personally have it. Is this really all you ever hope for? What a shit hole this planet is!

Look around you. That is in every town, every city, there is hunger and poverty everywhere, the answer is not in a holy book nor is it in any church.

For almost my entire life (yes, even in my childhood) I have been active in trying to help those less fortunate, For years I operated a soup kitchen (free of dogma), cooked in another (prayers mandatory), which was the reason I started and funded one myself, delivered food, water and clothing in emergency situations (fire and storms). I took in and raised 4 abandoned children along with my own, and I can tell you, this life is beautiful.

The possibilities, the endless chances to reinvent your life, to step outside of your own past, begin anew, are real. Even with disease and terminal illness, we humans can look for the possibility of cures, we can live in the moment, making as much as we can of the too short days left. We can pass on who we are in music, art and in the written word. Nothing is guaranteed, but for one brief bit of life that we have, we can make it a brilliantly beautiful and shining moment, by something as simple as sharing a smile.

The answers to poverty can be as simple as just getting tired of being broke. I have seen this work, with just a family doing without, then picking up cans, and then trash, and then starting their own trash clean up business, and then moving into landscaping. Today they live well, and they pass on these very simple words, " When you really get tired of being broke, get up and do something about it.".

Thank you.
Most people never understand, but they are only limited by what they choose to be limited by.

Are you talking about religion per chance?

One does not have to follow a religion to believe in life after death.
Again, I apologise for your ignorance.

Is your "life after death" based on a reward/punishment system? Do you gain a heaven while the ne`er do well earns his hell?

I simply am not aware of other zombie existences, besides the three common knowledge types.

They are the Voodoo religions Zombie, the Jehovah/Allah/Yahweh and his followers(reward and punishment based)Abrahamic religion's zombies, and then the media zombie. Are there more?

You believe in zombies yet have the cheek to rubbish my belief in an afterlife?

You have no genuine interest in my thoughts really, do you?

Well no, I don't believe in zombies, nor do I follow any of the zombie religions, but life after death is what zombie is, so apparently you are a believer.

Now you may not want to call your dead self a zombie to be, but if you are dead, and then reanimated by god-magic, you are zombie.

Life after death is what you are claiminmg, right? Explain to me, how that is not zombie.

Very well, this zombie believes there is an existence of some sort after death. This zombie has seen on several occasions what this zombie believes to be spirits and has had expericed other world activity. There is nothing God like in my belief, indeed Christians think ghosts are in fact evil so that shoots down your thoughts on everything religious.

Any more questions you want this zombie to answer?

Atheists must convert to islam

You will not lose anything if you became a muslim

what will you lose?

If u live in peace, islam wants you to live in peace

If you against violence,islam is against violence

If you believe in charity and other great cause favors, Islam dedicates the same idea and charity is one of islamic pillars

[Egyptian_lad]

people must save themselves and became muslims

You need ALLAH you need to accept him and do good in your life

You will be the winner after your death

[supersonic boom]

Reason Personified and KittenKoder, ask Egypt turd here about giants and his evidence for them.

I'll go put the kettle on-----.

One question, why do you believe in something for which there is absolutely zero evidence supporting?
