Are there people here who dont believe in gods idea and believe in godless afterlife? Isn't hypocritical to do so, as magic once accepted has no boundaries.
Religion and philosophy, in my opinion, bring only mental pain in the end, and thats why people avoide them. Although I admire believers suicidal tendencies towards their earthly pleasure to do more good things instead or pleasant.
I am a very black and white kind of person. To me there is no afterlife at all. My mind will stop and I won't feel pain, sadness, longing, anything. Because of that I am not afraid of death. I am very afraid of the pain I might experience before actual death but not once I go. I am also afraid of the pain I will leave my family in but that can't be helped. I don't think it is ironic that I get nothing in the end because to me this is all we get and we live for here and now not for taking things with us in the end.
I honestly can't grasp the idea of accepting an afterlife but not a god. To me they go hand in hand. If I were to believe one why wouldn't I believe in the other. I don't know if I would label it hypocritical but it is very confusing to me how people decide which sounds real.
Once more I think we disagree in that I think religion will bring happiness in the end for most people. If it comforts them right before their death so they die happy then I can't see the problem with that. For me they will never know they were wrong so no harm no foul.
