I have to say I've been steaming. I haven't opened this forum for months. I opened it today, found something interesting and made a serious comment. A minute later I get that silly response.
A long time ago this used to be a pretty insightful forum. No wonder everybody's gone.
Thanks for stopping by you little ray of sunshine.
Have a happy, healthy holiday season.
Oh, and how is "everyone gone" if you got a response?

My opinion of the afterlife based on the bible is that God created the universe the way he wanted it to be. He wanted humankind to willingly choose to be part of that world, so he created the tempter to offer us the option to exist away from him. Those who choose him return to Eden, which is the way God originally created us. That's why the bible speaks of a bodily resurrection. Those who choose not to accept his original design for us go on to live apart from him.
My view is that we are all part of the same existence. Existence has no beginning or or end. It just is. Therefore I have always been and I will always be. I'm existing in time now in my current situation, but I think that this won't always be the case. It's not as if we'll be existing for zillions of years and wishing we could end it all, but rather, taken altogether, everything will just be "now".
