Oh.. see i think otherwise.. I think that when a person dies and a child is born the soul moves to that child but, doesn't stay there for long and then, it goes up to Heaven... I mean it is jsut my opionion though... And yes.. the thing about dinosaurs would be a pretty cool story.. with existance and all.. i think it would be cool if all of a sudden dinosaurs started to exist again out of nowhere.. Although, there would be a little too much chaos for me to handle.. But, it would still totally be cool..

The chaos would be fun to write... ok so a soul, when somebody dies, goes to the next kid born and stays there for a while? Then leaves? To whatever's next?

LOL... Yea, I guess soo.. Well, I mean it could be a while and then, it leaves and goes to Heaven or down south of the border.. I mean it is just an opinion.. I really have no idea... What do you think??

I think when you die, your soul just goes where ever it's going. Each is individual. Otherwise, what would be "I"?

Thats a fairly neat concept. Do you think that perhaps when you die you can choose to be reincarnated or to rest and go to heaven?
I was thinking the other day that it would be quite boring to just sit around in the very bright place of heaven for all eternity. I think I would rather have another life.
This good friend of mine that I went out to lunch the other day with was telling me about her religion and their beliefs. She is Buddhist and it was so interesting. They believe in a lot of things which make sense to me (not that I want to be buddhist, but u don't have to be to believe in that stuff) The religion is all based on nature and living the best existance u can. Its all about not being depressed and they ponder about their existance, but mostly they think about the here and now, which I thought was really neat.

Well that is also in Hinduism... If you have not served well you are reincarnated and serve another life worshipping God.. I think that if you are good to people in your life you might not get reincarnated and God helps you out just as you have helped others... I think it would be cool to choose if we can stay in Heaven or be reincarnated...

Ah yes, and then eventually you reach Nirvana, or the Hindu's form of Heaven. I think I would rather be reincarnated, especially as an animal. I think if I have been reincarnated I have been a hawk a horse and a dog or wolf. That's also an interesting concept. What would u be reincarnated as? could u be reincarnated as an alien?

Perhaps I was a Sergyon in my past lives.....a Sergyon named Shataarah. Maybe that's why those characters feel so personal. Hmmm, that's kind of cool when u think about it.

I don't really know how to reply to that... I would be reincarnated as a house cat maybe.. I would want lots of love and warmth..

Very nice fic idea there, Silver. I keep to Christian beliefs; Heaven is meant to be a place of great joy--it can't be boring, And I will be closer to God then ever possible here.

Oh.. see it is interesting to see peoples different points of view on existance... I mean we all believe different things... it is a very controversial issue...

But then again, people's concept of a bright, white joyous heaven can't be heaven to everybody. Everyone thinks as their perfect place differently. I know I would be in excrutiating pain just staying in one spot for eternity. Eternity is quite a long time ya know.... Spaz brings up a good point. People have different tastes and that's why I can't give credit to the idea of "one heaven, where everyone is perfectly happy and they all live for the rest of forever." It just doesn't seem to fit. It doesn't really matter to me much because I know that what ever happens it'll be an adventure. Who knows, when we're dead, we just might be dead, no heaven, no hell, just dead and buried. I think a lot of times people make up places like heaven or reincarnation so that they don't have to think about this. No one knows what really happens when u die, there is no way to know, but people don't want to just think of themselves as a dead rotting corpse when they die. No one wants darkness, no one wants the unknown. Death is a serious thing. It happens to everybody sooner or later, and the sacariest part about it is that no one knows. How does it feel to die? Where do you go when you die? No one can answer these questions, not even with religious beliefs. All you have is your faith...and ur hopes.

it is an adventure, isn't it? I do things just to see what it's like, because I've never done it before and probably won't do it again. Why not think of death the same way? I like that. 'Tis cool.

I get scared when I think about death... To you death might be cool but, to me it is just plain scary.. I have ot think of something happier than death.. It could be an adventure it might not.. No one that has died can come back and say oh, yea Heaven ius wonderful and we all can choose where to go when we die...

that's kind where i'm coming from. If you don't know what death is, why not think of it as something to find out? I mean don't hurry it or anything, but see no reason to fear.

Well, see that is your opiniion.. I mean if death comes you would never see anyone you love again... Everything you learned would be gone and everything you worked for... I don't know it is just my opinion but, to me I can't talk about death too much because then I start to freek out... Like now..

1000 things against my beliefs...1000 reasons not to get involved. No really, I shall be brief. Heaven is perfect; perfect means there is nothing wrong with it; meanning, heaven is a place where you are perfectly happy. No exceptions. All who reach heaven are happy for eternity. As far as reincaranations go, I donot believe in them. My faith teaches that once you die, there are two places you will go: either heaven, through purgatory or not, or, God forbid, hell. No choosing after you've died. Your fate is decided by the Surpreme Judge, who will judge you accordingly, as He will judge all. I could go on, but I'll turn this into a big religion debate, and I HATE debates. Loose my focus when they happen. =P

[glow=red,2,300]LOL.. okay MFB... so then why should he judge.. I mean it should be us who choose.. If I were to go to Heaven I would want all my family and ancestors up there and friends.. I would want to ask questions that would be answered by those who have died in my family and just learn what it was like,...[/glow]

...
Because He made us...lol
I mean, He is the Creator, and we are the created. You choose wheather or not you go to heaven beforehand on earth, by the actions and decisions you make. If you choose to reject Him and His commandments, then...you're in deep water. Not to say you couldn't repent and convert, but all would have to be done before death, not after. "Not all who say 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the Kingdom of heaven."

I would love to see my family but, hey whatever he wants... He gets to decide.. he could always flip a coin to see where you are going... Heads is Heaven tails is Hell...[/glow]
