Do You Think Heaven Exists?

[GommeInc]

Of course i want Discussions to exist that what we are here for to DISCUSS don't you get it? I don't want to join Yahoo! Answers just to answer questions my whole life i want to be somewhere like this Forum and do stuff so umm yeah...

So why are you questioning the point behind this discussion of whether or not a heaven exists, basically saying, Search it on Google?
You don't want discussions, you want people to simply find out through Google, which makes no sense - where's the discussion in that? You've turned a simple discussion about an existence of something, into "People should search for answers on Google" :/

People are scared of the unknown about death so hope that there's an afterlife or a heaven to ease their fears. I don't think there's a heaven where people chat and meet up with other dead relatives and friends (just like Earth weirdly, which is far from heavenly!). Heaven is an emotion not a place and when Death comes, you will have that heavenly feeling where you finally leave the world behind with all its pain and insecurities. As you can see, I have a negative view of the world!

As buttons said though, we'll never know until it happens. The one thing I'd be scared of is that if there's a God but you were an atheist on Earth, how annoying would that be?! I'm agnostic, that's my excuse*!

Not sure, I'd agree it gives people comfort. Funny when the people who are like "science is the infallible truth!!" (hello Does God Exist? thread) start going on about they believe in some spiritual afterlife though. I guess that proves how much of a comfort it is. Science tells us that when we die our bodily functions shut down and we cease to exist as a functioning human body and eventually as a corpse unless you're frozen or cremated or something. You didn't exist before life so why should you exist afterwards? Kind of pointless to rave about how omniscient science is then contradict it.

I'm with the tramp kid. Google is fine. Yahoo answers works.

I think that people prefer to type it on here because they feel it's a more human response. I dunno

But I think god is a load of **, but i hope heaven does exist and i am wrong.

Yes. End

No. It's a comfort thing for the weak minded. Also a component of religion that is used for control.

Not exactly, it's a generalisation saying it is for the weak minded and that only religions follow the idea of a Heaven :S

Some people believe in an after life, or Heaven, because they feel there must be something to believe in. Many clever philosophers follow this theory. The idea of a Heaven has always existed, religion has just piggy-backed it and is just one branch of the after-life - arguably, you don't have to belive in a deity to believe in an afterlife, the both aren't connected - a God and Heaven is believed in, but you can believe in an afterlife or "Heaven" without believing in God.

But yeah, to me it's a nice thought of there being a Heaven, but that's just it - it's a nice thought that Grandpa, Skittles and any other people and animals have gone off to a Heaven and are together.

And OMG there's a bug behind the screen :S
