So, you make it through this life, and then what? You rest in peace? What peace? If you're lucky, you go to Heaven where you have to listen to f*cking angel music & s*it, or God droning on an on (and on) about how righteous he is, or if you go to Hell you basically bake & regenerate so you can bake again endlessly, or if you're Buddhist you come back as a tree so you can be cut down, or a homeless peep if you were a Wall Street banker or s*it, or if you believe in some other dopey religion you go to the Hell Of Being Skinned Alive or s*it...
I mean, it never ends, does it?
Frak.

Why so bitter?
I've done a ton of research into it. Life after death DOES exist. It may be a different realm for your spirit, but when you die, it happens whether you'd like it to or not. Our minds can't in their physical state comprehend this, but as we cross over to the spirit realm, you will.
Heaven is a place of eternal love, peace, and happiness. No war, bickering, or hate.
How in the world would that be a bad thing? Do you believe Chrisisall?

Well, some things are true Chris. Seems a good, oh, 99% of your emotions, your "unrest," arise from the interface between spirit and matter (so when the psychologists say all your neuroses can be traced back to "fear of death," they're not entirely wrong).
So when ya die, you let go of the vast majority of your troubles and therefore, "rest in peace."
You know this to be true.
Think of dying as a kind of waking, a break from all the chaos of life-on-earth. An opportunity to take stock before you take the blue pill and plunge back in.
Funny thing is, we keep comin' back, now, don't we? Must be something in the water.

Hey, hey, hey, don't be mean. We don't have to be mean, because, remember, no matter where you go, there you are.

Pray tell, enlighten us if you can, oh Grasshopper!
Or rather don't bother, since what you will say is only what you believe, not what you know, as if anyone can know.

Quote:LOL, funny you should put it in quite that way, HK. I couldn't have said it better, and it happens to be precisely what I personally hold to be true.

Hey,even though I am no where even CLOSE to being a good Catholic( think of me as steadily falling!);I DO believe that quite a few of the major religions get at least some of it right-we most likely DO go on after shuffling off of tis mortal coil....
It would be kind of cool to see if one of the "also rans" nail it m,though-picture some fusion of the Rastafarians,Norse,Sikhs and Hasdic Jews for a "next chapter-next verse"...you think they'd allow Bob Marley and Jimi Hendrix to be part of Valhalla's house band????Maybe throw in Ashton from the Stooges&Mia Zapata from the Gits...
I DO cocur with an earlier posters not being down with the whole "blessedly bored "thing;but maybe your perspective changes as your existence does.
Another one of those isues for th eholy men to debate....

You know what sticks in MY craw? That "original sin" BS. We all carry it? 
Any book says a baby is a sinner is patent crap in MY book.
And that book says a child dies as a baby goes straight to Heaven? That could be interpreted to say the best thing you can do for a baby is kill it; it doesn't have to live on this dirty mortal coil, and it goes to the sweet spot immediately.
What kind of nonsense is that?
Original sin. Huh. Original nonsense is what it is.
Tell ya what- I'll take a time machine, go back and smack that effin' apple outta Eve's mouth, that'll mess up things for the Military Industrial Complex, eh?
And F*CK Beelzebub. He's a punk. OOoooooh, gonna torture me in Hell, is he? With no BODY??? Gonna make me THINK I have nerve endings to fry? I'm his worst f*cking nightmare, I am. Or at least a potential irritant.
Did I offend anyone yet?
Wanna make fun of Buddha & see how upset I DON'T become? 
I'm just a fly in the ointment, a monkey in the wrench, and for your information, God thinks I am very funny.
