its a question of faith, of a belief that there is some higher plain of existence, something to aspire to. look at buddhism, they believe in reincarnation, there whole belief system is based on the assumption that they have more than one lifetime (that and attaining spiritual enlightenment and many others). sure it makes death easier to handle, but i believe its more than that.
Your essence should be carried over shouldn't it? Their belief is that eventually you'd get into some symbiosis with the universe or something when you become perfect. The "am" will live one even If the "I" won't.
I have to say I argee with Pr1983 on this one1Being the first time I ever argee with someone on this site!Go Pr!JM

Yes, heaven is just a way for people to cope with death. It's much nicer to believe that when your loved ones die they go to some magical place in the sky, just like it's easier to tell your kid that their pet ran away to join the circus than it is to explain to them what death is.
That is true Cheese but I think that may be lieing to the kids.I mean in that sence it is ok to lie to them but one day I think it is good if you exclaim the truth to them.
That way they know.JM

I agree, people deserve to know the truth. Which is why I believe people should stop believing religious lies like heaven and hell and just live life for what it's worth.
lies? i'm sorry but how do you know? i don't know if there is anything more, but until we can prove otherwise i don't see anything wrong in believing that the human consciousness can expand and evolve after we die.
Well you can believe whatever you want, but in the end there is nothing to back that up. I can't prove there is no heaven, but I have no reason to believe there is. I'm just confused by the fact that it seem as if the average person does buy into heaven and hell and many other aspects of religion without even questioning it. As far as I'm concerned, it's not "how can you prove there's no afterlife?" it's "what is your reason for believing there is?" I understand people want hope and faith that life isn't it, but just because you want it to be true doesn't mean you can go around telling everybody that it is definitely true.
There is notheirng wrong with that too PR but the kids should know.What ever you belive in is what you should tell the kids.Maybe you are wrong but if it has something to do with your relion or whatever.
Kids deserve to know the truth.JM
