♂ life after death...
What is life after death.? When I was a christian, this used to be such a simple concept. There were only 2 options for life after death. Heaven or hell. Accept Jesus, you go to heaven. Don't accept Jesus, you go to hell. Simple as that. And then after I think about it for a while. It seems so selfish and plain wrong.
Do you accept Jesus just to get to heaven??? Does God use heaven as an incentive so that we accept him and worship him? What bout the billions of ppl out there in the world who never heard about Jesus??? Hell for them?? I can't accept a God like that... not that I believe in him anymore... You can say that I've abandoned my faith... I've stopped believing in God... because Heaven/Hell as life after death is just wrong... so wrong...
So what is life after death?? is there nothing after death?? Nah..
I've realised what life after death is really about... If someone asks me what life after death is... I would answer by pointing to my head and to my heart... Life after death are memories and dreams... Martin Luther King is dead, but his memories live on in our brains... and whenever we remember him.. our heart raced... because somehow... we have the same dream and passion as he did.. that people of all colours can live together in peace...
I guess life after death... are the memories that people have of the deceased person, and the dreams that are continued to be pursued by the succeeding generations... The question is... After you die, do you want to live??
