I vote no, though technically I have no clue. I think it is more important to live like this is the only life you get rather than wasting time focusing on prepping for the next life. | | How can you have any pudding if you won't eat your meat? |

Just speaking from my perspective, but I don't live my life to prepare for the afterlife. I live my life as this is my only, but I also live it in a way that I think God would find satisfying. But the tough thing is that whole concept is very blurred. As much as many Conservative Christians would like to believe and force that it is black and white, it just isn't.
Every day I consider what I do and how I'm living and I process what that means. But, I could try to think of what God thinks of my life and the truth is, I won't really know until I die. |
My key thing is I'm not looking for punishment or reward later. How I treat people now is key because it happens to them now and how they feel about it is now, rather than not treat people like garbage because I'm afraid someone is tacking on pluses and minuses on some ledger system somewhere.
I've had this debate with my Mormon friend, who said that with no possibility of eternal life what is the point of life? I looked at him and said "Back when I was a Boy Scout we had a saying 'Leave the campsite better than you found it.' That, to me, is the meaning of life."
He looked back at me and said "I can't argue with that."

| But is there an afterlife? Let's get this lol back on topic |
yo but if you're constraining life to the physical body then probs not altho then look at the ship of theseus and what precisely is the body and is any body the same body if it's not identical a second later and then if you're not constraining life of the individual to the life of the body then are we even born do we ever die and what would after be if there's always life RT followback |
Exactly, so both yes and no |
yo goddammit bro don't go all heraclitus on me now with all this unity of opposites shit cmon man even if you can't step in the same river once you still got your feet wet by something and we can still give that something a name and oh shit we're back to the prisonhouse fuck |
Maybe it is the river Lethe and we forgot we stepped in it?

Everything within the universe has been created from something, so it's only logical to assume that the same goes for everything that exists outside it as well if we're talking consistency and leaving a creator out of it.
That's how I see it, at least. |
It's kind of like the chicken or the egg argument |
it was the egg homie
|
True- we had dinosaur eggs and such before chickens even evolved. I've always thought this was an easy question.

yo dawg so maybe virgil was right and we're all just reincarnated amnesiacs dang son |
but yo dawg how would this account for population growth unless maybs you've got a fractional soul situation going on (and how would that work) or maybe souls are actually a monad but then if there's a unity of souls aren't we right back to what i was saying at the jump where we are more than our bodies and the emergent property that gives rise to our we-ness (lolol) is only evident when you look at humanity as a whole and maybe that's the biggest problem here that no human can get external to humanity so how are we supposed to be objective about this thing we're saying is an object i mean wtf |
yo holmes its like this you gots the rocks and shit and all dem animals and they be all reincarnated assholes that fucked up their dharma and shit so dat they be stuck as rocks but its fucking hard to be a bad rock knowwhatimean so more of dem ricks becoming people and shit dig it man | | How can you have any pudding if you won't eat your meat? |
