Or more life, if your glass is half full.
And what if my glass is half full and half empty and half half-half?
No disrespect taken
My belief in the afterlife is what I believe the Bible describes it as. I believe in a heaven and hell and in a new incarnated earth. I believe in heaven we will have glorified bodies as the Bible says (not mindless spirits). I believe we will have relationships with others, be with God, have jobs, and live a perfect eternal life. I don't believe in the typical chubby angels and mindless spirits floating on clouds image.

my idea of heaven certainly DOES NOT include a job.
My own beliefs on an afterlife are very similar to Korimyr's. I don't know if it is really true or not, but it makes me feel good. I don't live my life for my afterlife though. I live my life according to what I think is right, whether there is an afterlife or not. I have no idea what would make any afterlife I might go into more or less desirable anyway. If there is no afterlife, then it really doesn't matter if I believed there was one or not. If there is an afterlife, then no one can truly know 100% what that afterlife will be like or what qualifications must be met to reach the most ideal part of that afterlife, so I have to live for what I believe is good right now without worrying about it.
I do not want to live after I die. When I'm through, I'd prefer to rest in peace.
1. The soul is immortal.
2. A person's fate in the afterlife is self-imposed.
In other words we are our own judge, jury, and executioner.
Thus, faith.No, I don't believe in life after death, for two reasons.
1. I have never seen any compelling evidence for it...
THis is curious.2. A life after death presupposes a soul. There is, however, decently compelling evidence against the existence of a soul. A soul would be, by definition, immaterial. But at the same time, it would have to be capable of interacting with the material world, otherwise, it would have no mechanism by which it could influence the behavior of its host body.
I am of the C. S. Lewis school of thought. "You don't have a soul. You are a soul. You have a body."

That's the beauty of free will - in the end, you have no one to blame but yourself.' All that are in Hell chose it."
I don't want to not disagree, nor didn't I not disagree negatively not positively and didn't not believe Unicorns don't not exist either.It's not that I don't believe Unicorns don't exist.
I know several of these.....I'll go about the world knowing that they don't exist. Same goes for leprechauns, ogres and dumb Asian kids.
I know several of these.
The most obvious answer is that I know several dumb asian kids.I noticed you didn't address the issue of leprechauns and ogres but only the Asian kids. Why not?
