Morals in life and death, are there any?

[death_to_all]

I want to know other people's opinion about morals. Does everyone think morals exist? What is counted as moral? Well it comes to life and death is it so very different. Give me plenty of opinions and I'll give you mine on the subject it is to be expected. What about opinions on life after death?

Personally I believe in reincarnation, but that is my own opinion, and I am not trying to push it on anyboddy, because it is only my belief, and maybe I am wrong. But if am wrong, and my religinol views are the wrong, and it turns out that there is a hevan, I belive that as long as you are a decent human and do what is right, there is no reason that me or you or even wufongtan ::Shudders:: should be accepted to heaven.

All my life I have been told that I am going to hell. And when I ask why, I am told it is because I am not a Christian, or otherwise.

The best way that I can explain my views is by saying this: Picture a beautiful Medow. Now imagine that medow as being what happens when we die, wether it be Heaven, reincarnation or even Nirvana. Now there are about a billion diffrent paths that go to that medow, but no matter what one we take, they all end up going to the exact same place, the medow (Hevan, Reincarnation, Nirvana) Each path represents a diffrent belief system, but as long as we travle the path with good intentions and love in our hearts, we will all end up in the same medow.

Reincarnation is one belief to take and a good one at that. I think that it could exist the thing is there is no real proof and no way to find out either. Say a person dies would it and could it be possible for them to come back and speak to you again but in as a different person or thing altogether. I believe and it is my right that it is possible but then again that's just the kind of person I am there are many people out there that will try and prove that I'm wrong but I'm not exactly trying to prove a point only a 'theory'.

I'm not a christian either but that doesn't make anyone any different from one another, there are many different beliefs in this world it just depends on which ones that you believe to be true. For instance a person may grow up in a place where religion is considered something of high importance then they will try and take a path into the right one no matter what their inner feelings may be.

I don't believe in many religions but there are some people out there that do and that is their right just as all people have their rights in believing what they want and having their own theories about things it's just in human nature to be like this. Curiosity about the world after death isn't so bad and isn't wrong either just as normal as can be.

I have investigated many religions, I have read a lot of the Christian Bible, I have read the Satanic Bible, some of the Torah and some of the Koran. But I have decided to devote my life Wicca. And I strongly support all religions.

I don't believe in gods or any kind of afterlife, but I do believe in morals, and I believe that they are derived from ones upbringing and experiences.

Both very intelligent questions, and it’s good to see so many positive responses.

Personally my opinion of these matters are,

Morals are created by society and culture. They change to fit the needs and aspirations of mankind in any particular environment, but more importantly, they are a valuable measure of how healthy our culture is. The belief that certain actions and behaviours are wrong can only work when a society is capable of providing for it’s members without resorting to ‘evil acts’. When a society is in deep trouble, morality suffers (The greatest acts of offence to our morality are almost always commited in an environment of social and economic turmoil, or deprivation,. think ‘Genocide’ and ‘torture’) The rise of civilization gave birth to morality, and as mankind continues to grow and develop, so will our understanding of what is right and wrong. There will always be those who are capable of evil, but these people are either mentally unstable, or psychologically damaged. Morality is a neccersary and (for the most part) beneficial facet of the human development.

Life after death is a more perplexing issue altogether. I believe that some form of existence must continue after death, in some form or another. Even if this amounts to nothing more than a trace of our energy waves reverberating out into the cosmos (anyone who doubts that this really happens should read up on their particle physics) The fact is there are more things going on in the great universal show than we can comprehend. Nobody can say for certain if there is a conscious form of existence after our ‘death’. Very nice to speculate ‘tho. If anyone is interested in the scientific argument in support of ‘supernatural’ ideas. The I can highly recommend the works of Lyall Watson. In particular, “Supernature” and “Gifts of Unknown Things” easy reads, and guaranteed to put a little ‘wonder’ into your life.

Both of these matters are extremely relevant to what we call ‘horror’ so it’s good to discuss them.

i believe in some of this, some of that.. which is why i would never join any one religion/organization/whatever

same in school. i never belonged to a clique. I hung out with a few of everyone.

I like to be Kristin.. thats it. I don't want or need titles. "I'm Kristin. I'm Wiccan." or "I'm a christian" ....no

there are people who think their importance is based on who they know, or what they do, what they own.... and im not at all for that.

I've had christians go up to me and tell me 'God wants me to do all this great stuff for people so I go out and volunteer and feed homeless people'

and i say to them 'i spend at least 4 hours if not 12 a week volunteering and nobody tells me to do it but me'

I dont belong to anyone but myself.
