I, myself, am not a religious person, per se. Im more spiritual than religious. I dont agree with a lot of what organized religions tell me. i believe a lot of it, but not all of one religion. That being said, i dont EVER judge anyone who does follow organized religion. I believe religion is incredibly personal, so i try not to discuss it too often.
What i am wondering, and i'd like to hear from people who do follow organized religion, and people that dont- is what happens to someone who doesnt believe in God when they die?
i believe in God- or at least a higher power. i also believe that as long as we have some sort of belief, we will be ok, because God is understanding. But for me, I believe that if someone doesnt believe, then there is nothing for them when they die. Not very comforting considering my PALS does not believe at all. I dont have the comfort of knowing that he will be free of his ailments and disability and have eternal happiness.
And because he believes there is nothing- he is, well, deathly affraid of dieing.
What do you all think? i know there isnt a right or wrong answer here. just would like your opinions.
i ask that people keep in mind that we may differ in our beliefs, so lets be respectful if we disagree with one another.
Thanks
