You are what you are until you die. It is always you will ever be. This is the only impression you will ever leave on people who knew you, and it is enough. Who will remember you 10,000 years from now? It doesn't matter. It only matters to those who fear death, and who think there is something somehohw positive in living forever. If some believe that living forever is adbantageous, they don't unterstant the immediacy of time.

Sorry for all of you who fear death more than I.

Maybe it helps to forget.
I myself am confused to pieces over 40 years of a very uneventful, quiet existence.
Can't imagine coping with remembering the years and events of past lives too.I am truley sorry, and mean no disrespect to you. But I do not understand much of what you just said. How can someone be confused by a very uneventful quiet existance? Most people would give there right arm for that kind of life. and your reply makes me question even more that God is forgiving or that he exsists. And as far as this being hell on earth, If you could not cope with your past lives too, Well what are you coping with that would make this hell for you? And why do you get a quiet uneventful life, while others are suffering with illness, starvation, there own governments turning against them, broken hearts, loss of every concievible thing imanginable? PLEASE tell that to the the 2 year old little boy who will die tonight becuase there was no food or medical attention for him that he sufferd be cause God is a mystery. But there is a reason you have a quiet uneventful life here in hell and he had to suffer every single day of his life.
Please tell that to the aids baby that no one wants that he has to be alone and suffer Because God see's it fit to give you and others a quiet uneventful life in hell and others will suffer and continue to suffer!
My point exactly! God is fair, and forgiving! I believe the only ones who believe that are the ones who live quiet uneventful lives, and keep blinders on to what is happening to the rest of the world.
I personally beleive that wether there is a God or not the world is ours and it is what we make it. There is suffering and there will all ways be suffering until each and every single person is willing to help each other, instead of trying to hurt each other.
It just seems to me that there are to many people in the world that turn there back on a fellow human being, and says Sorry Bub, we all have our own problems your in hell with the rest of us. Deal with it!
No one seems to think what happens in there lives is fair. I wonder just how many people have ever said Why God why me this is so unfair! Did God do it or did we do it to our selves?

the thing is what you are asking is exactly what I see none believers doing.
So all our acts of righteousness are like filthy rags before the God of creation , so no one can do enough good to make a dent.

Jesus was reported to have risen from the dead, and he said "I give you also the ability to do this"---- so with out Jesus what happens to that ability?

and that is the main division in religions -- the centrality of Christ-
and the choice to search it out is yours alone- whats important to you?

Don't let trish hear ya...

Actually, in my experience people are people.

There are lots of non-believers aswell as believers that do good.

hey Trish has her opinion I have mine I dont try to stop her posts and think she is probably a very fine person.

Hi Omega,
If there's one thing we have here on CS, it's different opinions.... which is a good thing, imo.
I think Trish is prolly (most likely) a fine person, too.
As you and I prolly are....

For the record, I personaly could never imagine any act of kindness being like a filthy rag before god or humanity...

Hi Trish, if you're there

Nor could I

If I meet a stone cold drunk on the street and he asks me for money and I give it to him,( an act of kindness) and he goes staggering across the street and almost gets hit by a car but the car misses him and crashes into a mom and her children who are killed in the impact how many peoples lives have I just affected in a positive way ?
Im sure an intellect more advanced than ours could see many such situations.
Also I am sure that such an intellect needs nothing from me.

That's a pretty far stretch for an example!

I was about to agree that ''that intellect'' needed nothing from us, 'cause that's the feeling I always got too, of a being untouchable and almighty.

But actually, I am agnostic and resolved to the idea that I have no way of knowing if anything is there, let alone what the nature of what might be there might be....

But I like to be open to ideas/discussion.

Like I said a few posts ago: What if we are actually all a part of god (which some people on this earth believe)??

Then maybe, yes, god needs our kindness, 'cause our malice only serves to destroy us (as a whole).
Therefore affects god......

Omega, I'm only ''what iffing'' here. I hope you won't take my doubt and questioning as anything else...

The op is poseing the theory of _ God as fact- I myself believe the universe as a whole is in need of kindness- but mostly we need it with a great amount of wisdom and understanding thrown in
