this poses a very very serious question to me as im an atheist. i dont believe there is some all powerful being who knows everything were going to do even before we do. but at the same time i want to believe in some sort of afterlife because of gohsts. i know they exist, my own house is haunted more and more people are believing in them with the huge amount of evidence to support it. but still. i how do we know there is an afterlife.
If you Atheist, the afterlife is doesn't exist because afterlife is
concept that created by people who believe in God and great beyond to justify their Faith. or you can say the Illusion they need to defend their faith. for extreme case is confinced themself that their fucking faith is not wasted.
GHOST LOL
ghost is mass illusion that created by people who get their pant pissed by somthing that they not fully understand.
in example
(once in my village the number of people that missing from swim on the 'sacred' river is high. so some of moron people think there must be some supernatural being that guarded the river. or the soul of one that drown there is taking revenge. but not for so long ago, about a couple years ago, it found that the missing bodies actually dragged to underground river. yes a river beneath actual river. there no such supernatural bodies that proven true even when we research the ancient foklore)
(I had a friend had a home seperate from most of his neighbour and rod to his house is only single road that passing some spooky tree. once my friend invite his neighbour for a small party and on that party he spread a rumour that the spooky tree on their way is haunted by "kuntilanak" a week later the rumour gone wild, even some moron give a tribute to the soul that haunted the tree)
funny isn't it? about how illusion can make a people to stupidity. I bet OP is not stupid enough to believe any ghost stories.
to understand the after life you must believe first in god. and if you decide that. you'll know my religious answer about afterlife.
oh forgot in scientific afterlife does exist. the death of one indiviual means a life for a thousand individual. like bacteria, fungi, virus, parasite.
end of explanation. I hope you satisfy with my explanation
