even the papacy is not exempted on medical/health conditions/complications............death is inevitable...........
maximize the remainder of your life...........spend it wisely with your family/friends/complete strangers.............in this way, you will NOT have to worry about the existence/absence of an "after-life".........
.
I actually take that seriously. I do believe that I currently may have some kind of growth/tumor in my lower right abdomen, but I don't plan to visit the doctor anytime soon--if my body quits on me, so be it.That's how life works--it has to end in order for other forms of life to begin. I'm insignificant.
I can die tomorrow and I have absolutely no issues about it--the world will go on (or at least I hope the SMART people who are left behind, those who are armed with reason and logic will keep it go on) without me.

P.S. Incidentally, my father died about two weeks ago. We were quite close. But did he believe in life after death? Nope. Did he repent and do all that mumbo jumbo in his deathbed? Nope. Do I believe in life after death? Nope. He was and I am, both of us, were/are absolutely comfortable in the idea that life and death is simply a part of the natural cycle--you once didn't exist, and thus you will cease to exist one day. Period. Nothing else. I think the sooner you accept that, the sooner you come close to reaching a form of happiness that not any religion nor faith can match, because it is an honest view of things.

bro ayaw kahadlok og hell.
walay hell.
if naa dili gihapon maapektohan ang imong soul.
Nganu man?
tungod kay ang soul energy form na siya.
walay feelings,conscious mind or sensation.
its like electricity or light.
can you burn light? can you burn electricity?
so the concept of hell is not logical or applicable to the soul if our soul is an energy form.
I don't believe in evolution either.
evolution is just a natural program left by the one who created the universe,
so that he doesn't have to do everything.
but the creator never made man from anything other than a man.
no amount of evolution can produce a man from the fish or a monkey.
they are all just speculations. im not an atheist.
i believe there is a creator but he is not the one described in the bible.
An assumption is different from a calculated prediction. For instance, I took photos of the Venus transit event last July 2012, but I already planned and prepared for it over three years ago pa. So how do I know that it will happen at that precise time? Did I make a hurried assumption? Nope, it was detailed, careful calculations and planning that leads to a prediction. Now yes, three years is different compared with 50 million or so years, or even a billion years, but if you UNDERSTAND how these processes work, you will cease to think that the human lifespan is the MEASURING DEVICE for you to appreciate these things--the human lifespan is INSIGNIFICANT against the backdrop of REAL time, and if an event follows the laws of physics, that prediction will remain true, as long as the math behind it remains true. So if 1+1 is still 2 a million years from now, then the predictions for movements of certain planets and stars WILL HAPPEN, whether you like it or not. If you study astronomy, you will realize how important this concept is in one's understanding of how things work in the universe.

- dli man ka dapat awayun , im an athiest , and i had that question before . .... and so then i dont want be hypocrite and stay believing something that we always commit as sin .
As long as your not hurting others , we always have our freedom of speech , athiest are going out of their closet. But why do we have to hide, when religion keep shouting on streets about burning on fire and brimstone , when they themselves commit such hypocritic acts ...
- we grew up with our subconcious mind ,with heaven and hell. but this is without basis...
just continue to ask questions bay. ..
- and dont be afraid about comments from ur friends and families if ur sharibng ur thoughts about what u dont like/understand about religion ,.
- I even ask my pastor before , why there such many religions and stuff , they cant give logical asnwers other than bible verses.
