I always figured that if God has this great plan, then how dare we pray for him to change things just for us. The arrogance of humans! "Making a Godly omelette requires breaking some eggs. How dare you to ask me to change the recipe."
And, if God has it right, he will not change the recipe, maybe that means all things are pre-ordained. Prayer cannot change anything. Oh, sometimes it makes you feel better.

I believe you because you believe it. And all your other posts seemed to be logical and normal. In 1992 my wife and I were babysitting a friend's children one summer night in Arizona near Sedona. We saw some lights circling in a large ring about mid-sky, or about 45 degrees. I said that I was going to walk up with the friend's dog and maybe get a better look at it. My wife was spooked and did NOT want me to go. Of course, I went anyway. out of curiosity, I suppose. I watched and petted the dog for about 1/2 of an hour and walked back. It kept up all night. And the sunrise washed it out. Our friend lived there for 10 years and had never seen that. And definitely, no mushrooms were involved. It was probably an inversion layer of some kind reflecting light from some airport. But, the light rotation looked like something from a Star Wars movie!

Exclamation Dead is Bye-Bye Forever

Dead is dead. It is permanent. No one's ever proven it to be different.
Same for heaven and hell. They've never been proven to be real "places."
There are those who want to think they're real because of blind faith.

No one really cares anyway and no one is reading this because we're almost beyond the 10th page of this thread!

I tend to think of it like after you die, you get to spin a giant roulette wheel and it can stop on fish, grasshoppers, rabbits, bears, insects, and even humans. That way you get more variety and respect for the ecosystem.

As a very soon to be resident of TV, the stereotype I had that this post has proven incorrect, is that most residents were of deep Christian faith, regular church-goers, and having a biblical understanding of the afterlife. Though there are some, I am finding though I agree with most TV residents politically and economically, that many have no desire for anything spiritually or of Jesus, but a main focus of a temporal life devoted to leisure and fun.

People can't really help what they believe. They are taught/indoctrinated what to think and how to think and what to believe from childhood. As they grow thoughts and thinking patterns become more structured. Some rebel or refute anything that goes against their teaching. Others may be more flexible to allow them to see, accept and adapt to newer, better ways and ideas. People don't/can't just decide to believe differently any more than they decide to be a different blood type or change their species. Beliefs can be changed if one is able to assimilate new/different information.
"change their species" that suggested to me a possible similar thread like......if you had to come back as another species........what would that be?
