But the film possesses genuine artistic distinction, and it encompasses an emotional cycle that is more profoundly touching than most human make-believe.

What hunters do is help the population control of wild animals so they don't die a horrible death from starvation due to overpopulation. Not to mention the millions of dollars they put into the economy pursuing this activity. Try doing some research on the subject before condeming it.

As for afterlife, I am a firm believer that we are just compost or ashes after death.
No spirits in the sky, harps, or fluffy clouds.

My very thoughts.

Ha ha!
First, I am not against hunting. But your response sounded almost like a public service announcement to me. "We kill them to control the population and keep to keep them from a horrible death of starvation". Wonder if that would work as a defense for serial killers and school shooters.
Might be good for another thread. This is about what happens when YOU die.

Yeah about an hour after my beloved Mother died I bumped into a friend, at that time a real friend and he told me something very comforting. He said only 104,000 of earths very best people will be resurrected when earth doesn’t exist anymore.

I accepted his words because I had no interest in resurrecting his beliefs to align with mine. He really was a fine person who needed polishing in his presentation of how and when to deal his beliefs to others who he knew didn’t share his outlook.

His way showed little help for the future once you pass. The way I was raised taught us that the best is yet to come once you pass away. When I questioned my cousin who was a Monsignor in the Catholic Church he explained the importance of our faith he also never spoke down about my friends beliefs.

I feel good about my chances of going to what we call heaven and being reunited with everyone who has gone before me. I imagine it to be The Villages time’s a thousand.

I respect everyone’s opinions and or views on this matter. I lost my Dad when he was 53 and I think I was 17. My beliefs kept me from pulling the plug at that moment. I was raised with the beliefs I stated and still have them. Don’t get me wrong I don’t want to go yet because I’m just learning how to really live here but if it did happen I have NOTHING to worry about, I’m covered.

How many religions or spiritual belief systems have there been? Hundreds? Thousands? There have been many, each with its own group of stories re a possible afterlife. They can't all be correct. And at this point, I doubt any of them are. The 72 virgins? The golden plates story? Angels flying, with wings no less? Unfortunately, or fortunately, when you go, you go.

That's why it's called faith.

To all the nonbelievers: We are NOT human beings with an immortal soul, we are immortal souls with a human body. At the time of death our soul lives on, our body returns to the earth from which it came. I for one would rather go thru life thinking there is a God and an afterlife and be disappointed to find I was wrong than to go thru life denying God only to find at the time of death that He does exist.

Too many sublime things in nature and elsewhere not to believe that some kind of divine intelligence is involved. Also for evolution itself. You cannot get everything out of NOTHING. And there had to be some kind of direction in the chaos of evolution.

A lot of religions do seem to be about rulers devising ways to manipulate their subjects into behaving themselves with a better afterlife for them. Other religions I am not so sure. Judaism, Islam, Christianity, Buddhism, and Hinduism seem to have something more going on than say how the ancient Egyptians controlled their subjects. Hinduism Basics - Hindu American Foundation

A silly answer, you didn’t saying anything very bright except you must not believe in GOD. I just gave my opinion what I think!

Trying to figure out what happens to us after we die is like an ant trying to figure out how a nuclear power plant works. We have been evolving as a species for only a miniscule 300,000 years, while the universe is chock full of billions of planets (according to most astronomers and cosmic physicists), many of which are billions of years old. We simple humans cannot even figure out what "dark matter" is, even though it makes up 90% of the mass of the universe.

If there is some sort of force that we transcend to after our body shuts down, it is way, way beyond our imagination. This is why many people grab onto religion as a comfortable way to predict a happy landing as long as you follow various superstitious.

In the meantime, I am looking forward to an unimaginable journey which, in many millions of years from now, humans will be able to comprehend something called death that was back in archaic 2022. Bon Voyage!

Is your cell phone made from atoms? Is your cell phone made from everything else in the universe? Energy? Consciousness is everywhere. “God”. is everywhere. Is there anywhere God is not? All that IS….collectively is God. Nothing but God, who is experiencing through zillions of aspects of itself…some aspects have forgotten who they are and drifted far away from the main godhead of most divine energy (God/heaven), and the 3D game is to find your way back to knowing who you really are, because nothing in 3D can harm the REAL you…soul divine energy.
