Matthew 10: 14
 

There's an old saying
" if the shoe fits, wear it

I have been told that the lights go out.

The correct is "Thou shall not commit murder"...

As a matter of fact I don't believe in Animism

The state and federal government taxes your estate, even though they already taxed it when you earned it.

Yeah, hunters' lives matter!

Those that spin the most compelling after-life story WIN. They get the most followers and therefore the most money. Maybe I can start a religion that allows everyone to saddle up a dragon and ride around Disney World in their afterlife. Or maybe become an invisible spirit so they can easily snoop on their Villager friends. That has potential.

And without faith, most would be reduced to that; cynicism, acrimony, oh why list it… we can see what the world has become. (I said most, not all.)

Who says we are "entitled" to anything? When your parents created you, you were born into a world, country, town family that was making use of the things they worked for, whatever kind of work that might have been. All living things work for there survival.

Am I "grateful"? The word "Grateful" implies a benefactor(s). Instead of saying grateful, it might be more accurate to say I am happy for the many good things in my life. I am thankful to my parents, family for providing for me and loving me.

"Is the universe designed or did it magically show up?" Only two choices? God or Harry Potter are my two choices?. If I were an atheist with a sarcastic sense of humor, I would probably say, "What difference does it make. They are both fictional characters". But I am not an atheist. What if I said that I think that God, as most people envision him, doesn't exist, and He didn't make the universe. But, something incomprehensible might exist, and it came into being with the universe and is part of it.

Taxes, in general, are MERELY designed to provide revenue for various governments. "Fairness" isn't attempted because it would be impossible to please everyone. Too many people look for logic and "fairness" in the tax system. The system is created by lawmakers that are available and imperfect. Better to just accept taxes as part of modern life.

Estate taxes, the so-called death taxes, are not actually unfair as most would think - but actually in keeping with the VERY American ideal that each generation and each individual should be required to earn THEIR own wealth........not get their wealth HANDED to them on a platter from their parents. The basic HISTORIC principle is that without estate taxes the US would evolve FROM a Democracy into a KINGDOM, like the Old England that the Colonists ran (or sailed) away from. So, Estate or death taxes are basically a good thing that helps INNOVATION and helps the average man keep the KINGS away. There are and have been many schemes implemented by large estates to avoid paying estate taxes. These are all to the benefit of individual families, but to the detriment of American SOCIETY.

Therefore, after you die, if your estate has paid its FAIR share of estate taxes, you can float around in the clouds of heaven playing a harp and feeling GOOD that you left the world a better place.

Having been dead and not at all religious... it was quite peaceful. Never saw any supreme being either good or bad. Just an indescribable peace and understanding of everything. It took me months to relive what I had experienced in as many seconds. Still haven't completed the job as I've started to forget many of the finer details of the trip.
If and when it happens again, I Do Not want to come back.

Bla bla bla

I guess the good news is that my cell phone is still working, somewhere

I believe when we pass, our energy goes to a loving, kind "space" where will see our loved ones who passed before us.
I was raised Catholic but do not practice it or any other "man made" religion. To me, they were mostly made for power and money. I definately do believe in a "God"...a higher spirit with no particular religion. I think Budda, Jesus, Allah etc. do represent God. To me the Higher Spirit is the combination of them all

Absolutely nothing

Oh my! I hope you have an unlimited plan.

There is another thread for that. 😏

Lights out. That's all folks!

The worms crawl in and then you shake 'em all about...............La la la la la la la la la.
That's what it's all about.

Have a good time.

Peaceful
 

The exact moment of death is peaceful. Just that moment, no matter what took you there. It's birth that's painful. Being pushed out of a warm, safe place into a brightly lit, noisy room, then being spanked is the pain!

Live in the now
 

figure out a way to spend it all. And if you can't, be sure everything is in a trust or Uncle Sam will rob your inheritors.

Hunters
 

On Venus the animals have the guns, and they mount human heads on their walls!

Live in the Now. Find Inner Peace. Work on your childhood issues. Learn your life lessons, and work on those. Practice Acceptance, Love, Forgiveness, Understanding, and be a Good Listener

Sounds like it is that orgasm that kills ya.

I apologize to the person that said something about a silly comment. They were talking about another comment, not mine.

And some of those people never looked better. Almost lifelike. 👵👴👩👳👷👦👱

My tombstone will read, " He came and went!"

Yes, turnabout is fair play. And I was just joking about the, "hunter's lives matter".

Rodney Dangerfield's tombstone reads--

"There goes the neighborhood."

Another post about thwarting the estate tax. Please refer to my post at 211. Estate tax gets a bad rap in layman's terms, Actually, 90% of all people are never affected by estate tax because it applies ONLY to very large estates. Many people only WISH that they had enough wealth to be affected by it.

Taxes get a bad rap as does LARGE State and Federal government. Without taxes, there would be no interstate highways to drive on. Without taxes, the US would NOT have a large and effective military, which keeps Russian and Chinese soldiers from kicking people out of their homes and into concentration camps. So, be careful what you wish for when you want lower taxes because we are all too old to learn a new language like Russian or Chinese.

So, in thinking about what happens when you are deceased, I would recommend not focusing on how one feels about big government's worth and efficiency, but on the efficiency of the US military, which gave America GREAT wealth and prosperity after WW2. We owe the ones that died too early that much.

What else is part of God's plan? How about childhood cancer or natural disasters with loss of life and total devastation or....... you get the idea. Asking for a friend.

What he said^^^^

The Christians "stole" that fairy tale about a virgin mother from the Pagans. The least the Christians should have done was make up their own story.

Correction.......BLIND faith.

What's GOD have to do with cancer? How do you know that cancer is not caused by man? According to some on here, natural(?) disasters are caused by man caused climate change. Interesting how there are many folks in the world that wish to blame GOD for anything that happens to them, yet insist that man has caused all of the naturally occurring changes. Some folks need to make up their minds.
