I DON'T KNOW. I have no reason to believe an after-life exists until I have concrete evidence of it's existence. NOBODY KNOWS, that's the most logical answer to that question.

Good to know that you assume that he knows more about my religion than I do based on practically nothing although I am hardly christian I believein a higher power and i'm not the dreaded Christian elitist that you are trying to put me out to be.Originally Posted by 23ska909red02
He's not blatantly disrespecting your religion.
You're looking for him to blatantly disrespect your religion, and you think you've found it.
Still it stands, though: he's not blatantly disrespecting your religion.
And I'll throw this opinion out there for good measure: he probably knows more about your religion than you do, and probably knows more about how it's supposed to be practiced than you do.
Also, take a look at the crosses in my sig. That's right, all of the posts in here being made by me are being made by someone who tries to follow Christ's example and who has studied the Bible for hundreds upon hundreds of hours.
So I can say with confidence that he's certainly not disrespecting my religion. Is he blasting some of the people in my religion? Yeah, but I do the same exact thing, both on here and offline.
He's not disrespecting any religion, at least not in here. "You like McDonalds? I hate some of the people that like McDonald's, and I choose to make my own food" is NOT disrespectful to McDonalds.
I could care a lot less if he's not disrespecting you but we're two different people and to me it couldn't be any more obvious.
But since you're willing to overlook everything said here to try and make me into the bad guy for backing a religion when I see it getting BLATANTLY disrespected, kudos.
At the end of the day I still believe what I want and vice versa so IDK why i'm even in here trying to prove a point to anyone on Niketalk.

Why did you decide to make this choice for yourself? I am not one to say if it is good or bad for you... but I would think there had to be some event in yourlife that showed you there were no options. Did you once believe in God, and he let you down some sort of way? Prayers not answered? I mean, obviously no oneis born with this mindset, especially something of this nature. It seems as if you turned to someone at a time when you had no path, and they instilled thisinto your brain and daily function/out take on life.
Can you answer these questions, and let me know if there is any truth to what I brought up?
Thanks G, and I believe in God if that matters

I know this: you have a chip on your shoulder.
I never said was assuming anything about you; I stated an opinion. Based on nothing? No, based on how approachable and unassuming you've been in thisthread (you've been neither).
You say it's obvious to you that he's been disrespectful? Exactly what I said about you; you think you've found something, and you're trying torun with it.
What's your religion? You said you're hardly Christian. So are you Christian... kind of? Or did you mean that you are another religion? Whatever thereligion is, how has he disrespected it? Like I said, blasting some of the people in your religion and choosing not to join your religion is NOT disrespectfultoy our religion.

No he doesnt practice any of that crazy stuff. There are no demonic rituals, no satanic rituals. im quite sure he doesnt participate in any of that cult like behavior like you talked about. Its more of a philosophy about life that he adheres to, dont think he does any of the things that you mentionedOriginally Posted by ericberry14

No offense but many satanist do practice rituals I unfortunately went to a white high school and I would ask those goth people and they said theywould sacrifice cats disrespect crucifixs and things like that.
Now I understand they may might been a whole other type of religion as yours but they called themselves satanist also, so excuse some of the ignorance peoplehave about your religion/philosophy because there are satanist out there that carry out stereotypes you denounce.

yea i kno what ur talkin about. But im pretty sure he's not a Satanist in the sense that he completely hates god & does all that stuff.They just happen to call themselves the same things, but they seem to be worlds different. It does kinda suck that he's getting lumped in with those crazyfolks though

FROM WIKIPEDIA
Satanism is a term that refers to a number of different fantasies, activities, values, and belief systems depending on the person using theterm and context of its usage. Their commonality is that they all feature the symbolism of Satan, the Devil, or the like, which originated as achallenging role within Judaism (in The Book of Job), and developed within Christian mythology into a cosmological adversary.
There are two primary forms of Satanism; Theistic Satanism andLaVeyan Satanism. Theistic Satanists believe that the Devil is a realbeing with existence, whom adherents venerate as a deity or entity with whom to cooperate. Some,though not all, theistic Satanists consider Satan to be benevolent. LaVeyan Satanism[sup][1][/sup], in contrast, is atheistic. These latter Satanists believe that the Devil is merely symbolic of humanity's carnalnature.
Because some Satanists actively worship the Devil, believing him to be a real deity, theycould be viewed as being a Christian denomination[sup][2][/sup].
It is often the practice of any given Satanist not to refer to themselves with a hyphenated prefix. Each "type" of Satanist will usually refer tothemselves only as "Satanist".

If his answer contradicted your beliefs in the afterlife, would it matter?
This isn't a criticism of you Ma'am. But I've never understood why people even get mad when someone's beliefs go against what they personally believe.
For example, I've personally witnessed Atheist getting upset when someone tells them that they will go to hell. If a person doesn't believe in hell, why the hell would it matter if someone believed that they would go there.
Conversely, I've also experienced Christian's getting upset when a person tells them that there is no such thing as heaven. What you believe is what you believe.
oh i know what i believe and i could care less if what someone else believes is different from me. I was just curious as to where he thought he would/hopedhe'd end up in the event there IS an afterlife. people get mad about the dumbest things im not going to try to force anyone to believe something or in aplace in particular just cause i think it's right. therefore if he felt like he was going to end up in candy mountain in his afterlife it makes nodifference to me, why should i get upset? i was just wondering.
