RE: RE: Not by faith alone (nsc)

Buddhism is the one and only religion that I believe in a bit, but even they go overboard on the "after life thing", IMO. They claim the don't believe in a soul, but they actually do if you read their teachings, they just don't call it a "soul". But I like the fact that they (well most of them) also don't believe in any gods, too. They do believe in the energy that life generates, and so do I, but they believe it lives on after death and in time - if you don't make it to Nirvana, then you come back to life as a new new person and get another clean shot at reaching Nirvana in your next life. I can't be so sure of that energy living on after we are gone. It would be nice of course if it does live on, but like gomper noted, we - that is, none of us - have any way of knowing if this is true or not. My guess is, if it is true, and we do live on in this matter, well we won't even know it.

But again, I like what the Buddhist teach on this, just live your life as a good person, be the best you can be to yourself, your family, and all of those who you encounter in your life, and with some luck after you pass on, you just might make it to Nirvana. Again, I dig that talk, but the Nirvana part of it is once again man worrying about what's to come, and I say as long as you live a good life and are a good person, then don't you worry 'bout a thing as to what lies ahead for you when your time is up.
