One theory is that when your house is about to collapse, you need to move to another house or it will cave in on you and you will die.


Another theory is this: there are 3 worlds. Worlds 1 and 2 are the ones you're in when alive, world 3 is the one you're in when dead. When you fall asleep in world 1 you wake up in world 2 and when you fall asleep in world 2 you wake up in world 1. And some you probably know the theory that when you die in your sleep you die in real life. My aunt knows someone who died in their sleep, lived to tell that they had died in their sleep, then died in real life. My theory is this: let's say John falls asleep in world 1 and wakes up in world 2. He then falls off a cliff and dies. He wakes up in world 1, because any form of unconsciousness, dying included, counts as falling asleep. And we all know that when you don't sleep you die. So John is stuck in world 1. He's dead in world 2 and will never be allowed back in. But he needs to go to world 2 every so often in order to stay in world 1. Now he's permanently banned from world 2. He's stuck in world 1 and dies from lack of sleep (sleep being going to world 2). So now he's in neither world 1 or woerld 2-- he's dead in both. So he goes to world 3.


Yet another theory is that the point of life is for the maximum amount of people to enjoy themselves. If you don't know what bad is, you can't appreciate good. So God allows people to experience sin. They say, "The Earth is the only heaven bad people will ever know and the only hell good people will ever know". This fits perfectly with the saying "Those who are first now will later be last, and those who are last now will later be first". Bad people have a ball on Earth because they rule it... not only do they have their own share of luck, but also the good people's which they stole. Because of this, of course, the good people have a horrible time. But then the bad people get punished for this and go to hell, and the good people go to heaven, because they've already learned their lesson about suffering, but the bad ones have yet to learn it. They wouldn't appreciate heaven, because they have nothing bad to compare that goodness to to truly appreciate it. And of course, furthermore, they would bother the good ones in heaven and it would be just like Earth. So anyway, once the bad ones learn their lesson they go to heaven because they can be trusted not to bother the good ones there and they will also appreciate it themselves.


However, that's just the Christian way of seeing things.


From personal experience and people's stories of near-death experiences, I'd say different things happen to different people.

Nice fanciful theory, but like all these other fanciful theories, no documented proof of any of it.

Carry on.

aren't you the nice one.

I can see that all theories are fanciful, the conservative and liberal ones too

That's a fact. Including those fanciful notions based on holybooks. If you're a human being, no human being has standing to preach to any other human being about what's not within the realm of human life no matter how big his stack of books is.

i think the 3-world theory is pretty cool, and makes you think. i dont know if it's true, but it's trippy.

dont listen to Clara-Listenprechen, she never offers anything but smart-a$$ remarks and a know-it-all attitude.

Hardly. I'm the one calling your bluff for posing as a know-it-all about any kind of afterlife when you're in no position to speak as an expert on the subject.

And you're not, anymore than any other human is. Make the claim that you are, and you're a bald-faced liar.

when did i ever make that claim? you are freakin crazy. go take some prozac.

I didn't say that you made the claim, either--YOU go take your prozac. What I said was conditional upon you making the claim. Should you make the claim, then....

Sheesh. When you get your head screwed on straight, get back to me.

take an objective look at the other posts you have written. you come off as a snob, to say the least. you really offer nothing. i dont even know what you are doing writing on this forum. It seems every post you make is an effort, and you almost sound like you hate doing it. You have no patience whatsoever.

Rip it to her!
