In response to Excellent Question posted by HeadZenCards:
.
The chances are that IF THERE IS A GOD as is proclaimed by so many religionists, then the existence we are in will be consistent of any existence that is to come in some other dimension.
.
If one thing is true, it is that there are certain rules followed by nature. The fact that we have been fortunate enough to have been born into this experience of life is, in and of itself, evidence that luck or good fortune, plays an important part in whatever unfolds. That we have received this opportunity to experience life gives us reason to believe that if there is a creator, that creater would not create beings to dispose of us in an eternal hell of pain and misery.
.
The Creator--then--is a Giver of pleasure. Anything less that pleasure is brought about by the altenative actions of human beings, that is, mans inhumanity toward man. Otherwise, we would be acting with the Creator to enhance life's experience for each and every person who is in this existence with us. The fairy tale stories of the pie in the sky world as it is portrayed by peddlars of the false hope of a bodily resurrection into a perfect example of this experience are just that--fairy tales.
.
When we come face to face with that reality, we are in what some have referred to as an existential melt down--it can be horrifying. Falling backwards into black space as though it were a bottomless pit for ever and ever without end while all of existence laughs at your expense is hell in and of itself.
.
How can we escape such a fate?
.
With fairy tales?
.
I don't think so.
.
But, escape is possible.
.
Stay with it, Brother Jones, it is YOUR QUESTION. And I am addressing it.
