For those who don't believe in God.

Amrice78 · July 2009

I have a serious question for you that I have been pondering. Do you believe in the soul? If so, what happens to it? Honestly just curious what others believe.

cleeksock · July 2009

I believe that this is it. My life is all I get, so I have to make the most of it. When I die, that is the end.

when you die nothing happens.

Yes I believe in a soul, but prob. not the way you do. And I think you just go away and break back down into atoms to be reabsorbed into Earth & the universe.

I guess on some level I believe in the soul b/c I never believe that a person is really gone when they die. I think it's more about comfort for me though. Plus, I was brought up Lutheran and believed in God up until my mid-20s so it's kind of ingrained in me.

I can't understand that people don't believe in God after having a child - what a blessing!

Amrice78 · July 2009

so people don't have souls?

ETA: this question is directed at the first two responses.

I predict this whole post is headed downhill FAST!!

I think it all comes down to nobody knows the answer, so we all do what is right for us and I'm sure we all live our lives in the best way we know possible. I do believe you had a sincere question and weren't trying to start anything, but like pp said this could go downhill fast, especially with the random comments from other posters that throw it off.

Let me guess, if someone had asked about abortion, you would have said you can't believe people are still pro-choice after having a child?

(FWIW, I do believe in God).

Am I missing some sarcasm or are you just trying to post a completely unhelpful answer?

People can have thier own opinions!

I think it's a miracle there is life at all on our planet - but I still don't think it was started by a God. I don't think one proves the other.

I like to believe that everyone in my life is connected to me and that we will meet again someday. I'm not sure how, who is going to make it happen, or why.

Way to early for this! And no sarcasm here.

Yep, and not everyone is of the opinion that a child is a blessing.

I believe that when you die, you die. Nothing more to it.

Cec07 · July 2009

I will say I don't not believe in God. I don't know. I consider myself Agnostic.

But I'm a big science believer so like another poster said, I think we are bodies of energy, and energy can't be created or destroyed. We break down and go back to the earth.

I do have a little part of me that wishes I could hands down believe in a God because I think having faith can comfort and help people.

That being said, I have way too many questions that just have not been answered to my liking about God.

Amrice78 · July 2009

okay, I guess I didn't word this quite right. I get that people who don't believe in God think "when you die, you die, that's it". I was wondering about while you are on earth - do you have a soul and I guess how do you define a soul?

Sorry for the philosophical questions this early in the morning.

k8elee03 · July 2009

This is a good question. I think perhaps I am more of an agnostic than the atheist I thought I was. There is a part of me that thinks there must be something more than this. But the rational side of me thinks that that need is just for my own comfort.

Here on earth, I guess I'm not sure. I beleive there is a something more than the flesh and bones that makes us who we are, and I guess that would be the part you might call a soul? I'm 100% sure I don't believe in soulmates, but that's a different question.
