tizz Posted August 22, 2005 Posted August 22, 2005 OK so I copied this from something I astarted in another forum. I can't remember if I had it here but if I did I think it is gone now. OK I have no idea why I was thinking about this other than because I was explaining to my daughter how the worm she was trying to hand me (OMG I have the most irrational fear of worms YIKES) eatds bad dirt and poops it out as good dirt (essentially that is the truth). I got to thinking about all of nature and the circle of life and how I had been discussing with a few members how when I have a question I look to nature. Over on Plaza someone asked what happens when you die. Well I thought about it and I looked around my yard and saw nothing but reincarnation of sorts. All living things die, this is inevitable. What else inevitable is that all things eventually are turned one way or another in to something else. A plant dies and it returnes to the ground to becom absorbed by the earth and used to nurish and help grow another plant. When an animal dies it becomes nurishment for other animals plants ect and continually becomes part of something new. Native tribes believe that when you hunt, kill and eat and animal part of it spirit becomes one with you. In all of this I see what we call reincarnation, we die and move on to something new until our souls have attained universal knowledge. The cycle and circle of life continues infinately in nature and who is to say that the souls of living things do not follow similar steps towards purity. As things die, they become nurishment for the soile and the more death that enters the soil the more pure and nurished and fruitfull it becomes. It is this evidence that answers the question for me of what becomes of us when we die. God created nature as a pure existence of cycles and a pure existence of his power and ideology so to speak, and we as part of nature reflect that. God has not given us a hand written book of instructions written BY HIM in a universal language but he has provided universal answers that exist equally for all people in the creation that surrounds them. This may seem simple or it may actually be simply a human way to answer the uinanswerable but it works for me. I don't mind when people say I am going to hell if I believe this because if you think about it there is nothing but the words of man to support the theories of heaven and hell but there is infinite proof in nature (creation) to support that there is npo heaven or hell. Hell there may be no god and it could be thatthere is nothing for our inner energy when we die but for the sake of optimism I will atick to this one.

hugo Posted August 22, 2005 Posted August 22, 2005 But there is a god. The Great Goombah, creator of some things. I have seen him draw Shiner beer from my kitchen sink faucet. We celebrate GG by sacrificing the fermented crops of the field and the marinated fatted calf. Praise Goombah!
