I can't believe it's all just chance...someone/something created us...or created whatever we evolved from...some unknown power
And I'd also like to know why everything that has shaped most religions happened so long ago that nobody really knows if it actually happened, or if it was just a well thought-out story to satisfy one's emptiness.
I believe there will be SOMETHING after death...why waste a human soul (something truly magnificent) on a body that will only live 70, 80, 100 years max? I notice that most people who think that death is THE END seem unfulfilled with their life. You would think that if you were to believe that this is it, you would think of life as something more fragile, and would do anything and everything within your power to live the best life one could possibly live. But that's hardly the case.

Well, I think it is just a chance, basically... and somewhere out in the uber huuuuge Universe, there's gotta be some other planet that just happened to land the right distance away from it's sun-type thing and also has life of some form... Of course I can't prove that there is, but you can't prove that there's not
And I don't see it as wasting a 'soul'... Because I don't think there's such thing as a 'soul'... at least if you're saying it's some kind of seperate entity
"I notice that most people who think that death is THE END seem unfulfilled with their life"
Maybe it's cuz they're not looking forward to something else... they don't see life as a key to this amazingly uber after-life... Or they're just afraid because they know the end is the end and they don't want it to be that way, whereas religious people have all these other theories that make it more... y'know... nice...
And just cuz they're unfulfilled with their life, it doesn't mean they didn't at least tried to be the best they could
Beat yeah, it's kinda hard to debate these things since the different beliefs change the way people think so yeah and stuff...
