Wellwisher

And the widow said YES !!

Transquesta

Yes, Definitely.

amberleechoo

Yeah I do believe that we can live more than just once.

Freeranger

I do, based on the promise of God.

I also have secondary proof!  I worked overhauling nuclear submarines for many years.  At 4 p.m. when the whistle blew......talk about seeing the dead come back to life!  Wheeeee!

Wellwisher Freeranger
I see people dying n a newborn coming to life everyday!
Didge Freeranger
Sounds like the same crew I worked with in the public service. :)
Munky Chunk

No.

Ancient_Hippy

No, when you die, that's the end. To think otherwise is just silly.

Thank you Wellwisher, for the down vote. If you're not interested in others opinions, why the heck are you asking questions????
Didge Ancient_Hippy
I just learned something. If I give you an up vote it negates Well wisher's down vote. I think she doesn't wish well for you, Mr Hippy. We won't save her a slice of pizza at Satan's BBQ. >:-/
Ancient_Hippy Ancient_Hippy
Right Didge. No pizza for Wellwisher since she Downwished me.

@ Hippy:

O ye of little faith.   :-)

I have faith in you Tink. You always make me smile.
TheOtherTink Ancient_Hippy
When I'm not making you lose your lunch, that is.   :-)

I had a cat once that used to grin ear to ear right before he puked. The whole family used to run for cover for fear of getting hit with a freakin' hairball.
TheOtherTink Ancient_Hippy
Your cat must have believed in service with a smile.
Ancient_Hippy Ancient_Hippy
I think he did. He was a very strange cat. He used to jump in the bathtub with the kids. Loved getting wet.
MidnightCowboy

Yes.  I believe everyone goes to Heaven.

TheOtherTink MidnightCowboy
I tend to be a universalist myself.
HegeMarie

Yes, I do

Didge

Why not? I didn't believe in "life after Ask" yet here we all are.

TheOtherTink

                Afterlife - A Sonnet

O Lord, some say you don't exist at all,

That all things visible, and more besides,

Once sprang from nothing, with no word from you.

I don't believe that for an instant's time.

Nor do I think that you created us

To live for just a fleeting span of time

To witness just the middle of a yet

Unfinished drama, with uncertain knowledge

Of the past, and less of what's to come.

But no, this cannot be; you surely have

Much more in store for us than such a bleak

Existence, without purpose, point or meaning.

And — down deep, I also must confess

I'm curious — what's the ending of the tale?

Didge TheOtherTink
Interesting. Reminds me of the kind of poetry written by a WWI army chaplain named Studdert-Kennedy (aka Woodbine Willie). Do you know who wrote it?
TheOtherTink TheOtherTink
I'm not familiar with Studdert-Kennedy.

Yes, I wrote it, about three hours ago.
Didge TheOtherTink
Well done!  You might enjoy .

Hmm, I stuffed the HTML but the link works anyway.
TheOtherTink TheOtherTink
@ Didge:

Thank you!  I usually write limericks, because I'm generally not satisfied with my attempts at more serious verse.

And thank you for the link---I'll read Studdert-Kennedy's poems tonight.
Didge TheOtherTink
I started writing limericks about my teachers when I was at school. The kids liked them, I doubt if the teachers did. :(
Most of mine are pretty rude.
TheOtherTink TheOtherTink
Lol,  I'll bet your teachers didn't like them.

Most of my limericks are political satire. although I have written a few rude ones.
