If there's an "afterlife" shouldn't there also be a "prelife?"
if there's an afterlife, then that implies that we will always be and so it kinda makes sense that we always were.

Well, lets think logically about this. Before we are born, and when we die, we don't have a brain. Increasingly, medical science is showing us how every function of the mind is a function of the brain. To think without a brain, is like moving without using your body...it can't be done. If we did exist in some form, before or after life, then what would we be? We wouldn't have eyes, so we couldn't see. We wouldn't have ears, so we couldn't hear. We wouldn't have nerves so we couldn't feel. And, as I just previously stated, we wouldn't be able to think because...no brain. Now, obviously this thought scared the crap out of our ancestors, so, as is the case with any fear of the unknown, people created stories to fill in the gap. Just like people created myths about how the sun rises everyday, what the stars and planets are, and how life was created, so too did they come up with stories about what happens after death. Some thought of reincarnation...others thought of a paradise. These myths, though reassuring, are not based on reality. Reality is, when you die that's it...so enjoy your life. 276 days ago | Tagged As: Makes sense to me
Well, if you can socially invent an afterlife through a tradition of storytelling, moral fables, and religious rites, you could also come up with a prelife. Most religions tend to focus on creation stories than the origin of each person; how mankind came to be tends to be a hot question. On a side note, I think it's fascinating how each person arrives on this earth as one cell, multiples incredibly yet within a succinct pattern, and emerges with a rapidly developing consciousness. I'm more blown away by this than any fictional pre-life narrative anyone could come up with. 277 days ago | Tagged As: Makes sense to me
Although it kinda makes, sense after a few beers, it doesn't necessarily have to be that way because, for example, there's an afterbirth but there's no prebirth. Well, maybe the baby is the prebirth. OK, look, I'm just no good with these deep philosophical equestions ;) 279 days ago | Tagged As: Makes sense to me
