Let's start with something we can all agree on, we're alive, we have a mind but we are also physical beings and one day the physical being will cease to exist. Now class, this is not a philosophical question it's a personal question.The question is what do you think will happen to you after you're physical body dies.

Now I will answer that my soul will go to Heaven and I will live in paradise for all eternity. Now I want your belief on what will happen to you. Not putting down someone else but what you believe.

  When I die I will be dead, end of story. I would say that I would go into the dirt but that's not the case. I have donated my remains to medical science and they will burn and dispose of what remains.
  
  As to the paradise so many look forward to, I am trying to enjoy mine while still alive. I understand the need some people have to believe that there is a better world waiting for them when they die. I don't understand why so many of them insist on being miserable and hateful during their time here on earth.
  
  Good question and no disrespect for your beliefs intended.

  I believe what gets referred to as the soul is really in the brain. Also our emotions. It has been shown that various drugs can alter brain activity, thinking, behaviour, personality etc. There is no physical evidence that a soul outside the body exists. The thoughts/feelings etc are a function of the neurotransmitters etc in the brain, not the heart.
  
  Our bodies are made up of biological chemicals that get broken down and reutlised in something else.

  It's clear your belief comforts you. That's fine.
  
  Do consider what happened to the perfect man-Job. No one has even come close since that time.
  
  By definition, *everything* 'God' does is good. Therefore, a person who does everything *right* can lovingly, justly, and righteously be consigned to an eternity in Hell where the 'worm dieth not and the flames will not be quenched.'
  
  Or, the Xian can be subject to the 'eternal dire consequences' promised by all sorts of other deity constructs. In which case the Xian becomes the pass around play toy of a bunch of celestial toddlers. Everyone knows what happens to the toys of toddlers.
  
  All are mere actors in a pointless play hitting their marks and spouting their lines as scripted eons ago when 'God' furiously ejaculated the universe into being.
  
  Yep, you can't do anything except what I, God, have scripted and everything is your fault for which you must be punished. 'Divine Plan' and omni characteristics.

  and your belief comforts you?
  perhaps you do not know what a belief is supposed to do for a person. We are supposed to pick one that works for us and makes us happier than we would normally be.
  I know all about job, even the hidden things. People have come close and committed suicide because they did not have God in their life. Stock market crash of 1987 for instance.
  The worm dieth not means the worm will complete its job of devouring until nothing is left. and the fire not be quenched means that it shall not be put out until it has done its job. These are not states of eternity. Only God knows what eternity is, only God can relate to eternity, our flesh likes eternity when it comes to punishing the wicked but God a loving spirit doesn't want the wicked first of all being immortal and second occupying space where God would have to ignore. We speak of what the lake of fire is for.
  When speaking of bible people often forget that of 3,000 prophecies fulfilled, there are only a few left, one is jesus return as king, this the jews understand more nowadays, they wanted him back then but he came as a servant to usher in a new way, also prophesied. No other book has prophecy or a man who worked miracles.
  The bible rules as the word of God.

  "and your belief comforts you?"
  
  Listen carefully, you lack belief in all other deities not yours. I lack belief in those deities, too. I also lack belief in yours.
  
  A lack of belief is not a belief. There's more than a binary situation-no matter how important you think it is. Christ, like Santa Claus, are merely things some people believe in while others do not.
  
  In other words, "bald is not a hair colour" and "not stamp collecting isn't stamp collecting."
  
  I no more 'draw comfort' from lacking belief in God than I do all the other fantasy figures I lack belief in. Quite simple.

  "perhaps you do not know what a belief is supposed to do for a person. We are supposed to pick one that works for us and makes us happier than we would normally be."
  
  What belief does for a person is dependent upon the person. Some Christians are giddily happy, others are miserable while still others are worried.

  "I know all about job,"
  
  You missed, or ignored the point. Job was a person who did *everything* right and God lovingly, justly, and righteously, screwed him over.
  
  No one else is going to come close to what Job was able to do. And they expect to be treated better?

  "even the hidden things. People have come close and committed suicide because they did not have God in their life. Stock market crash of 1987 for instance."
  
  Based on the Xian superstition people commit suicide because it was what God scripted. The Bible is clear on that and it follows from the stated omni characteristics of the God character.
  
  Indicating people killed themselves because they didn't have God in their life is an empty claim.
  
  Substitute the word God with anything else and it has the same validity as your statement. Some substitutions could be; Santa Claus, Tiamat the Dragon, Keebler Elves, Ra, Circe, Zeus, Apollo, Isis, asdofiawe, osdoaer, and Odin All Father among millions of other possibilities.

  That's not what the verse states. Words do have meaning. If you're going to question clear words then that also casts doubt about the 'promise of eternal life.' You can't have it both ways.

  You're not listening. According to Xianity; all are mere actors in a pointless play hitting their marks and spouting their lines as scripted when God furiously ejaculated the universe into existence.
  
  A person can do nothing other than the path God set. There is no 'Free Will.' No matter how much I yearn and believe there is no way I can flap my arms and physically fly cross-country. Based on the Xian superstition and the 'Free Will' dodge attempt; my 'Free Will' is that God will be wrong in what I have for dinner tomorrow night.
  
  If God's plan is for me to have steak and I'm determined to have fish; either way God loses. If I have steak tomorrow night my point about not being able to do other than what God planned is supported.
  
  If I have fish that indicates God's plan is horse apples and that he's even more a weakling than the Bible indicates.

  I'm ecstatic that I finished a very difficult painting last week after about 270 just painting hours. This doesn't consider; set up, clean up, mixing paint, or pondering. The painting is a full size 20 x 30 inches and is my version of an old and very famous master work. I now have to coat the painting with a protective coat of medium then leave it for a year to dry before I can varnish it. The work? The Mona Lisa.

I'll continue learning and preparing for further truths until I am properly prepared to be further judged according to my mortal deeds in conjunction to how I've received that further knowledge. If worthy I'll come forth in the forefront of the millenium to dwell upon the earth in it's more perfected state.

  There's no 'think' about it. The body dies and decomposes. There are no neural connection, sensors, or activity. In short, it's "Game Over."

  no offense to you but you are so wrong about the God of the bible. What makes you think God needs a person to kill another person?

There are many examples of God killing people after two or three witnesses say the man gathered wood on a sabbath for instance, but just to vision somebody and say go kill. Sorry that is not how God works.

  "why would God ever ask another person to break one of his ten commandments?"
  
  God orders that on a constant basis. Theft, rapine, genocide, killing parents, sons, and all females who weren't virgins and keeping those left as sex slaves. Raping them until they died-in most cases.

  That law remains in force. God didn't kill the person gathering wood. Christians did-according to the law. Every Christian alive today has broken that law.

  Mind is the sum total of all experience...for it can't be self existent. Soul if that which binds the dual with the creator..for some its heaven, for some soul enters the astral realm and is reborn if earthly karma is still intact.

  to those who believe in re-incarnation or the kharma trip:
  
  Matthew 24:35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
  
  2 Peter 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
  
  2 Peter 3:13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
  
  Revelation 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
  
  You will be coming back to nothing. Watch that last trip, its a doosey

  Don't forget:
  
  Ecclesiastes 9 (King James Version)
  5 For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.
  
  I had thought you were joking. I realize now you're dead serious.
  
  What your Holy Book says is immaterial and irrelevant to those outside it just as their Holy Book is to you.
  
  If you're going to insist the tenets of your 'babe at first suck' in comparison to its myriad elders apply then their tenets apply to you.
  
  I'm not trying to insult you, but things really are just that simple.

  Sure, I'll rewrite it. No problem.
  
  Creator deities are many. The Abrahamic version is a newborn in comparison to, for instance, Tiamat the Dragon who's 5,500 years old.
  
  The other aspect is if you are going to insist the tenets/aspects of your religion applies to those outside it, then you are subject to the tenets/aspects of all the other ones.
  
  You can't have it both ways.
  
  Better?

  This is why we don't want non christians in our discussions. WE believe in every word of the bible and will always quote from it, for it is a wonderful book.
  And we don't care that you don't like our book, but if you are gonna debate with christians you should be on the same page with us.

  "This is why we don't want non christians in our discussions."
  
  Then have the whole area listed "Christians Only."
  
  Yes, I understand pointing usavoury things out and the ramifications/reprecussions of aspects/attributes is disquieting to Xians.
  
  The other factor you conveniently ignore is; 1 Thess5:18
  
  1 Thessalonians 5:18 (King James Version)
  
  18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
  
  This instruction is crystal clear. Your words indicate you're not complying with the directive {That's between you and Jesus}.
  
  But then that brings this verse into play:
  
  Luke 6:46 {KJV}
  And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?
  
  Luke 6:45-47 (King James Version)
  
  45A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.
  
  46And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?
  
  47Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like:
  
  As for verses you don't seem to like or appreciate:
  
  2 Timothy 3:16 (KJV)
  All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
  
  2 Timothy 3:15-17 (King James Version)
  
  15And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
  
  16All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
  
  17That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

  No, you don't so believe. You've had great difficulty with many of the passages I've quoted directly. You've added to the text when it suited your purpose. You've striven to shift things via red herrings and 'hand waving' to try to change the subject instead of accepting and believing in the quoted word. Once again, that's between you and Jesus.

  "And we don't care that you don't like our book, but if you are gonna debate with christians you should be on the same page with us."
  
  I didn't say I like or dislike your book (don't think I've specifically stated). Its *your* book I've been quoting from. It's the tenets of Christianity I've been bringing up. Its the ramifications and repercussions of said claims and tenets I've been addressing.
  
  I'm not interested in debate. I've no intention in changing anyones mind about things. What I'm interested in is discussion and exploration. I'm interested in how individuals see things in different ways based on your Holy Writ. I'm interested in how a person reacts to, views concerning actions flat stated in the Bible. There are many things I'm curious about. It isn't about your Holy Book. It's all about people. I explore. Things are, in the main, a response to what individuals post.
  
  Do keep in mind I've never suggested anyone lose belief. In fact, I've spoken in support of individual beliefs and of people's yearnings. I've also thanked people for replying to curiosity questions I've had. I wanted to see how they saw/felt about a few things.

be in a mausoleum...
be cremated and then have my ashes scattered throughout nature...
be added to this list of people... (leaning toward this one.)

  the judgment seat of christ (for Christians) and the great white throne judment (for non-Christians)
  concerning the body of the resurrected
  " 1 Corinthians 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
  1 Corinthians 15:53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
  1 Corinthians 15:54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory."
