Dear Freeper, if you believe in God, then put your hope in Him.
Death is much more than a 'shutting out the lights'...
..death is eternity...either with God or separated from Him.
Thank you for your response.
I do believe in God. I pray often. I have just spent too much time thinking about what comes next. I could write a long essay explaining how I came to my doubts, but honestly, I wouldn't want anyone else to follow that logical stream. I hope those that believe in an afterlife are correct.
