There is life after death. There is a God. He’s not your enemy.

"There is life after death. There is a God. He’s not your enemy."

May be, but I just don't believe the religious faiths have any clue what that after-life is. My intellect tells me that it so beyond yours and my understanding as to be incomprehensible. I hope there is life after death to join the great white light and love and acceptance, even for the Dahmers and Mansons.

My thinking is that we are not aware once we cease to exist (dead) - think deep REM sleep without dreams. You don't know you are in bed asleep. Or...think prior to your birth when you were just cells dividing. You knew nothing. That was also like being non-existent.

I'm okay with the above and can still have morals, as in, "Do Unto Others". Humans have compassion and empathy and intelligence that guide us, at least us conservatives..haha.

Yes, maybe it's part of the plan. I don't know any more than you. What I do know is what works for humankind. Ask me about that...

I can't entirely rule out the possibility that there is a God who loves some of us, yet is indifferent to others.

It's certainly a hypothesis that fits the observations made over my six decades of life.
