I "died" about four years ago now(doa), and lost a good few days of my life afterwards. Is there a god, i don't know, all I can say is that it was the most peaceful time of my life.
I was brought up with religion (both jewish and spiritualist), yet I have remained for the best part a born again atheist/borderline agnostic.
My grandmother (who died last year) was a well known spiritualist medium, who had people from all over the world to see her. She never charged (unlike some charlatans), but if people wished, they could donate to one of the many charities that she supported. In my book, religion is up to the individual and is about personal choice. Another way to look at it, if there is a god, then on judgement day we will have some explaining to do! |

i think there is.i do belive that god gave us the earth and left to the humans to work it out.there is a cure for every illness and diesese somewhere on this earth.
i do belive in life after death and the fact that at some point we have all walked the earth before. |

I would like to but I think when all is said and done there is not even a shred of evidence to support such a notion. Religion is a remnant of stone age man's attempt at trying to give purpose to the world around him.
That said, if someone wants to believe in such a thing then fine - it's a free country. _________________

| I think whether you believe in God is immaterial what is important is that you live life because it is not a rehersal and treat others as you would like to be treated |

Well said Bear I am a spiritualist and have nearly died, I saw the other side and it was beautiful, unless you have proof it is difficult for some to comprehend it all, I do believe that what you do to others will return to you, but everyone is free to make their own choice and as you said treat others how you would like to be treated and in my opinion you cant go wrong  |

Well as you asked so nicely I will answer since I was a child I have been infatuated with Angels and in churches I was drawn to the statues of them, I never knew why they held such amazement for me until I grew, it was then I took a great interest in why I was here etc past lives and life after death. I visited spiritual churches to be told by a very good medium (not a charlaton) that I had had at least 500 years in past lives within the church, I was a nun, a priest, a monk, a minister during these lives and I was persecuted for my beliefs.
I have taught spiritual classes last year in a group and write spiritual verse and poetry, many I have had published, I dont shout my faith from the rooftops I just enjoy life and quietly move with it all, an Earth Angel is someone who returns to this place in order to help and assist anyone that comes into their path, I concider myself an Earth Angel so yes thats why I call myself Angel, and no I havent lost the plot hehe  |

| On Friday I watched a film starring Meg Ryan and Nicholas Cage called "City of Angels" and would love to think it's premise was true. If you havent watched it give it a go, it's a love story and would be probably classed as a "chick flick" but I enjoyed it immensely |
