What do you think about the paranormal? Do you believe any of it? Which parts? Do you believe we continue in existence after we die? Are our minds intact or are we self aware? Include why you do or don't believe. Please don't be insulting or vitriolic.

Yea, absolutely. Where else do you think the souls go, when they die? In the Muslim theology, it's called the Barzakh world. I read a book about it, and it was quite enlightenin.

Oh and the souls that are dead try to contact you through dreams sometimes. It's a very interesting read.

@nobodyishome Well interesting that you say that. When my brother died he wouldn't leave me alone. Constant- every night, assailed by him, long tiring dreams.. they overwhelmed me. All night every night for 2 weeks, I dreamt Of nothing else and when I'd wake, it felt like we'd been together for six or 7 hours..I don't think my dear brother knew he was dead..
I ended up telling him and the dreams stopped immediately.

Him and I were very very close.. Twenty years now, I still miss him. Perhaps I shouldn't have told him.

@Omdt102 I'm sorry.

@nobodyishome why sorry? Oh duh. Thank you fraulein. He was a lot of trouble actually. He would have brought me to prison with him. lol, i'm not kidding either. My mom loved the old west era. she used to say that if we had lived in the old west my brother would've went outlaw, robbin trains and such.. she said I wouldn't have joined him at first. But then by the time I was twenty or twenty one I'd been doing it with him. I suppose a mama knows her boys.
I am Rimbaud reincarnate..😂

@Omdt102 because your brother doesn't talk to you anymore. Perhaps, you don't feel his presence anymore. Because he probably went to purgatory, and was made to get rid of his attachments, and is now in the Gardens of Eden. He is happy there 'ol bud :) :)

@nobodyishome well if there's a hell he's there. I'm going to but I hope for the best LOL I just can't see a loving God sending people to hell for eternity for what the amount of evil one man can do here in 80 to 100 years. Eternity is a very long time. In fact it's no set amount of time at all, it's all of time without end! LOL Only a tyrant would send even the most evil man to hell for that. Hitler wouldn't, Stalin wouldn't even get that.

So I must rebel against this tyrant god. I have no choice, it's a moral imperative. To not rebel against him should be the reason for being sent to hell!

@Omdt102 absolutely. I really don't want to say this publicly, but some Muslim kids are taught these things. At least, my parents taught me these things.

I know Allah. Personally, professionally, everyly. He is not like that. Parents who think that they know a lot, unfortunately, don't.

It sure would be nice if people knew their hells.

Based on your comments you are talking about the Islamic hell and not the biblical hell.

In the biblical version people go to one of three places when they die: hell; death; or the sea. All three places are temporary and everyone makes bail on Judgment Day. At that time you are judged by your works. If you did what you were supposed to have done your name is written in the Book of Life and you will get eternal life, even if you were evil. You just won't get into the golden cube.

At that time death and hell will be tossed into the lake of fire, along with all people whose names are not written in the Book of Life. That is the second death. The good new is that they won't spend eternity in hell.

Read Revelation chapter 20:1-15 https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=revelation%2020&version=CEV

BTW, when Adam & Eve ate from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, people then knew as much about those issues as God did himself. So, you don't need God to tell you what is right and what is wrong because you know those things yourself.
