I Am a Christian and I Love Jesus

Something worth to think about, especially those ardent believers called "Atheists"

Two twins were talking in the womb:
Tell me, do you believe in life after birth?
Of course. After birth comes life. Perhaps we are here to prepare for what comes after birth.
Forget it! After birth there is nothing! From there, no one has returned! And besides, what would it look like?
I do not know exactly, but I feel that there are lights everywhere … Perhaps we walk on our own feet, and eat with our mouth.
This is utterly stupid! Walking isn’t possible! And how can we eat with that ridiculous mouth? Can’t you see the umbilical cord? And for that matter, think about it for a second: postnatal life isn’t possible because the cord is too short.
Yes, but I think there is definitely something, just in a different way than what we call life.
You’re stupid. Birth is the end of life and that’s it.
Look, I do not know exactly what will happen, but Mother will help us…
The Mother? Do you believe in the Mother? !
Yes.
Do not be ridiculous! Have you seen the Mother anywhere? Has anyone seen her at all?
No, but she is all around us. We live within her. And certainly, it is thanks to her that we exist.
Well, now leave me alone with this stupidity, right? I’ll believe in Mother when I see her.
You can not see her, but if you’re quiet, you can hear her song, you can feel her love. If you’re quiet, you can feel her caress and you will feel her protective hands.

I believe in the idea of life after death, but the details Christians (and other religious organisations) try to claim as facts make it hard for me to want to take part in such organisations. The overall belief that we are ignorant to what happens after death is a good one to have, but trying to fill in that ignorance with words written in books- and trying to turn those words into facts- kind of contradicts being open to the possibilities beyond our ignorance...

Then what is the basis for your belief? What makes you sure?
There is no such overall belief that people are ignorant to what happens after death. I dont know where you get that from. Christians believe that God has revealed Himself and truth about life after death, that is fundamental to Christians. For example, the resurection from the dead is central for Christian life and faith. I think it matters a lot if your belief is wishful thinking or if it is trust in the authority of God speaking in and through His word. I see no contradiction.
