Which would you choose?
-
Peace,
Respectfully.I chose to have a life.
Humans are creatures that have soemthing that many other species don't - free will.
We see the world and we wonder, we ask questions and we research.
We touch, smell, feel and laugh. We often cry.sun
Peace.We also make mistakes that (hopefully) we learn from. Life is amazing, wonderful and God given

To not exist.
why? )

Which is better, to go to Heaven or to not go through anything good or bad at all? If I won't know anything, since I am not even created, how would it matter whether I go to Heaven or not?
Peace,
Respectfully.I care about my fellow humans and that means that i would like to see you in Heaven.
I would like to see bunch of people in Heaven.
Some of them won't make it .... & & & &Peace.

I've thought about not existing/not having existed and I think that is awful. Why not take your chance and live, rather than not even knowing what it is like to live and having a 0%-chance of going to paradise?
I agree with Rev John and RHLife of course, I'll take my chances

Oh, thank you group
Peace,
Respectfully.Somehow this reminds me that i somehow find it in my heart to forgive all my enemies and i don't even consider them my enemies and i'd like to see more love in this world and 0 hate. Of course, this is just my wish.
Glory be to our God.
Peace. -

I chose undecided.
From my reading of the quran we all MUST have been given this choice by The God before our earthly life. Everyone reading this chose yes obviously and entered the earth as humans welcome lol. But what's intriguing is we don't have a recollection of this decision making.
I dont agree with the interpretation that we are here because 'adam' whomever that maybe sinned and we ended up here as a result of it. We reap what we sow and going solely by deductive reasoning our earthy conditions i.e which family we're born into must have been conditional on our past life as souls. It doesn't make sense to me why some people are given a head start(wealthy family) in life while others live till 2 years or 3 years and come into a poor family and die.

You can still choose you can live with some prehistoric/primitive tribe, but don't forget to leave all your belongings behind ;D

Does anyone know Pascal's Wager? If you do then the true question is how sure are you your choice (for guarantee into heaven) is the right one. Because every religous follower seems pretty convinced in their own insurance policy. As well as being convinced everyone else is wrong.

But if you don't exist how would you know it? It's just nothing. The only ones who mourn the dead are the living.

Exactly.. and that sucks.

Let's say God exists, and what The Quran says is true, that basically you get (in the next life) what you give (in this life).
Knowing this to be true, and you had the option to choose, which would you opt for?
-
to not exist (i.e. to have no existence whatsoever, no life, no thought, thus no memory of anything, no feelings etc. and therefore do not have to take the test of life, thus no reward/punishment, nothing)
-
To have a life, e.g. the one you have, and take the test of this life, which you might pass (reward), or you might fail (punishment).
-
Undecided
I can appreciate I have simplified slightly, but it is for the purpose of the poll. If you wish to discuss, feel free.
Were I to know what I would experience (up to now or even 9 years ago) #1 by a long shot, but that's all I'm going to say.

I dont understand people who chose 'no life'. If you get no life in the first place, then there is a 0%-chance of getting into paradise already. Why not take your chances with a life, where the chances to go to paradise are above 0%?

It's not 0% - isnt that good enough?

The question could be Would you choose to exist in an after-life or would you prefer no after-life.
In both cases you get to live, but in one instance your life is a test, and in the other it just ends. You stop existing.Is one life better than the other?

I know that it can be interpreted differently, but think of 'the shore' as the reward of paradise.
If there was no afterlife, then wouldnt you feel awful, as you would know that it's this life and nothing else - in fact, it's only nothingness/emptiness.
