Had a dream a couple of nights ago where I was in hell. I find a red spray paint can and spray paint a stone wall with the words.... "Jennifer was here." So after this I get lifted to heaven. The dream itself explains that because God has died. God's rules said good people got to be in heaven and bad people got to be in hell. So the universe takes over from God and takes me to hevean because I am a good person.
P.s. looking for dream reactions here.
Sounds like a good dream. :) How did you feel during the experience?
lIKE i HAVE BEEN THROUGH HELL FOR so many years. I am not sure of the complete meaning but ow. that part really is true.
Maybe it is a good sign that things will be getting better for you. :) I hope so.

It's an interesting dream. Can't say I've ever had any dream involving hell in any serious form, not that I can remember. Maybe by some people's definitions I might have had dreams in places resembling limbo and hell in some ways but nothing that was a personal hell to me, at any rate. I've had at least one dream with angels, which was an interesting one, but unfortunately I don't know where that dream went, think I wrote it down on paper so might just be lost amongst other papers.
Also, in your dream, was it mentioned or explained in some way how God "died"?
It didn't say anything about how god died. jus that he did. then lifted e up in a beam of light to a flat plan of clouds with nothing else. I dream about hell or hevean at least once or twice a year.
And because of his own rules that the universe took over and sent me to hevean. Sadly this means God was going against his own rules. Shocker.... Dun duh dunnnnn!!!!!!!!Quote:

i DO NOT BELIEVE INB GOD,,, not as a certainty though. I am an agnostic/athiest.. kind of at the same time. I just haven't been given a god reason for believing in said being. religion was a absolute good force in the world. it still can be though, sadly I find that words like christian and muslim usually are nearly meaningless. people usaly use religious teaching as a wrapper for what they already believe. i.e six different Christians in the room that probably have 6 different beliefes systems ut of that. I used to be christian but I started listening to athiest and realized that a lot of there arguments are being misrepresented. plus\ despite being athiest or secular.. I love angels. i feel they have been pigeon holed to long. this love persist and as instilled into me by my grandma,
p.s. sorry or the late reply.
So you used to be a Christian .... but then started listening to atheists?
Did you ever attend a catholic church, or any other church?
church was non denominational. i did attend church thoough.
ok.Quote:

Hey, no judgement from me.
Was it something you had been planning for awhile, or was it a sudden decision, to be an atheist?
I do think it is a bit strange, that a Christian would turn atheist.
I think it's a positive dream. I wonder if the idea that you still went to heaven even though "god was dead" shows that you personally don't need a religious external god to experience your own spirituality or self-love. God can be many things to many people, after all, and for example, for some, the universe is god. The idea of good and bad people going to heaven or hell may even be more of a reference to karma than actual heaven or hell. For example, self-love is easier to achieve when you're a good person; you feel good about yourself in general. Whereas someone who does evil things may live in a kind of torment of self-hate. *shrug* Just thoughts. :)
It was nether. this was about the time i realized I personally was in two different incelor groups. I swear thug hearing things fr0m the other side was eye opening. most the things I heard about the left or athiest were straw men.I grew intrigued. I really wasn't angry at the church or it's members. learinng about everything that is just wrong with te story of noahs ark was the death nail.. not that it was a sudden pop. I just realized one day that some day n the past i had just stopped believing. christian are pretty chill in general.. I fell that most religion use books as more a wrapper for their own beliefes and not the other way around. I have christian friends. there are ter christians or religious people that give yu guys a bad name though. I just felt like the things i believe didn't make as much since in the light f he mounting evidence to the contrary.
releasing atheist don't realy have any real set of beliefes was kind of interesting to as well. a lot of christians like to think if you are an athiest you have to have certan beliefes. you can be unde4r any real beliefes you see fit.you can even be Buddhist if yo feel like as long as the amount of gods you believe in is zero. also ty hillary you gave ,e lot to think about;. not sure what t9 add. that is dead on.
Although it might be a bit off topic, I want to add that I think there's a difference between people who are raised in a certain religion (who often do leave), and people who choose that religion for their own later in their lives. I think many people don't discover their true spiritual identity (or lack thereof) until some point later in life - even if that's just to affirm what they were raised believing. It's a very subjective and personal thing based on unique life experiences.Quote:

that's okay.
Kuni:
What was it, about Noah's Ark, that was the death nail for you?
and then you just "stopped" believing?
So, the story of creation, is that something that you agree with or disagree with?
Hilary:
Yes, i know people leave "church", be it because of the church denomination itself, be it because of other believers or because of their own choosing to leave.
Perhaps such people don't have a firm foundation in their life.
Just a reminder that the topic of this thread is Kuni's dream. Kuni is welcome to reply to your questions about her views on religion, but she does not have to explain her religious beliefs if she does not wish to. That would be more of a topic for Extended Discussion, and only if the original poster wanted to discuss such a topic.Quote:

Aussie musician: Please get to the point that you are trying to make. Also, please refrain from asking about personal beliefs. It kind of come across as a bit obtrusive that the OP is not obligated to answer.
fine ...
whatever ..
