"Getting to know you...

[rmcrae]

Thankfully no. As cliché as it sounds I'm just glad to be alive to see another birthday.

On a scale of 1 to 10, how easily angered are you?

 

[frankifab]

I guess 1 is the lowest and 10 the highest , so I choose 5 ... I may get angered but I analyse in my mind the pros and cons before reacting to somebody who is triggering me .
If the person has been provoking me previously and I let it go , well then ... I get fed up of tolerating and I explode right away

Have you been baptised at church ?

 

[rmcrae]

No, but I saw others being baptized.

Do you believe in the afterlife and why or why not?

 

[LoveMyPeppermill]

Depends on what one means by "the afterlife." I absolutely believe in reincarnation: whatever bit of "soul" or electrical energy that has me sitting here conscious as me in New York -- and not as you in Houston or a hippo in the Serengeti or a parrot in Peru or a beluga whale in Hudson's Bay -- goes somewhere when it leaves this particular carcass. And some bit of consciousness is going to turn up somewhere afterward as a hippo or a parrot or a beluga or a locust or a homosexual. Will that bit of consciousness be the same as the one in my brain and body now? There's no way to know. Will whichever place and condition that consciousness turns up in have anything to do with what I did or didn't do in this life? There's no way to know.

Do you believe an an afterlife? And why or why not?

 

[rmcrae]

^Interesting perspective.

As for me, yes, I do believe in the afterlife. Like you said, our bodies are simply shells that house something far more powerful: our souls. I also believe in Heaven although I obviously can't say for sure what it looks like, but I also believe in Hell. I don't subscribe to the belief that non-believers of God go there, but I hope and pray that those who caused unimaginable cruelty and suffering to the innocents of the world are destined to a place where what they doled out in life will be child's play compared to what awaits them for all eternity. I refuse to believe that evil people simply cease to exist like snuffing out a candle when their time is up.

Do you ever pray?

 

[frankifab]

I think similarly to @LoveMyPeppermill when it comes to the afterlife

Yes , I pray , not daily but I try to , I don't believe in religions though

Would you " convert " to a religion if your partner insisted on it ?

 

[rmcrae]

Not if he "insisted" on it, no. If he gave me the choice and I wanted to convert on my own accord then yes.

Have you ever experienced an existential crisis?
