IAMMERCY: Soooooooo many people want to go to heaven, which is up. So...why do we get buried in the ground?...Seems to me like your closer to hell. Why should it matter?? Youll leave that body wen you make it to heaven or hell. In Heaven your body will be transformed. You wont fell tiredness,sickness, or any of that stuff. You wont go to the bathroom. So my point is why does it matter where your buried if your not going to use that body in heaven or hell. Of course youll look the same just not the same body.
I follow the belief of heaven like the native americans. A happy hunting ground lies in wait because we have been good in life and our soul will be rewarded. But heaven and hell?
i believe in something different. I believe that heaven is another dimension only 3 feet above the ground. Besides like pedspog said we can't be buried in the air, and we can't be shot off into space.
I'm a Christian, I believe that none of use are perfect. We are all great sinners, so it is not possible to be "good" while we are bad. Heaven didn't appear from think air. So way back in the B.C. (Before Christ) times. Jesus came down and died for our sins. You must accept him as God and take him as your Savior. You can't be forced to believe it though. You must with your own heart except it. That doesn't mean he won't judge us for our sins. We will all be judged whether you like it or not. So we all no no one is perfect, so how could you be "good" when you're bad. It doesn't make any sense. In the afterlife, no one knows if we'll look the same. If we get new bodies. We won't have any handicapped people, blind people. Who knows? Maybe we'll all be young again.
He created heaven, so the person who creates heaven is going to show himself just so we can believe it. Maybe you don't know him. Do you know what's strange, when I go somewhere, if I see someone and they're a Christian, they act different, we Christians have moral values, control are tounges. But beware of the fakers! But whether you're a Christian or not, everybody should have moral values, and have a sense of honesty and respect.
I hate it when people speak of religion like it is a fact. It is not.
Anyway, I believe the tradition of burying the dead was originally practiced by the Neanderthals, and while we don't know much about their religions, they lived a very long time ago and it seems very unlikely they believed in a God like the one Christians today believe in.
