God says He hopes people continue existing in some form after their deaths, but worries they might just be gone completely.
THE HEAVENSCalling it one of the greatest mysteries in life, the Lord God Almighty, Our Heavenly Father, admitted Wednesday that He often wonders what happens to human beings after they die.
The Creator of Heaven and Earth, who said He has often grappled over the millennia with the uncomfortable reality that humans never come back after they die, told reporters He had absolutely no idea what, if anything, people experience once their vital organs permanently cease to function.
Some say that when people die, thats the end, but who knows? said the Supreme Being, adding that no one in the world could say with any degree of certainty whether ones existence completely ceases with death. Others say that at the moment they die, people walk toward a bright light and into another world, but the thing is, only the people who die are the ones who know. I just know that it would be awfully sad to think that when they pass on theyre gone forever.
I want to believe that human beings continue on in some form after their deaths, He continued, but who am I to say, really?

(40,416 posts)I am well except for some hopefully small kidney stones. I have had multiple experiences with them for decades and am not in too much discomfort. Ibuprofen is my friend these days. (Plus a beer or two to help wash them out.
No worries.

Hope the beer and ibuprofen give you some relief. Have you ever had the sonogram treatment to break them up?

(40,416 posts)That was before I learned how to control them a bit with diet, not a big deal. Small ones pass fairly easily, but not very comfortable, and yes, they can hurt like crazy. Large ones are very expensive to treat. Lithotripsy is easiest, but apparently only really works when stones are in the kidney.
One learns to avoid things that generate them, like spinach and Vitamin C (really!) and to keep well hydrated.
