Well, the life you speak of that is between birth and death is called PHYSICAL REALITY.
Life is NOT restricted to the physical.
Life is *eternal.
Existence in physical reality is BUT ONE expression of life/consciousness.
*Psssssssst, come a little closer and I'll give you hint:
there is no such thing as death.
well hank if you believe in jesus christ and become one of us and only then when you are born again into the world of truth and wisdom, giving you the knowledge to seperate the true world from the false world what a mighty day for you when your eye's are open to see not man but he who has created you.
How do you make sense of the different denominations with everybody saying their way is right?
HANK
If you mean which Christian denomination, then the act of choosing one over another becomes impossible. Life is too short and denominations are too many. Find one you like and enjoy it. With over three thousand different 'ways,' it would occupy more time than you have on the planet to properly scrutinise each one in order to make an informed judgement.
Yes, but Fred, this is the SPIRITUALITY category! That was actually my point.
I don't understand what you are saying. Are you saying that people with religion should not post answers in the spirituality category? For me my spirituality comes hand in hand with my religion. I think that for some reason you have this misconception of religious people. "A simple definition of spirituality is connecting with our higher selves and with God/the Universal Spirit." That is what I do everyday 24/7. It just so happens that going to church and listening to sermons has helped me to understand my spirit and its connection to my Father(as in God)!! I don't think that anything is wrong with giving advice based on what you're taught within your religion. We must all learn to accept others and their opinions. Why can't a Christian or a Buddhist come together and talk about what spirituality means to them? "Spirituality comes from a place of love and light. Thoughts, words and actions that come from a spiritual place are naturally loving and beneficial." You need to read more into spirituality; it is in some way connected to religion whether you want to believe it or not.

Religion without spirituality is dead.

No one is wrong, all are right - that is whatever they choose, if it fills their spiritual need, then who's to say they are wrong?
It is not always what we share in common that makes our lives richer, but our diversities, our differences. Discussing these differences and appropriately challenging or defending them should not be avoided because we fear to speak. The sign of maturity is when a person is able to reasonably consider the opinions of others without necessarily holding to them.
Quench not the spirit, despise not prophesyings, stifle not discussion.

Human nature
Unfortunately ...........
Human nature does not always encourage maturity, thus few humans are mature enough to wholly understand that our differences, specially in religion, is what makes us, each and every one, unique. It is that uniqueness in the human spirit that makes us who we are, a pity that not many will understand and accept this incontrovertible fact which engenders so many unjust actions and consequences.

logically: why would anyone ever argue for a way or thought or anything that they did not think was right?
everyone always thinks their way is right. why else would it continue to be 'their way', if they thought it was wrong? it would logically become someone else's way if they thought it was wrong, and therefore not 'their way' anymore but a wrong way, that they no longer agreed with.
whatever opinion people have at the moment is what they believe in or upon, they do not over time have to stay at that value, but hold fast momentarily.
religion is about people trying to make themselves acceptable to a being that they feel/believe has power over them. and is not about what they believe is real, that is called philosophy, but who they think is really powerful.
people argue all the time over nothing, so if they argue about things that are close to their pivotal value that only makes sense, and shows their great amount of time available to be spent not on survival, but on discussion.
