stairs to heaven

Yes :-)

Yes

Me too.

True because what are we hear for

I believe this life is just a way to prepare for the next depending on how we live.

True

Yes I do. It's much more difficult to imagine we're here all by accident. I believe in a divine creator. There is absolutely no way everything we see and know was done by some cosmic explosion.

Even if it was an explosion it would have had to be guided by an intelligent being. No way anything happens by accident. I think it takes more faith to be an Athiest and try to explain it all without God.

Absolutely!

It makes sense that this is not our true home since things of the world don't really satisfy us, we're always looking for more. God's love is the only thing that can fill us.

No.

Do we just cease to exist?

You just die. Nothing special, I'm not getting into physics and all that.

Personally, I believe in reincarnation. I have my reasons for that, but my friend explained it like this:

"We are consisted of atoms. Everything in the universe is consisted of atoms. When I die, I dissolve into atoms. When a baby is born, it is consisted of atoms. Isn't it just common sense to believe in reincarnation while knowing that?"
