Nice thread. I hope theres a God, I'm a little older than you and I think by this stage in life things have happened that make that question important. I've experienced a lot of odd moments in my life that make me think there's more to it than I can comprehend, not knowing can be the most depressing and overwhelming feeling imaginable. I've found that reading books written by people that have died and been revived (NDE) is very encouraging, most of them have very good experiences and are about the best source you will find concerning the answer to your question. One thing for sure, we all are going to know one day. Good luck, I'll keep you in my prayer's.
One last thing, seeing all the members of this site being here for each other, really makes my day, you folks are awesome.
