Have you read Watchmen?

Not yet. Is it good? I have my doubts about the graphic novel being made into a movie as I am very picky about movies created entirely on an indoor set, like "300". If they are too stylized it turns me off.

Ah, I just didn't know if you got the Watchmen reference or not in my first post here.

It's very good. Greatest graphic novel ever... could be my favourite book but I'm not sure.
Well 300 wasn't that great, but for what it's worth, the movie is apparently going to stay pretty close to the source material (but then again, didn't 300?), including keeping the graphic novel ending, and the trailer was fantastic and everything looks to be okay so I have very high hopes for it.

I saw a trailer for it when we saw The Dark Knight. It's looks intriguing.

BTW, in the poll, the Atheists are ahead, kind of shocking... but followed closely by the Agnostics.

Nobody can be certain of anything until they actually die. I notice that for the most part Atheists on here have skated around their beliefs as to not start a major conflict. I'm not a fan of religion but I just hope for something more and you want to believe there is more out there. And there is nothing wrong with that.

I was curious about people who don't know the novel seeing that trailer. It doesn't really tell you much. To people who are familiar with the character it's like YES THAT'S HIM, YEAH, THAT SCENE! But this trailer is just like "here's a few things happening and it doesn't say much." But I'm glad you found it intriguing anyways.

I tell you what, if one of y'all actually get a report back from a dead loved one about the conditions, then we'll talk.

Beyond that this thread is NOTHING but wishful thinking and/or fantasy....Here's what I do know from what I have seen of others deaths:

Lots of folks show up to pay tribute, some out of guilt because they should have been seeing you all along during your life, the others, they're just hoping for a slice of the estate.

There is a service that seems to last an eternity, many people speak about the dead, but say nothing if you catch my drift.

Then we haul the individual to the gravesite, bury the casket....SAY MORE SHIT.....then go to somebodys home and eat until you can no longer walk.

Now show me that in the Bible (sense sarcasm???)


If the "afterlife" has anything to do with that kind stuff...leave me out...I ned the sleep anyways and from what I hear eternity is a pretty long time....No snooze button I guess

I say this in all sincerity, funeral services are for the living, not the dead.

Any sensible person with common sense and the ability to think on his/her own knows the Bible is a bunch of bullshit. The bible has nothing to do with an after life and or the belief in Gods or a higher power.
