There may be some sort of spirit within humans, or could just be our minds, our thoughts, what-have-you... But as there for being devil that takes away your spirit if you 'sin', nu-uhh, no, not gonna happen. But for spirits coming back from the dead, I believe it to be possible, but only at an existential viewpoint, no sort of religious tradition involved. I still don't think that there is a 'God' that rules over humanity, that'll strike us with lightning every time we whack-off. I've been scared into believing that as a child, but I rose above it, because I know better.
Beware child, as punishment for touching those parts, you will be covered in goo. You will be punished less each time you play with those parts in rapid succession, until it isn't very fun any more and there isn't much punishment happening. The punishment fits the crime- more goo for greater crime. Beware of God.
My condolences on the loss of your beloved pet... Ya see, this is where ppl get totally crazy when it comes to religion. They have a completely LOGICAL experience as you did, and attribute all sorts of supernatural shit to it. (no offense intended). I'm assuming your dog would sometimes or frequently be in your bedroom, if not in your bed itself. So of course it smells like dog. You noticed it more than before because the dog itself isn't there now, so the smell is lessened, but still there where the dog spent most of its time. What happened to you is that the smell triggered strong memories, made even stronger by the recent death and unexpressed/repressed emotions. Smells can trigger all sorts of memories, not just images but emotions and physical feelings as well. Do this simple test. Picture in your mind your favorite food or beverage. Imagine yourself eating/drinking it for a few moments. You will experience real physical responses (like salivation, licking your lips, even the taste of the food). So feeling the dog resting on the thigh is the same kind of response to the smell. Of course none of this lessens the emotional impact it would have, and indeed you seem to have needed this kind of experience to release the feelings you have about the event. That you felt peace, comfort and happiness indicates you've accept the death and integrated the event into your psyches. It's the best you could hope for. I'm sure you'll still miss your pet, but at least you have pleasant memories to comfort you. BTW, this should be a separate thread....
What about the people in China who get thrown in jail for their belifes? Then come back out with the same belifes?
LOL! That's great! Christian salivation! hahaha~! Jesus salivates! Salivate me, please! Hooray! I've been salivated! Now, where can I get some holy saliva? Drools for Jesus! Do not begrudge me this bit of spit! Praise the saliva, and pass the kleenex! No salivation? Try turning the other cheek! Let he who is without saliva, cast the first spit! Drool unto others as you would have them drool onto you! LMAO! Yea, tho I walk thru the valley of mucous, I will fear no saliva! Sorry, but my cup runneth over with saliva!
Like Jethro Tulls "Hymn 43"... "Jesus Salivates, but he better salivate himself..." "Oh Jesus, Salivate Me..."
I guess we pretty much killed this thread with saliva! And I was drooling over the idea it could be salivated!

Dont be afraid to say these things - what they gonna do come back and get us ???

My suggestion to those who LOVE Christ. Love him, his words, his deeds. Dump all the rest. Reject all the dogma, the judgements, the lies that others have added to the life of Christ. Reject the churches, the ceremonies, the confessions, the priesthood, the pope, the long history of atrocities commited in the name of lay christians. Reject the intolerance, the self-righteousness, the US and THEM mentality. Reject the notion that only Xtians are "saved". Reject HELL! Reject SIN! Reject SATAN (the whole concept). Let your own conscience, not the one they programmed into you, be your guide. Free yourself from all the BULLSHIT you've been taught. BE FREE as Jesus was FREE. Lastly, call yourself something OTHER than Xtian. Find a term that frees you from 2000 years of self-righteous garbage and atrocities. You can LOVE CHRIST and NOT BE A CHRISTIAN. Yes it's possible. You and he can have a "relationship" without a church, without dogma, without a bible even. Of course the church would never let you think such heresy since then they would be obsolete, which indeed THEY ARE! Anyway that's my suggestion. I like Christ. He was cool. Just like any guru who knows the truth. He was one out of many. And like Mohammed he had a good marketing team who worked their asses off for him. He's been bought and sold so many times, I would've expected him to come back and do something about all the shit that went down in his name. But you see... HE AIN'T comin' back. It's a lie. Just like all the rest you've swallowed. It's time now to barf them up, and get healthy again. Peace to all you former Xtians!
