This is going to be a rather complexed and long post .
You've been warned !
I've been on Blogger for a long time , longer than 3 years now. In that period of time , I've posted tons of Blog posts about how existential I am as a human being. I'm not the typical human being that lives life according to the flow of how everything goes day-by-day , as I mostly just stare into the emptiness of space and question myself about the things that humans might not have the answers to.
When you question something as big as the existence of everything that is existing in this world - and the Universe in all , you have to start from the very beginning. Now , being an extremely existential person doesn't mean that I'm always trying to figure out if the chicken or the egg came first. That's just a science question that each person has different answers and theories to.
In the beginning , there was one man . He is named by everyone as "God" . But what if things weren't that simple. What if "God" was a man-made thing so that us humans would believe in an Almighty and everlasting being ? Perhaps someone came up with a conspiracy of our Maker a very long time ago . This all leads to the " B.C " and " A.D. " If you're unsure of what those two mean , they are " before Christ " and " after death " - which is after the death of Jesus Christ.
Disclaimer : I am not doing a Bible study session , or a Sunday School lesson , so don't get things mixed up.
There are many different entities called " Almighty " . It ranges from Jesus , to Allah , to Buddha , and so on . But then again , could they be man-made ? I'm not stating that I don't believe in an Almighty , because I do go to church - occasionally . However , if you put things into an existential perspective , perhaps an Almighty might not even exist , and the terms of " Heaven " and " Hell " wouldn't exist too.
( And at this very moment I realize that the super religious people are mad at me )
Q : So , if you're saying that both Heaven and Hell doesn't technically exist , then what are they ?
A : I've never seen / been to Heaven , or Hell . Furthermore , who would want to go to Hell ? In life , everything is divided into two sides . It's like how the Ying and Yang works .
Q : Further explain the beginning of time
A : " In the beginning , God created the Heavens and the Earth , and everything in between " . That would be based on a biblical standard . A scientific mindset ? It does involve God , but it also involves other theories like how us humans were once apes and we learned to evolve over the past thousands of years. Dates . The year is 2016 , while there are also timestamps of B.C and A.D , which is technically the start of 0000 onwards. Then there's the longer period of millions of years ago . That involves the dinosaurs , giant spiders and the Megalodon . " Scientists made up dinosaurs to discourage time travel " . I don't think it's simple to make bones , bury them deep in the ground , then after a few decades dig them up again and claim them as a new discovery . Time travel ? Time cannot be altered . It's always moving forwards , not backwards , and it certainly doesn't pause at a specific interval. Time travel is pure fiction , and chances of it being discovered in reality is a close estimation to NEVER. Sorry for ruining your dreams of seeing the dinosaurs. But now if you think about it , the dinosaurs are huge - which means they'd step on you and you'd be dead . And what happens if your time machine stops functioning ? You'd be stuck in time , millions and millions of years ago. Go figure your life goals.
Q : What is the meaning of life ?
A : The straight forward truth would be to live it to it's fullest. But , it's not that simple. There are tons of obstacles that are in life , and you'd have to endure them all to survive.
You come into the world -> get into kindergarten -> get into elementary school -> get into high school -> get into university -> get a job -> get married -> retire -> enjoy your final moments in life . Then you're dead.
Depressing huh ?
I think I covered this topic before , but I'd like to talk about it again , and probably make things more complexed .
In an existential perspective ( which is what this whole Blog post is about anyways ) , life would mean to experience and learn things to be independent and survive in a harsh world with a lot of struggles and problems. The purpose ? Scroll up to the part where I mentioned about an everlasting war between Heaven and Hell . "Living" is basically boot camp , in which whatever you do and the choices you make in life would determine where you'd go to in the afterlife , and which side you'd be fighting alongside for all eternity.
Q : How existential are you ?
A : Very existential.
Q : What does "existential" even mean ?
A : To end this Blog post which went everywhere , in my opinion - the term existential means that you tend to always question life in a very in-depth point of view , and you live a very dark and demented life.

Q : So , if you're saying that both Heaven and Hell doesn't technically exist , then what are they ?
A : I've never seen / been to Heaven , or Hell . Furthermore , who would want to go to Hell ? In life , everything is divided into two sides . It's like how the Ying and Yang works .
As you can see , there's a black side , which represents the darkness and there's a white side , which represents the light. The same goes for each day that revolves , there's the morning , and the night. A clear sky , and a pitch black sky. Heaven and Hell works the same way. Heaven is the light , and Hell is the darkness . God is the light , while the Devil is the darkness. Again , everything has two sides to them. But to answer the question , Heaven would mean being able to live in the light in the afterlife , whereas Hell would mean living in the damnation of darkness for all eternity .
Q : Then explain good luck , bad luck , and the Angels and Demons.
A : Karma . If you do good onto others , then others will do good onto you. It's how the world revolves around . Of course , you're not guaranteed a lifetime of good luck if you were to be a good Samaritan all your life , as life is a series of ups and downs , but people will like and respect you for being a good person. Bad luck works the entirely opposite way. Angels , demons . Referring to my statement in the previous question ( which I asked myself and answered myself ) , things works two in two sides. The Guardians of Heaven , and Defenders of Hell . An everlasting war between the two parties , while us humans are in between the onslaught .
Angels would basically be all the positivity and good things / deeds that you might see and experience. Demons would work the opposite way , which basically toys with your consciousness and imagination . So if you're a very skeptical and insecure person , you'd start to hallucinate things that aren't even there .. You'd claim to see ghosts , souls , and everything in the Underworld. But , that's all in your imagination. If you have a positive mindset , you would not experience any of this.
Q : What about " based on a true story " horror shows ?
A : They may show that the Annabelle doll is haunted. Maybe Emily Rose did get possessed and had to undergo an exorcism . But there's always a certainty that spirits exist , considering that each person consists of a spirit in a body . And after we pass on , our spirit travels to the Afterlife for Judgment. Although they are based on a true story , there never is 100% evidence that those things did take place , as it was never recorded in a video format . Life experiences with the supernatural is a good pointer and can be used as proof , but pure evidence would come from the original sightings of what really happened , rather than recreating the whole story in a movie - risking your chances of summoning REAL evil spirits on set , and giving you an eerie time . Look up what happened to the cast of the original Poltergeist if you want to know more.

A : " In the beginning , God created the Heavens and the Earth , and everything in between " . That would be based on a biblical standard . A scientific mindset ?
