Students-led discussion

I joined a students-led discussion on Tuesday. During twenty minutes, the students were intensively discussing what is after death. This topic were related to the religions, so the answers of the students were dependent on what they believed. For example,the Christians students believe that people go to heaven after they die. The Muslim consider that people's soul leaves its body as they pass away. Apparently, there were some misunderstanding and disagreement between some students so that we stuck on talking about religions for most of the dicussing time. Since I didn't have any religions, in my opinion, the live just finish and disappear after die. However, in my culture, people believe that lives are cyclic. When a life is over, another life is going to sart. In this discussion group, as many students argued with others, it was more like a debate activity. It was pretty fun.:)

Hi Qi! I'm sorry but I don't know who you are >.< (maybe Yan, I guess). It's a pity for me that I couldn't participate this discussion group. I sure that many students argued together excitingly. I completely agree with you that people live as a circle; it means after they died, they will begin in a new born.

Sounds like it was a topic that everyone had strong opinions about. I find it interesting that there are so many different beliefs about this one topic.
