I always thought it meant may a person's soul rest in peace. We've heard about purgatory and how some people's soul may not got to heaven depending on how they died and the life they lived on Earth. I'm not religious and I dont necessarily share this belief but that's how I interpreted it.
so do you say R.I.P.??????????????????
when a person dies
and I would stay away from religion that's what the Pharasees were in the bible all about religion
but Christ came to establish a lifestyle and whole mind state change
I don't understand how ppl can just go blindly saying R.I.P. and not believe in a soul or a God
doesn't make any sense
because if you don't believe in a heaven/hell and in God
then there is no where for the sould to go ..
you just live and you die nothing else
and other the racist comments it's not about America is about the sin nature of man
we just see it more now because of the information/media boom
this is why dictators like to control the flow of information and the media
the internet has bust open the flood gates
but N.Korea block the internet access somewhat
and I think Saudi Arabia and others
rather you believe in Christ or not
I see it rude to say R.I.P. if you don't really believe there anything to rest in peace
this is my opinion and as grown men and women you can have yours'
