What happens after death? SERIOUS DISCUSSION

[Juan_Ambriz]

So I've been recently thinking about life after death, because of discussions about religion in AP History.

what happens when you die? Do you go into eternal darkness? Do you dream?

I'm Catholic (like most of the Mexican people lol) and of course I believe in god, now i do believe their is a heaven and hell. But recently I have been thinking about other things.

Like what if you go into eternal darkness, it's hard to thinK about it, but try; Darkness forever. FOREVER. That would be horrible. It's hard to even grasp the word "Forever" I think it's hard to grasp because there is no end,it goes forever lol...
Or
Dreaming for ever. That would be a little bit better.

Like I said I believe there is a heaven and hell after death.

What are your guys's beliefs and ideas about life after death?



Remember I posted this in the respect free section, feel free to input your opinion as long as it isn't bashing there idea/belief I don't want this to be a flame war. Kthx

Nothing, nothing at all.

I've thought about this before as well. Quite deeply in fact.

I've thought about the religion aspect, there being a hell an heaven and all. Didn't really think much of it, however.

The one I've thought was the most reasonable was that there is nothing after life. No pain, no suffering. No happiness, no joy. Nothing.

Now, I don't mean to sound emo or depressed, because I'm far from it. It's just, what makes us so special from anything else on this earth?

There is more of a reason to it, but I don't feel like getting to deep into it just yet.

If you've ever seen Torchwood, death and the afterlife was a reoccurring theme, even in the first episode.

It really made you think about this kind of stuff, albeit their explanation was pretty dark. It did a good job of making it more "scary" when you thought a character was going to die (and given the nature of torchwood, you really didn't know when someone was going to die).

As for my personal beliefs, I really don't know. I don't really have a belief as to what happens when you die. If you want to look at what science tells us, you just die. Brain activity ceases, nothing happens. It just stops.

I'm a pretty firm believer in the paranormal/ghosts though. The thing is though, my thoughts are entirely based on residual energy. Someone could be really attached to a place, or an object, and a imprint is left behind. That's the explanation I follow, at least. The residual levels can vary from events/sounds that just repeat through time, regardless if someone is there to hear it, to sentience or a "clone" of the person who was there.

Again though, that's getting into my crackpot theories about ghosts. Blame /x/ for that. Psychic energies and whatnot.

I wanted to say "Marie strips in front of you" but then I saw serious discussion...

But I always though of it of your beliefs, like if you believe in Heaven and Hell you either go to heaven or hell, same with atheism, you just go inside of another life, (animal, person, fish, etc).

Why do I think that? I have no slightest idea.

[HideoKojima]

Agnostic ftw!

Anyways. Who knows man. Christians/Catholics have the best mindset really, you get to go to heaven.

If you die something good happens. Atheists and shit once you ded you ded. Which is kinda depressing mindset.
Though honestly, Heaven almost sounds boring because it's forever which seems odd and scary.

I wish it's like a vidya gaem. When we die, we just make a new character. :p

Who knows man. Who knows....

Yea, it goes on debates of philosophical crap. Makes people think "Am I really here?" And then people would use the old quote "I think, therefore I am." but then one could say "What if we were made to think that?" and the cycle continues with no real answer. lol

I like to pretend this is just a giant game of Spore.

[jimonions]

Freedom and a whole lot of nothing.

[pyrosheep]

I'm an Atheist so I don't believe in an after-life, but then again I don't know what happens when you die. If I had to guess it's probably just an eternal slumber because you're DEAD.

[yoshi]

I personally think you become another living creature. That's all

Darkness forever. FOREVER. That would be
Dreaming for ever. That would be a little bit better.

Oh, but I'd love being in darkness forever after living here ._.

Eternity of Silence and nonstimulation. Pen-ultimate reward.

Dreaming for ever. That would be a little bit better.

There could be many versions of dying, and well, realities (you know where I'm going with this, lol). Quantum Physics.

That and the supposed idea that the universe exists because you perceive it, and it's only that way from within your mind. There might actually be no such thing as 'blue' or 'red', even without the human construct called 'names', except from behind the eyes of a human being with trichromacy turning Planck radiation into colour. We all know 'sound' exists as a vibration of waves in a volume if there's no one around to hear it, but it's only 'sound' when someone is there to hear it right.

I don't know what awaits me, or anyone else, and I may never radiation

If there can be many worlds, and Schrodigner's cat proves true, and so does Quantum Suicide; believe whatever you want.

You're probably going to end up there according to some sort of magic/quantum mechanic in your brain/soul.

Or because it's the only thing there.

Maybe to go so far as to say that if you believe hard enough, you'll create the reality. This sentence kind of agrees with the 'dream forever' fate, which means that we might create realities, or hijack the First-Person View of alternate selves during a dream.

That would also explain the theory of Quantum Suicide; it's all one big dream, if you wake up, you're dead. If you don't, you're someone else very very identical to you every single nanosecond of a nanosecond.

And then there's reincarnation, too.

As for the heaven/hell thing, if QI even exists, then I'm going to assume Karma might be some sort of energy-based value that determines what reality/realm you end up in supposing there's a soul and it's made of pure energy. That energy might dissipate or randomly teleport all at once (quarks, unsure about leptons) into said realm according to the 'weight' of the soul.

Would explain ghosts? Just a theory/ies, no means to offend.

As for God/Gods, Can't say can, can't say can't. I'll take it as it is.
It'd feel really great though to talk to "The creator of everything" at the end of, well, everything.
We could just be mathematical functions and values inside a machine, that creates a virtual reality.
Or it could be according to lore.
Not of my knowledge or place to say.

For me? I don't know.

I'm hoping for a pocket reality-type haven or eternity inside an infinite sandbox. I'll build buildings/monoliths for the rest of my eternity under a sunset on a cool summer evening. Could be a dream, could be a metaphysical existence.

My 'hell' would be the darkness. I'd enjoy it too; but I wouldn't even "              ". It'd be nothingness.

My real Hell might come as being Quantum Immortal. That means, I don't die, or see/experience death, ever. I am always the living copy, every second, every single chance, until I am the last copy, the 0.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001%. I won't 'die' until the Universe ends.

And to that, I could feel pain, most of the time. QI isn't so much superpowers but 'cursed with blessed suck'. Get crushed by a boulder? Have some broken bones, extreme pain, but still be alive somehow. Have cancer? Live with Terminal Everywhere Cancer for 5000000 years. Tired of watching everyone die? Too bad, go try drowning again.

It'd be nice not to anything ever after having done everything ever.

'Cool', boundless, nothingless nothing. Every single word is an oxymoron because nothingness doesn't have 'nothing' either, but that's okay.

[Foofoojack]

Freedom and a whole lot of nothing.

You reborn as a different human. That's what I think.

I wanted to say "Marie strips in front of you" but then I saw serious discussion...

10/10 would die to find out

[Astropilot]

I believe you "sleep" for a long period of time until the roulette chooses you to be alive again. You don't remember what happened because you're "asleep". Time flies fast.

[Tiger Guy]

I wanted to say "Marie strips in front of you"

That's how I was raped asshole.
