What happens after death? SERIOUS DISCUSSION

[Apie2]

I think Death is like falling asleep. Only this time you won't wake up.

[Supertoaster]

I want to say I believe in reincarnation but I don't know.

It would basically be everlasting life except without the torture of knowing you will live forever

[Cake Faice]

I just believe that that's it. Game over. You don't think, hear, sense, feel, see, or anything.

Who knows if there is a higher power that exists out there or not. Religion was just basically to set morals/standards for society. The first people on Earth didn't know how anything worked, so they worshiped anything that they didn't know, but was there for some reason, until society started to discover the purpose of natural things and how they came along.

Time moved on, people created more and more concepts of religion to instill fear to keep society structured...until technology and science advanced, and more and more stuff had a logical reason behind it, ex. natural elements, water, weather.

Maybe once you bite the dust, you get your own fantasy land or whatever, maybe with the option to shape it how you want it. No one knows...because no one brought back the declared dead so far.

because no one brought back the declared dead so far.

What about the ones with the near death experiences?

What about the ones with the near death experiences?

There's actually a few websites that explain that. Here's one.

What about the ones with the near death experiences?

You're still not dead.

[Cake Faice]

You're still not dead.

The human mind does freaky shit when you're about to die.

[Rocket50]

Agnostic ftw!

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

In my opinion, this is the exact reason why Christians/Catholics have the WORST mindset.

If you're an atheist/don't believe in afterlife, then you would value your life so much more more and every opportunity you take is immensely precious because life is one-use and once you're dead, you're dead; There's no heaven to loaf around in for eternity.

However, if you are a theist/believing in the afterlife, you would live with the mindset that everything in life is trivial, and you wouldn't appreciate experiences as much because you ultimately feel that nothing here on earth would even measure up to what could be in the after life.

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

Of course Eternal Darkness once you lose all of your 5 senses when dying

[Frank]

I don't really know, and I think the only way of knowing is to die. Therefore, I live my life as good as I can, and try not to blow my head over such trivialities. If the only reason you have to act "good" is the promise of Heaven or a Heaven-like place, you don't deserve such place.

[memo3300]

I don't know what happens after death, but after some freaky encounters i do seriously believe there is something after death.

[Tezuni]

Nobody knows.  Imagine it's something nice though it'll make life better lol.

[pyrosheep]

I don't know what happens after death, but after some freaky encounters i do seriously believe there is something after death.

Explain

[Loke]

I remember thinking that how good you were in your life, you come to life in a different animal.
Without any memory of course.

[Deathie]

I find it interesting how many people believe in reincarnation.
