We get buried :-#

 

 

 

I've actually been thinking about this... Since no one has come back to life from the dead we don't have any actual information... Being honest I think when we die, the brain is still active so we would go into a never ending dream where whatever happens I guess... But then again, I have also been thinking about reincarnation so I am just :wall:

 

 

 

I wouldn't mind reading your thoughts on this matter...

I think time goes in a circle rather than a line. You die, then you repeat your whole life over and over again. That could be why we have Deja Vu. I just don't see how there could be a "beginning" or "end" to it all.

Since we can't comprehend nothingness, we can't comprehend dying. Which is what happens in my mind.

Nothing happens. The same nothing that happened before we were born.

Our bodies decompose? I really haven't given any thought of what may happen after life. I'd rather be surprised than have a strong belief regarding the afterlife (or even lack therof). I would love the idea of reincarnation better unless the world just changes for the worse and becomes some weird George Orwellian society or whatever. The idea of being in the heaven with the very same God that sent millions of people to hell just doesn't appeal to me. Then again I pose this question: "How can an all-loving God send someone to an infinite amount of time in hell for committing a finite amount of sin while they were alive?"

 

 

 

But since we can't prove God (or disprove) the idea of nothing happening after death (cease to exist, enter nothingness) is just as valid as any statement of an afterlife. So really, your guess is just as good as mine.

I believe we simply die, and cease to exist. Nothing more nothing less. But I'd like to think that there is more to death than ceasing. An afterlife would be interesting, but I just don't believe it could exist.

Very interesting idea. It could explain why we experience Deja Vu, but why would time be constantly repeating itself, it just seems to random for time to do that. How would history explain itself aswell. Or does time continue in 2 variations (one continuous, more people born/more people die, the world develops more. Then one where once we've died, our life is repeated for eternity, without full memory of the life (only tiny glitches of information, hence deja vu). :-k

and for that never ending cycle thing: i think that "seeing your life flash before your eyes" is happening right up until the point you die then you reincarnate into a random gender and species

I once believed in reincarnation. But the population of all species combined grows each year, so where would new 'life' come from to fit into the new bodies/creatures born?

You do know flame wars are gonna start because some strong religionist is going to post "We get sent to heaven".

 

 

 

Anyway, imo after we die, we just stop. Our brain, which controls our emotions and thoughts, stop, and then that's it. There's nothing after life, because once out brain goes bye-bye, there's nothing we can do, and nothing we can feel, and nowhere we can go.

Well that would just be their view though. Everyone is open to posting their view on the matter, it is just whether people respond in a negative manner (of which would be removed).

there are a lot of animals we've never discovered yet and quite a few species are going extinct right now. and what about life not on Earth?

not to mention massive amounts (I'm talking quadrillions) of bacteria. But if you get reincarnated as a bacteria, your life probably sucked worse than anybody elses

Like most of you (apparently), I think that we do not ascend to heaven when we die, or go to hell: we simply stop working. It actually makes life seem somewhat of a waste, doing all of that just to shut off in the end? It really isn't a very appealing though to me... :|

I'll be burnt in a Crem, my ashes will be spread over some place, and end up in soil where they'll provide plants with carbon-based nutrition to grow.

 

 

 

My death will help something else grow. Such is the carbon cycle. That's my positive way of looking at it anyway.

 

 

 

I don't believe in spirits, so heaven's out of the question.

Or, instead of wasting all that energy on heat, you could have them remove your bones and bury the boneless corpse in a forest for direct nutrition :thumbsup:

yeah i want to be cremated as well, being buried just takes up space and wont be useful until the day your bones become coal.

Oh really... so how you gonna get a corpse to the forest without burning oil (unless you mean you'll carry my mutilated self by hand)? ;)

If thats what it takes... :

I'm having myself cremated, and I want a statue made of me as a youth (mid 20's), and have the ashes placed into the cement. :

 

 

 

Or I want a cement bench with my ashes placed inside, be something useful after death :lol:

I like to think there's so sort of afterlife. Maybe one that relates no no specific religion, making them all right or wrong (depending on how you look at it). Wouldn't we all look like fools if we all got to "Heaven" only to find that fighting between religions was worthless.

 

 

 

I also like the idea of an endless dream state. I enjoy sleeping just for my dreams so spending eternity living in my dreams would be a treat as good as Heaven ;)

Like Yivo? (5 internets to the first person to get the reference)

I think time goes in a circle rather than a line. You die, then you repeat your whole life over and over again. That could be why we have Deja Vu. I just don't see how there could be a "beginning" or "end" to it all.

 

God, I've thought of that, and the idea depressed me to no end. That would suuuuuuuuuuuck.

Agreed. :shock:

the people fighting between religions are fools.

You just don't exist physically anymore. That's all that is going to happen. Do you remember before you were born? No, and you're not going to remember when you die either. The human mind has an impossible time comprehending it's own demise, so we like to make up stories about what's going to happen when we die. The real truth: We just cease to exist.
