Maleficus1055 Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Nothing at all, you just cease to exist, like before you entered this world. And your body rots in a hole undergorund (if you get buried that is.) Tumblr. Follow me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And your body rots in a hole undergorund (if you get buried that is.) Depressing. but unfortunately, likely the truth. silence + darkness. absolute nothingness.

Alg Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 I'd like to think it's reincarnation. Though Maleficus is probably right as far as dying goes, as much as I dislike the idea of just ceasing to exist.

Rebdragon Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 This would be better suited as a poll than a thread. I'd love to see how TIF's split up on this matter, but I couldn't give a hoot about an endless and redundant discussion. Hope we get a poll up, but until then, I'm with Maleficus. I don't understand why that seems depressing though. Eternal life scares me more.

Alg Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Think the only ones that can set up polls here are mods, so request? :D Eternal life is only depressing if you're conscious for all of it, I'd think... But then that's just me being unable to fully comprehend nothingness... :lol: I painted some stuff and put it on tumblr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmmcannibalism Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 What do you believe lies beyond our mortal coil? Hamlet much? OT interesting question of course, my bets are on either floating in nothingness concious for eternity or simple end to existing. Orthodoxy is unconciousnessthe only ones who should kill are those who are prepared to be killed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scootlaboot Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 I'm 50/50 on this. Of course, I believe if there is an afterlife, no religion on the planet has the right version of it. Off topic. Valhalla, its the only after life I'd want after life. Although I am a firm believer in the staying on earth as a spirit just to [bleep] with people. If you choose your beliefs/lifestyle simply based on what your parents want, then you are a weak minded individual and are not even worthy of calling yourself a person.

Nenga Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Well most likely we just rot in the ground. Though it'd be fun to have like a greek underworld. Where you go is based on your favor with the gods. I bet all those religious people killing in the name of god would piss the greek gods off so bad. Ponies!

PuppyKing Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Theres this one guy, his name is Jared. (hes got a really big house) and he invites you to live with him. If you refuse, you go to Sam`s house. (its on fire or something, Idk. :? ) If you accept Jared offer, you can live with him, and play xbox and runescape forever. :thumbsup: Blog.

Returned3 Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 I'd imagine sitting still in total darkness forever kinda.. scary and boring. I chose to believe that we will either reincarnate or become ghosts. 00:00:0500:00:0400:00:0300:00:0200:00:0100:00:00 Break the Walls down!

RichieMcD Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 I've always had two thoughts as I've never been 100% sure on either of my ideas. I don't believe in Heaven nor Hell as preached in the Christian bible. My view is, there is some form of a higher power, yet no religion preaches him as he wants to be preached, he'll grant afterlife to those who are a benefit to the world I.e Helpful to others, not people who devote their life to pleasing god yet are a horrible person (I've come across quite a few) simply because "we're not pleasing god." I just can't believe in the Christian or Islamic ideas of "Heaven", I really think a fair god would grant entry into some form of paradise through the persons work during his life, not his 40 minutes every Sunday and a pray before bed.

i_love_burritos Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 I'm have a similar belief like Kranked. However, I think what you people really want to know is, what is there ? Any thoughts or feelings we will experience ? Any super-ego conscience talking to us ? Floating dismembered heads ? Etcetera. So, what does it feel like to be dead. That's what I, like most other people [i presume], would like to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ouchy Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 We all know in science, that energy cannot be lost or destroyed, only created, yes? Well, one could classify us as a form of energy, or, at least having energy in us (Not going to go into diff. types). So, by that, what happens to us? We are simply destroyed? No. Our energy is transferred, and most likely, into a new born. That's just my 20 Cents/theory. Feel free to rip it to shreds. My relaxation method involves a bottle of lotion, beautiful women, and partial nudity. Yes I get massages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nadril Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Right now I think that nothing happens, that death is the end for us, and nothing happens after it. However the world is a very strange place and I wouldn't put anything at certain. While I don't believe that a god created everything or that there is some mastermind behind everything in the universe it isn't within the realm of possibility that something else happens when you die other than nothingness.

walka92 Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 i believe i will simply cease to exist. darkness, silence however, as noone knows what happens for sure, i want to make the most of my life so that i dont end up regretting it in hell :lol: I'm gonna be walking down an alley in varrock, and walka is going to walk up to me in a trench coat and say "psst.. hey man, wanna buy some sara brew"walka92- retired with 99 in attack, strength, defence, health, magic, ranged, prayer and herblore and 137 combat. some day i may return to claim 138 combat, but alas, that time has not yet come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seraphi Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Nothingness. Complete and utter nothingness. Its not bad though, since you wont be able to understand what bad is. Or anything for that matter.

wild_goat_14 Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 It's not darkness or nothingness. Your brain is dead. Therefore you are not there. You no longer exist, and you never know that you don't exist. You're just gone. You take your last breath, and that's it. You're gone. I shall take my flock underneath my own wing, and kick them right the [bleep] out of the tree. If they were meant to fly, they won't break their necks on the concrete.So, what is 1.111... equal to?10/9. Please don't continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You no longer exist, and you never know that you don't exist. You're just gone. You take your last breath, and that's it. You're gone. This is the thing I simply can't get my head around... I mean I know/am damn sure that it's true... but I can lie in my bed for hours, and even in my most abstract thoughts I can't imagine not existing... or not even being able to think that I don't exist... I just stop, and this makes the life I lead now seem so infantissimally small... it really is something I try to avoid thinking about now. You try to think: what does it feel like to be dead? But it doesn't feel, and nothing is or matters, or even exists from your prospective because you're not there to have a prospective any more. I could actually warble on for hours about this and get absolutely nowhere... it's scarily "nothingy", but at the same time not nothing, because nothing is, like everything else, prospective, and there is no prospective when you're dead.
