What do you think happens when you die?

[Bistnal]

I'm surprised this hasn't turned into a flaming, full blown religious debate yet. But I personally believe the Islamic perspective. Which is at its core quite similar to Christian belief of Heaven and Hell, etc.

I hate atheists not because they don't believe in god but because they think they are know it alls they think that every religious person in the world is a delusional mind washed follower. It is actually quite common for people to challenge their parent's belief and not believe in god so how are we following the norm?

I agree...I don't hate atheists but all the ones I've talked to seem to have that same demeanor and attitude which is really, really irritating.

I believe in God & doing good.

Nuff said.

Nothing.

When your brain dies, your body dies; you have no thoughts, no conscience, no consciousness (the thing which allows you to ponder this question to begin with). You are DEAD. Simple as that. Anything beyond that or contradictory to that is fantasy and wishful thinking due to fear of death.

And the old "you can't be sure until your dead" is a win-win cop-out. Because the people who WISH something happens and who use that defense, when they're proven wrong... people who live in reality can't turn to them and go "I fucking told you", by definition.

Just because we're not dead and therefore can't 100% say it doesn't mean it's 50/50 or that it's a great mystery. As you can use that defense for anything. If I tell you I can fly and you say prove it and I say I can't but... "can you fly? no, therefore neither of us know for sure".

That kind of thinking is fucking gibberish. Mind-puke, nonsense, baby-thinking, cowardly avoidance of reality. There are an innumerable things we cannot absolutely define and say THIS CANNOT BE DONE, but that doesn't mean that they can be. We still know A LOT. We still know the laws by which our planet / surrounding life operates and we still have a logical basis which can be applied to anything. And logically, surviving your death is impossible. For it to be possible, every logical law of science would have to be wrong, but we can see constantly, they're... not.

We know our view of science and logic (at a basic level) are absolutely correct. We know it from the computers we type on, the cars we drive, the medicine that heals us. So, life after death = not possible. Anybody who says different can't face the fact they're going to one day not exist.

Which is beyond me anyway. Life is one giant pain the fucking ass as it is. Why the fuck would you want MORE? Isn't this enough, for fuck's sake. It's enough of a headache, fucking 40 years would do me fine. Who the fuck wants an eternity, stop being so fucking greedy.

And who the fuck are these cocksuckers constantly wishing and yearning for an infinite existence when they're not even half-way through or accomplished at... anything in their current life?. It'd be like having a gigantic feast put in front of you, a collosal selection of food for the next 80 years and going "what's after this?". It's like for fuck sake, eat what's in front of you first. Not that it makes the thought any less silly but man, I've had enough of life as it is. If there really was an eternal existence there'd be no escape, you'd blow your brains out and be right back into it... FOREVER? Who the fuck wants that. It's twisted.

i think satan rapes you

Cool story, bro.

Seriously though. My dad always used to tell me in drunken rants that; "If you don't remember when your born, you won't remember when you die son." I felt a bit skeptical about all religions after hearing that 12 or w/e years ago but you know.

We don't really know for sure what will happen and I'm not here to bash faiths. Actually its probably something that's not really a good forum discussion but you know. It's fascinating to learn about how people think our lives will end.

It's mans step closer to finding out our promised land; Either it be in the clouds, or in another fucken universe full of boob shaped planets.

(Cue slowly growing applause.)

I love how EmBase posted that huge thing, then Kaotic posts that joke one liner.

Thanks for the post EmBase, you have a lot of good points. I guess it's pointless to discuss this, you're right.

And it seems like this topic pissed you off, haha. Sorry.

lol You don't remember the flamefest and huge, hating debates Embase was involved w/ with the last religion topics made?

You die. Get buried/cremated. Rot. End of. Which I have no problem with so its all good.
Just gotta live the life you have the best you can.

[nuke]

Like tupac said " my only fear of death is reincarnation "

[Ka0t1c]

oh yeah, you poop when you die

[Willy]

I believe in Heaven and Hell, but not as complicated as Guta lol. If you are a well meaning person who is sorry for their sons, and you love God you get to heaven. And I think no matter how bad your life is, God will give you a chance when being judged to ask for forgiveness.

As a Catholic it is a legitimate belief to believe that Hell is empty, and I'm gonna stick to that

There are some things I don't get about Catholics, this is something I REALLY don't get. Mind you, I was raised a Catholic.

"And I think no matter how bad your life is, God will give you a chance when being judged to ask for forgiveness." Abso-fucking-lutely-not. The last thing I would do after the end of my miserable existence on earth would be to ask for forgiveness from the god that granted it to me. AND I have to love him? Makes no sense, I didn't ask for life, I just am. I don't owe him anything. In fact, why the fuck does he even want me to ask for forgiveness, or love him? Why is god so insecure? Because god didn't create us in his image, we created him in ours. Our "perfect" deity displays weaknesses found in man. He is a quick tempered, imperfect, unreasonable......and so on, and so on.

However, I don't think poorly of the average church-goer's intentions. Like my parents, I believe many of them are good natured people that just have people they love far too much to be able to accept them go for all eternity. . .

Fuck, its 8 am. Goodnight!

One last thing-

When we die we go back and relive all the choices we made, unknowingly of course, and go down that alternate path. This happens over and over again infinitely.

or

Our subconscious that created everything we perceived in our human shell for a brief moment realizes what is going on, then there is a bright light and we are born.
