What happens when you die?

[Niteflite]

I did a search and found no results.

The question is, what do you think happens when you die? Afterlives, etc) but try and make your answers less religion specific.

I actually found a quote a bit back i found rather interesting.

With much thought being put into the question what happens when you die, I ask you this, are we not already dead?

Im sure certain things contradict that but i felt it was pretty clever.

My personal opinion is: afterlives are confined to our beliefs, namely religious beliefs.

[Xalren]

dunno

[spike47]

many answers for this. Don't look at Athiests for the answer and don't look at Christians, Catholics, etc. Find it within you I guess or whatever suits you.

Either way we are all f*cked. Unless God exists. ;)

[Niteflite]

dunno

Well i doubt anyone does, but i was meerly asking for opinion : sorry if i wasnt clear enough

[Eyrothath]

Do I want to go somewhere when I die!? Hell Yes! I want to be immortal and live forever in an after-life, but will I? I do not know the answer to that... I will tell you where I want to go though, and what I want to be there. :)

[Xalren]

Well i doubt anyone does, but i was meerly asking for opinion : sorry if i wasnt clear enough

Actually that is my opinion, we just don't know.

[Viluin]

Nothing happens after you die. Your mind ceases to exist. Stop being emo about death, there's no afterlife of any kind. There's no reason to believe there is one, it's just a concept made up by fags.

[Atua]

You rot in a casket, or you fuel an oven for a few minutes.

[Pernix]

I'm pretty sure there's absolutely nothing after death.

Some people have said that everyone will end up in his own perfect imaginative "world". I must say that does sound more appealing.

[Hyster]

You go To HELL
most likey a low level NPC mob (quest) on a WoW server

Well, if you don't believe he exists, your still f*c*ked. :D

I will hopefully go to heaven.

[Bloody blade]

You fall to the flour and all vital organs shut off, i thought this was est.

[Temet nosce]

Your body gets tossed into the ground and decomposes as food for the worms.

Either that or you get incinerated.

I always imagined god as a giant troll (internet style of course). Everyone goes to heaven smugly, then when the good people ask to get in he says. "Uh yeah you weren't good enough bye." "What!?" "Nah just kidding all those rules were just to mess with you, everyone gets in."

[Niteflite]

I think that if you are not religious you wont share the same afterlife of someone who is, therefore not believing imo wont get you sent to hell, ( if it exists ).

Since, afterall,some religions have different ideas of afterlifes right? Who is to decide which i am going to have,

[Mr.LichTwitch]

The question ought to be, "What doesn't happen when you die?".

[iza]

Being dead feels pretty much the same as pre-conception.

The OP reminds me of those people who make Zelda vs FF threads on D&D forums saying that they want it to be a unbiased and friendly discussion. Then when someone says something they try to shoot it down.

I am not saying that it is too that point, but I see it coming up.

He hasn't really shot down anything yet.

I don't think people should worry about where they go when they die. If they cease to exist, they will have no memory or hope to taunt them, or failure and uncertainty to worry them. If they continue to exist, they will realize they didn't have to worry about the question to begin with. It will always be a mystery.

My preference for an afterlife would simply be a plane scape, in which everyone lived in their own plane, could merge their planes and separate their planes with other consenting people, and could control everything in their respective plane. Basically small gods of infinite worlds, with the potential to visit anyone else's creative landscape, and participate or spectate depending on the owner.

Really an artist's world, but I have enough faith in the human mind that eternity wouldn't be dreadful in such a place.

What's actually going to happen? Don't know, and I'm not going to worry about it. While trials and tribulations might visit me on Earth, I do not see it as a final testing ground. It could be though, interesting but irresolvable to think about.

[Wickfield]

When you die, you are immediately transported to heaven, where 70 virgins await you to provide your cock with endless pleasure.

Here comes a serious post.

In the past 2 months, this question, and doubt about my religion plagued me. I have decided to let go of the ignorant grasp that religion had over me simply because I just saw no reason in believing in any of it because all of their claims seemed so insane and ignorant to me, and it had no basis of fact. I became a free thinker and I encourage others to it, without a biased point of view. I've decided to live by three simple rules: live you life to the fullest of your abilities, respect the rights of others, and leave this world a little better than it was before I existed. To me, death is inevitable, it's a question of how and when. Even though I have no idea of what happens after we die, and neither any of us have the slightest clue, but I still cling to that little hope that death would be more of a transition to something else rather than inexistence.

I don't know though, we'll just have to wait and see. ;)

[Paganini]

It's kind of like before you were alive aka nothing

[ppsh42]

You scared me in the first part and middle but the end was nice. I can't force myself to believe in something I don't want to believe in simply because of fear.

/agree

Also, I love applying one of my favorite quotes to this type of topic, "People will believe a lie either because they want to believe it's true or because they are afraid it might be true." Meaning that people tend to believe in a divine being simply because they want to, for the reward of eternal paradise, or because they're afraid of the consequences of not believing, i.e. eternal damnation. :ninja:

Of course, I'm not saying I wouldn't mind a pleasant afterlife... but meh... I don't see it happening. :p

[ppsh42]

I was exactly the same bro. Don't be biased in anyway, and check out some of the other information out there that debunks all religions. Open your eyes, think rationally, and you'll realize that all religions are the same. They all have the same concepts, just twisted and turned to convert those who prefer it over the other. That is part of the reason why people continue on believing is because they want to believe; they're scared of purging that belief and living on a happy, free life. Think freely, without the bondage of religion.

[Ungraylessness]

Some people feel optimistic when they avoid sin and so the optimism causes them to ignore negatives they would otherwise blame on their lack of faith.

When you believe things will turn out well they usualy do.

When you die, there is black, and then you can do or make whatever you want, godstyle.

But then again, we can't know for sure. I hope their is an afterlife, but I don't have the evidence to prove it. We'll just have to stick around, and meet the Grim Reaper.

Well from what i heard its 70 virgins in 70 rooms...(as far as islam is concerned) IMO, teaching 4900 women how to have sex would be torture... just lemme have one that can do it right

[tazco]

Good question i ponder on this alot to, but never came up with anything good.
I have a hard time beliving that heaven even exits. I do belive in ghosts or spirits, I have seen things that I belive were spirits. If there is a heaven and hell then earth as we know it alive is hell and when you die you go to heaven witch is earth in a diff form. Earth is a beautiful place but maybe its nicer through the eyes of the dead.

There is no doubt in my mind that there is stuff out there the human race might never know about. I have a question about space thats been bothering me for a while but don`t think it needs a thread. If you fly in space to you eventuly hit an invisible wall like in game bondrys or does it go for ever?
and if it does go forever how do we know there is not another earth with a sun like ours. Ufos and shit is a diff story but there is others out the i beilve.

Back on topic death is something we will never know about since know one can really die and come back. Unless technology alows us to in the future sometime, but can`t see it in any of our life times anyway.

It can go well if you persist enough. Waiting and praying for God to make it well won't make it better. I learned that the hard way.

pretty much everyone thats accepted Jesus as their personal savior goes to heaven

Things can go wrong. People have a tendency to better themselves, because all those who didn't died a long time ago. A superstitial person may stub their toe and then decide they need to stop procrastinating. Somethings are just unlucky and relating chance to a way of doing things doesn't help anyone.

I don't think they contradict, but I get what you're saying.

Rather biased, thats assuming if Christianity is the ONLY religion and jesus is the only religious savior. There are other religions, saying one is more legit then the other is wrong.

i like to hope there is an after life. if there is, then YAY! but think about it, if there is a heaven, how would everyone fit in it? people say its as big as the universe, but nothings lasts forever. it would get jammed. so right now we just have to believe its possible there is an afterlife, even though odds are, there isn't.

I sound like a freakin hippy when I say this, but for some reason I always feel like that when we die we become something else.

And I don't mean an animal specifically, I mean literally anything else that lives would be possible.

No man made objects.

Kind of sounds ridiculous but somehow that got stuck into my head and I'd personally feel like it would be awesome, you could be a friggen tiger.

[Lewser]

Everything decays, in the sense of physics.
If your consciousness is anything more then electrical charges in your brain, then eventually, according to physics, it will decay to a simpler state, until it eventually ceases to be.
Therefore, the afterlife would be less complex then this life, and previous lives(if they exist), more complicated.
Just my 2 cents

[palo god]

Hmmmm. If it weren't for the fact that I'de have to be a Mormon, I could get in on this Morman stuff.

I personally couldn't, the things in that video are pretty retarded, that video that I edited in was banned by their church like 20 years after they made it, since most people that saw it didn't want to be Mormon.

The video is funny as hell to say the least.

[OchieGurl]

i think god exists but not as we see it now. god is beyond our comprehension, thats why we can't explain the things we believe as miracles or supernatural stuff. to be able to scientifically explain phenomena like this is when the apocalypse comes around and then some. so when we die we'll just become a part of the earth and become elements again i guess like material stuff then we'll become other stuff. its like garbage, we get recycled.

i think our thoughts are transmitted like radio waves to the universe and then the universe sends it back to you but it can't tell if its bad for you or not. for example if you think "i'm not going to fall , i'm not going to fall" then you're going to fall. i'm sure many people know what i mean. eventually these thoughts get sent back and forth through universes that are parallel to us and die out. but its going to seem like infinity to us before they die out. you could be running here on earth but you can be flying in another universe simultaneously. lol i like thinking about this stuff. this is what i think about when i space out. its crazy O.O :ohno:

edit: and each time your thought is sent into another place then its sent out again just a little bit different because you're doing something parallel to another you in another dimension. i think thats why the universe is expanding. crazy? yes

[OchieGurl]

depends on your meaning on afterlife
