What do you believe happens when you die

XSEAN · July 28, 2016, 08:55:31 PM

This isn't a topic which sides right and which sides wrong, In your mind what do you think happens.

Me: I'm religious so I believe in the afterlife and the Kingdom of heaven. Up there are all your dead friends,relatives and pet...

Dan · July 28, 2016, 08:56:14 PM

I don't know.

SecondClass · July 28, 2016, 08:56:52 PM

There is no afterlife.

Pippen · July 28, 2016, 09:02:07 PM

I go six feet under and decompose.

Other than that? I don't have a clue, i'll tell you all about it when I get there.

What are you talking about?

People don't just stop living.

Jono · July 28, 2016, 09:13:38 PM

You go to your own personal imagining of Heaven and spend eternity there

Doctor Doom · July 28, 2016, 09:19:07 PM

I'm going to live forever.

Aether · July 28, 2016, 09:27:18 PM

I can't say for sure what will happen but my idea of death is the final and ultimate dissolution of the ego to the point that it no longer arises within conscious experience. Consciousness, on the other hand, I see as some fundamental aspect of being that supersedes the ego and all sensed, perceived, and conceived phenomena. Even time itself.

you go to hell.

Your body has a 3% chance of being raped by the undertaker

Since my consciousness isn't capable of thinking/feeling/experiencing when I'm dead, from my POV I will never be dead, so I don't have to worry about it.

God isn't real, though. Heaven and Hell aren't actual places. Snape kills Dumbledore.

Super Irish · July 28, 2016, 10:21:32 PM

I'll cease to function.

After the initial pain and fear from whatever kills me, I won't see, smell, hear or feel anything. Sounds bad, but considering I won't be thinking much after death, it ain't terrible.

I won't be going anywhere other than 6ft in the ground, until I breakdown and get dispersed across several km's until eventually I get recycled in the mantle, or I get petrified and go on display as some ancient ancestor in a museum.

Korra · July 28, 2016, 10:22:30 PM

I dunno.

Hopefully something relatively nice.

Naru · July 28, 2016, 10:25:27 PM

Ushan · July 29, 2016, 02:42:42 AM

Elai · July 29, 2016, 02:45:57 AM

I try not to think about it.

Verbatim · July 29, 2016, 02:49:12 AM

same thing you experience before you're born, etc.

AKA absolute perfection, bliss, sublimity, peace

You ever fall asleep and wake up without any dreams in between, just a blank space in your memory?

P much that but you never wake up.

Well it can't be bliss or sublime because you don't have the capacity to feel that when you're dead.

which is in itself blissful and sublime

Our souls travel Yggdrasil's branches until we reach Helheim, since none of us are going to be lucky enough to die in battle.

Read the definitions of these words

read into what i'm saying

the thought, the idea of nothingness is blissful and sublime to me

i realize that, according to what i believe happens, you don't feeling anything, period--but me, sitting here right now, contemplating that idea from the outside, it seems wonderful to me

Winy · July 29, 2016, 10:13:11 AM

You done gone and be dead like before you were born there ain't nothin' yer' consciousness goes and does ceasin.'

Kitsune 狐 · July 29, 2016, 10:14:44 AM

you die and then whatever you believe will happen happens.

So if you believe you just die you just die
if you believe you will go to heaven you go to heaven
if you believe that everyone is going to burn in hell then you will go to hell
if you believe you will be reincarnated you will be reincarnated
If you believe that you will fly through space and time infinitely then you will do so.

I think the human brain is powerful enough to make this happen.
