I believe that we can't know anything for sure until we are dead, so any thing we say until then is nothing but a wild guess.

So, in other words, I don't really care. I'd rather care about my actual life.
This.

What else can we say?

I'm not that religious, and neither am I inclining towards any religion as I say this, but I believe there is one God.

I personally believe that after we die, our souls go to heaven or hell. God is very forgiving, and God doesn't want anyone to be bad and go to hell, but since people who have done bad exist, God chooses to punish them in hell.

But every punishment must come to an end after the person who got the punishment succeeds in learning from it. In the end, even the people who went to hell will go to heaven one day, provided that in the end they accept their mistakes and change for the good. As long as they don't accept it from heart, they will remain in hell.

And heaven, I would describe, according to the religion that I took this part to believe from, is a dimension of your own, your own endless space, where you just have to wish for things to come true - and there they are. There is nothing that is impossible or limited in heaven - except your imagination. You wish for a world of your own and you'll have it there - there is nothing that you cannot get there.



Honestly, I would like there to be a 'heaven' or a 'hell', but my brain, my common sense, tells me that there is neither. Because of this I don't know what's after death. Maybe you repeat your life over and over again? Maybe your reincarnated into an insect or an animal of some type? Or maybe you just fall into an eternal sleep never waking up?
Personally, I don't believe in the theory of reincarnation and living your life over and over. A never-ending loop seems like a punishment itself - don't you see? God would never do such a thing like deleting all those memories, emotions, and feelings that you developed in your life - it makes you the person you are.

And for the theory of eternal sleep and ceasing to exist - neither do I believe in this one. This one would be an even more cruel punishment. All those experiences and feelings that you've developed in your life, all those people you love and met, everything finished in just one go? No, that does not represent the kindhearted God either.



I believe when you die, there is nothing. You are gone, with all your memories and emotions.

And to the "Do you believe in a god question"

No, I do not. I am an atheist. Don't get me wrong, I gave Chritianity a fair chance so it's not like I only know one side of the story. I've actually attended sunday school for years (what a waste of my time). Honestly, if there was a god, why would so many people be miserable? Starving? Why would diseases like aids, cancer and MS ruin peoples lives? Even those who worship that god?

But I respect anybody's views on the topic, and am anxious to read other peoples posts on the matter.
Before I start saying anything, I'd like to say something - I like how you respect anobody's views on this topic, and that I respect your's too - just to let you know.

For your first line, I'd like to refer back to what I wrote on the upper part of this post. Vanishing with all the memories, emotions, and experiences you have seems too cruel of a punishment from God. Since I'm not an athiest, I'd refer back to God's kindness on this one.

You say you've given a fair chance to Christianity, but what about giving a chance to other religions? Each have their own viewpoints, you know. And if you only like part of some religion, then abide by those selected few ways only, while not following the other things in those religions.

People suffer, starve, have diseases, and have a miserable life even with the existance of God because, according to what I believe - God is putting people to a test in this World. God has sent people to this world as a test, as a place to become a unique person, and most importantly - as a place to learn the basic things in life on your own. God doesn't want to interfere in this matter - but rather let it work on its own, till it comes to an end.

If God was controlling everything, no one would do things that bring harm, no one would have been a bad person, but God chooses to just keep looking at it instead of playing a part in the middle of it all, and I believe that God has a very good reason for doing that.

I'd like to remind you again that I still respect your view in all the ways it can be.

That is not all that I wanted to say - and I cannot seem to be able to fully express myself in this topic, but I will finish here until I find something new pointed out by someone, or until someone brings any question forth to what I've said so far.

I really hope that doesn't happen. I don't think I want to be 'gone'. I mean, we must be intelligent beings for a reason, right? Something must've put us on Earth with intelligence for a reason, and we just need to follow that.
As do I...I mean, I'm sure none of us want death to be the end of our lives as we know it. Unfortunately, that's the only thing that really makes sense in my mind.

That means life has no meaning.WRONG!!!

When you die,its waiting till the day will come and your soul will be taken to either heaven or hell,God choose where you deserve to go.

Ofcourse non of you belive me,but if you read the Qu'ran you will know.

=/ This is one of those things that make my stomach turn at night, when I have nothing else to think about. It makes me queasy, thinking there may be nothing after death. I mean... blank emptiness forever and ever? It's mind-numbing to think about. I really hope there's something after death, but then what happens when the trumpets sound and time ends? What then? Will whatever afterlife there is stop with it?

*shakes head* It's one of the few things that really gets under my skin. I am not religious, but I'm not an atheist either. I believe in the Big Bang and evolution. But I think something had to create that small grain of extremely dense matter before the Big Bang. Maybe it didn't expect it to BOOM, but it did. Maybe it guided evolution. But we just won't know, will we? We can only believe.

... But I'm getting off-topic. What do I believe happens after death? I honestly can't even begin to guess. I know (or hope) that those that did well with their time will be rewarded with a peaceful afterlife, and those that did badly will be punished unless whatever divinity there is deems them worthy of forgiveness. We can only see for ourselves, eventually, and maybe then we won't even know it ourselves exactly what happened. But I can't wrap my head around it, really, because it scares me to think about these sort of things.

But, to be a ghost would be fun, I think. xD I wouldn't mind reincarnation either; I half-believe in karma, so it'd be interesting to see what I end up coming back as...

This is one of the big questions every one has on their mind at some point.

What does happen after you die.

Well, no one can know!
People who have died clame to say they have seen different things, felt different things.

I spoke to someone near me who was killed for less than a minute in a car crash. He is fine now, if you wanted to know!
He told me that it was something he couldn't describe, however, he felt different.
One word that stuck in my mind was when he said he felt "Lighter."

It was very interesting listening to what he had to say. As much as it is a horrid topic, I find it interesting and I do wonder what is after life.

As a Cristian, a part of me believes that I will go to Heaven or Hell. But, I am very Scientific in my thinking. Strange I know, but that is how I think. The other part of me thinks that nothing is there, darkness and an endless sleep. I would rather it not be the latter. Not knowing is one of life's mysteries.

No one can be sure till the end of their life...

After you die, whatever you believe will happen will happen.

So if you believe in going to heaven, you go to heaven. If you believe you go to hell, you go to hell.

If you don't believe that anything happens, you are screwed.

To those who are afraid of nothing being there after death - read the last post that I made.
You may feel better after reading that, maybe.

What I'm going to tell now is true.
All the people I know who I've met the day just before their death had some special, unexplainable feeling they had, and I could feel an aura that is otherworldly too.
They were more than 5 people, and all of them knew that they're going to die very, very soon.
They even said they could see strange things floating around in their minds and imaginations which never did before, and they all knew what those were signalling.

your mind creates psychosematic energy that is powerful enough to engrave and imprint of yourself into the very fabric of space...the imprint of you can be seen at night by people with high psychic energy...and if you died with strong enough emotions you can effect the real world around you and even interact with the living....
course that is just my theory anyway...

You'll feel exactly how you felt before you were born.

So nothing happens. Of course, you can believe whatever you want to believe. I'll be happy knowing this is the only life I'm going to get, and so I'm going to try to make the most of this life, instead of hoping for another. You shouldn't be afraid of death, it happens to everyone.

I believe, that the only way I will know what happens after death is when I die, say, fifty or sixty years from now.

No, I do not. I am an atheist. Don't get me wrong, I gave Chritianity a fair chance so it's not like I only know one side of the story. I've actually attended sunday school for years (what a waste of my time). Honestly, if there was a god, why would so many people be miserable? Starving?

My thoughts exactly. However, I really don't think we should be straying off into a religious discussion here...
"Not only do I not know what's going on, I wouldn't know what to do about it if I did."
"The reason I talk to myself is that I'm the only one whose answers I accept."

It's hard to answer this question without going into the "does God exist" debate, but I'll do what I can.

Everything in the universe is conserved, nothing is truly created or destroyed- it just changes form. The only exception to this was the creation of the universe, when something that could exist outside the boundaries of time, space, and matter created time, space, and matter.

Since consciousness is a phenomena observed in the natural world, it follows the same laws as everything else: after death, it is conserved, but changes form. In a sense, this is like reincarnation: the forces that made up your thoughts/personality/"soul" are released into the environment, where they can become part of anything (or anyone) else.

This is to prove to people that Cristians aren't Shuckles with 700 base HP.
I think that if Christianity is true, (based on proof and popularity, about 70%) You probably get to choose to: (become a spirit and hang with people as a ghost, lol) (Get transported in time to the Great White Judgement) or ( are Reincarnated over and over again until Armageddon.
I'm serious.
At Puerto Rico, I was in the middle of a rainforest and I recognized every single strand of bamboo.
Huh.
Oh, the miniplanet deal, is really, wow,-lonely-?-like, but I think that the houses are made of gold and stuff.
Yeah.
EDIT: Ok, I talked to this Ghost slash demon that claimed he was George Washington. I said he must've been kidding but he persuaded me. sooooooo I talked to him about dying. he told me the same thing I believe. And he also told me that being a ghost is just like being an angel on earth but you don't get swatted whenever you enter peoples brains and mess with their retinas. I'm pretty sure he wasn't Mr.G. But he claimed to be. *shrugs*
EDITEDIT: Arggghh. someone bad-repped this post and said "fail."

Hevan/hell?

Or you get reincarnated as an animal and live your life like that.

But like the Hindus(I think), I believe your soul gets reincarnated in a different body. Wether it be human or animal. But it depends on karma and wanting things, as opposed to needing things.
