Death?

Nobody knows what happens after death because obviously, there haven't been any witnesses who've come back to tell the tale.

It's an age-old question that no one can answer and jogs many humans' minds. I believe in Heaven, and I believe in a Hell focused on our phobias as punishment. I believe we all have unique souls within our bodies who "escape" after our physical being dies. There are some who believe differently, and might even say that religion teaches this to "make people feel more comfortable with death", but I actually find that having a soul makes more sense than not having one at all. We can't just die and not exist anymore. That doesn't make sense to me.

People will think and ask themselves "what happens after death?" many times in life. We're all curious, but no one can ever know until they really do die.

There have been people who have died and had doctors bring them back to life. They all speak of practically the same thing.

Death is a weird topic. I guess the best way to deal with it is live a life you're happy with, and strive to be your best.

Those people were technically dead by medical standards, but I'm talking about the "you can't reviv'em" people. If you can revive someone from death, then I don't count them as 100% dead. There's still hope for them, so they aren't really "dead", if you get what I mean.

Even then, the people who do come back from their "dead" state speak of a white light. One man even said he saw someone and spoke to him about something that was sworn to secrecy. When he was revived, he couldn't remember anything the man had told him - just that there was a man who talked to him.

I read that in the newspaper anyway.

Even if there's hope for them, they're dead. If your heart physically stops and you have no pulse, you're dead. It doesn't matter if you're being revived or not.
 
Actually, real death occurs when there is no pulse and no brain activity. Technically, the brain is still alive even without pulse, but it's dying. You are dead when the brain completely shuts down and no body functions can be continued.

If you revive a person while the brain is still active, the brain-heart dependance cycle can continue and the person's body functions continue. The body functions just stop on cardiac arrest. Once the brain goes, then you're gone for sure.

How would I know this?... oh come on. :P
 
Well, death is a special thing. We see it as something horrendous, but nobody wants to live forever. I had thoughts about suicide at one point because I noticed I am no more than just a slave in a world where no true freedoms exist living under the monetary existence that is currency, but I changed my mind. I enjoy life to the fullest and I do not believe that death can stop it. I die. It happens, who knows what may happen after?

(Or maybe I get revived :P)

apart from that..
the more you think about death, the more confused you get. and then it becomes scary
or at least that's how it is with me..
 
Everyone has to die. After they die, everyone goes to heaven, because everyone almost always thinks they are right. To prevent overcrowding in heaven, we get reborn again as who-knows-what.
 
i love how people smugly barge in here and tell people what's going to happen when they die as if they're certain.

Those who've accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour go to Heaven, eternal happiness, when they die, and those who don't go to Hell, eternal suffering and damnation.

sounds a bit like an abusive relationship between god and his people, does it not? lets start looking past the 'answers' our parents fed us and do some critical thinking for ourselves.

Death is nothing to laught at.

why not? if you can't laugh at the painful truths, life can get pretty miserable for you.
 
Are you really any different? Waltzing in here and telling us that our beliefs are pure fairytales that out parents fed us? Get outta here with that ********. You're no better than anyone else. I know what happens after death. I don't see you helping anything.

waltzing, more graceful than your barging. please point out where i said your beliefs were wrong. you're the one asserting how right you are.
 
HAY GUIZE

Death's kind of awesome. There's so much crap you can't do in real life, but I still kinda miss Earth. Although things are kind of the suck down there so I'm probably going to just hang around here before I resurrect myself, lol
 
Ok, I know death has much to do with religion, but Izanagi, that's sort of pushing it. Have you thought about other religions that are isolated and forced to never hear about Jesus's word. Do they go to hell? That is, if that is the case of afterlife. Because truth is nobody know for real what happens in death.

All we have is science to explain the phenomenon. As I said in my poor banned alternated (XD) You don't really die until your brain activity terminates. After that it's all pure mystery.
 
Just posting my view on it froma a Christian stand point. Didn't expect for everyone to just fall in line. I don't know about isolated people. I'd think that if you've never heard of Jesus Christ you would be given grace, sort of like a child who cannot understand would, or God would send someone to spread the Gospel. Again, this is from a Christian standing point.
