I honestly don't know. Reincarnation, heaven/hell, life as a ghost, or the end of my existence, it could be any of these, or something else I haven't thought of. But really, I don't think I care.

Sure, I hope that there is something, but I know nothing. So I honestly don't see the point in believing one way or the other. If I think there's an afterlife and there isn't, does it even matter what I ever thought? And if I think there isn't one and I turn out to be right, I won't even get the chance to say "Booyeah, I win!" because hey, I'll be dead. But if there is one, regardless of what I believe, my future therein should depend on not whether I believed, but on how I lived. I intend to live just fine, while not caring about said afterlife(or lack thereof) until I find myself on my deathbed. xD

And on another note, I know we're all thinking about death of the physical person. But I'd like to think that there are other parts of us which remain alive even after our bodies deteriorate. For instance, if I were to drop dead right now, all of my friends and family would still remember me, keeping me alive in their hearts. So really, I think you are only truly dead if you are forgotten. ^^

EDIT: Nice big psychological post beist my 2100th. Awesome, lulz.

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.

Either God is testing them or punishing them. If God is testing those people, He wants to see their reaction. Will they curse God? Will they still believe in Him or will they reject His message? Every pain on Earth is from God. He is using these pains to relieve us of our sins, not because He is careless.

You know, I went through a phase like that. I was really angry at my life. I wondered why I could be miserable. Then I started to become more religious and attempt to find out why God would allow these things to happen to people. Turns out He wants them to happen.

Believe whatever you want to believe. Not my problem.

Back on topic. I believe that when we die, a series of events will happen. According to my religion, Islam, two angels will visit you when you die. They will ask you three questions: Who is your Lord? Who is your Prophet? What is your religion? You will answer these questions according to how you lived your life.

After that, your soul will be transported to another world while your body is left to rot on Earth. In this world, you are either punished or rewarded depending on your deeds on Earth.

Things will continue in that world until the Day of Judgment, when everyone is judged on what they did in their life. The people who need to be punished will suffer in Hellfire, while the good people will live in Paradise forever...

I hope this is correct because I don't want to die and live for nothing.

Not that I'm not an optimistic individual or anything...But I'm not holding out much hope on there being any significant happenings after we die. I mean, if you think about it, each of us didn't exist until we were conceived. Our concept of life and time didn't begin until we were born. So, what happens before conception? We're obviously not self aware because there is an absence of life. Time for us begins at conception, even though time has been going on long before that happens. I think the same idea applies to death. Once we die, our "selves", in terms of our thoughts and self-awareness, cease to exist, because our brains have obviously stopped working. So essentially, with death comes a loss of our sense of being, which I would equate to the state of not being conceived yet. When we're gone, there's nothing to rationalize or think about...we're simply gone.

I feel like I could have explained that better =/

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.

You are either
a) reincarnated
b) sent into heaven where you are sent to your own personal mini planet where everything is how you want it and such.

Why would someone be sent to heaven when they are bad? Why would someone be given the joy of life if they were bad? I think sinful people go to hell because they deserve it. Even I'm no perfect person, but I believe God is forgiving.

 

[Ivysaur]

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.

 

[pokerus34]

I just keep myself good at all times... Who knows what might happen...

We have different religions, so we have different beliefs.

Just stick with your belief and follow what your God/the High Authority says...

But for now, I'll just stick with the living! :D

This.

What else can we say?

 

[>Feelings<]

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.

 

[Aurafire]

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.

 

[AuraAshley]

honestly this topic sorta gets meh thinking. IM afraid of death, its a huge phobia of mine. a second fear of mine is that when you die, you just die and nothing happens and you rot in the ground.

 

[Spinosaurus]

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.

 

[Suki]

I believe we reincarnate as new humans! Yeahh.. or become ghosts :]

 

[kingofjokers]

no one knows if we really do go to heaven or hell but we can guess

 

[Lana.]

=/ 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...

 

[Captain Fabio]

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...

 

[Spinor]

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.

 

[Rogue planet]

I believe that I will travel back in time.
Seriously though, I don't think there is anything after death. It's just the end of your life, nothing special happens.

 

[>Feelings<]

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.

 

[ShadowLeader]

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...

 

[Cheesymitten]

Mmm.
I've come up with man guesses, and right now it is, we are all somewhere else, a world much like this, we start agan, andwe all know who we are ect ect.
Or we my just die. That's my theory =3

 

[Graceful]

Well I want to live again but under a different name and everything or live as a animal.....which may seem a little strange but hey! It's cool!
