Poll: Hell or a total void of nothingness without conciousness or feeling of existence?Which do you prefer

[Nazulu]

At some point I will get sick of living so Nothingness for me.

 

[e2density]

I'd love to live in nothingness.

Lois Griffin: So, Peter, where shall we go for your week off?
Peter Griffin: Well, I... I was thinking we could all go to Purgatory like we did last year!
[it switches to the Griffins floating in front of a plain white background]
Lois Griffin: This isn't bad... it's not that good, but y'know... it's not that bad.
Brian Griffin: It's so-so.
Peter Griffin: Yeah... more or less...

 

[Jark212]

Hell, I'd own that place in a month...

 

[Ghonzor]

Meh, if I were religious, some arbitrary biblical...thing...or another would peg me for hell. Most other religions (basically) say that if you do not believe as they do, you end up in hell.

I'll take nothingness over an eternity of whatever hell may be.

Psst... A common interpretation of hell IS non-existence.

Wait wha..*bzzt*..*crackle*..*whiz*....

I think the bible says that upon the apocalypse all the souls in hell we go to heaven so it wouldn't be for ever.

 

[PhunkyPhazon]

Nothingness, since we've all been there before anyways. (Remember the time before you were born?)

Nothingness easily. The real kicker would be a total void _with_ conciousness.

Disagree, that would blow. Having a consciousness but not being able to DO anything? May as well send me to hell.

 

[DanDeFool]

I'd pick oblivion any day.

Think about it; you were in oblivion before you were born. Was it all that bad? Of course not! Neither was it good. It's just nonexistence.

Personally, I see it as complete freedom; being forever released from the endless pursuit of happiness, no longer burdened by the cares and worries associated with living (in this life or in any hypothetical afterlife).

To compare oblivion to Hell is like comparing zero to negative infinity. Zero is always greater than negative infinity.

i'd rather go to morrowind though.

...That was awful. I love it. XD

 

[NeuroticMarshmallow]

Nothingness. I personally would rather completely conk out rather then having to burn in hell and suffer pain for the rest of time.

The real kicker would be a total void _with_ conciousness

now THAT has always scared the crap out of me.

 

[Tucker154]

I would choose hell because living in nothingness,you are nothing.Not being able to think or feel would make your exist as a person useless.Anyone who would choose nothingness would be just another obstical in my way that a need to walk arould to go to where I am going,thats it.I realize why someone would choose that,because they are scared.Scared of what hell would be like.A place where you would only feel pain.Pain.

But in my eyes,pain IS WHY I would choose hell.At least if I were to feel pain,I would know that I am something.That I was not just something taking space in a small world,but something that did something.

So between those choices,hell or nothingness,I dont see hell as,well,hell.But heaven.Heaen of somethingness.

 

[the Revenator]

Could we have comical descriptions of each of the two options, to give this thread some pizazz?

yay

 

[NoNameMcgee]

Nothingness of course.

Why the fuck would I rather burn in eternal agony rather than just cease to exist?

If I cease to exist, I won't know I don't exist, I just. Wont. I won't be there anymore, just like before I was born. There's merely nothing.

That's a hard concept for some people to grasp (for some reason) but it's what I believe and I don't find it even remotely scary. I don't fear death at all because I know once I'm dead, there will be nothing left of me to feel anything. So I ain't going to regret it or wish I was alive am I?

 

[Necrofudge]

A Nothingness afterlife just scares me shitless even more than Hell does. You won't even know your dead after you die. You're just gone. Completely erased from existence. If you get shot in the head suddenly, you won't even know that it happened. Just...blank.

That is good that it scares you. It makes this life more worthwhile instead of just being viewed as a bus stop for the next life.

 

[NoNameMcgee]

Yeaah.. If the only thing you could feel was pain for eternity I highly doubt you would take that over simply feeling nothing.

See that's why people who are suffering (in the real world) want the option of euthanasia, because they would rather not exist anymore than be in pain.

Anyone who honestly thinks a hell would be better than not existing are merely deluding themselves or don't grasp the concept of really not existing at all.

[MiracleOfSound]

Void: Calm

Hell: Better tunes

 

[Kriptonite]

Eternal nothingness. It's like sleep, only there's no asshole alarm to wake you up and tell you to go to school. (And nothing else.)

Nonexistence. At least I won't know about it.

So, burn in agony for all eternity and damnation without relief vs. nothing at all, which I can't even see/feel/sense/interact with or any other form of awareness. Nr. 2 for me... Why would I want to suffer when there is an option?

I have to start getting to threads earlier. These darn ninjas all over the place stealing the words from my mouth. But in case you haven't guessed, nothingness for me please.

 

[Crystal Cuckoo]

Can I assume nothingness is the same as unconsciousness?

'Cause then I wouldn't even know that I would be dead. It'd be like a constant dreamless sleep.

I can live with that.
