Poll: What happens after death?

[Fraught]

If we could get BioShock 5 in heaven, then heaven would be awesome. And I say so stupid things, because all of what anyone can say about this, has already been said.

 

[Ambarato]

For me I believe that when we die, there isn't anything so death is equal. It's not like your floating in a void forever, though you technically are. It's like a dream you don't remember, or how when time passes but you don't notice it.

Also, I kind of thinks sometimes that perhaps everyone is the same person, born in different circumstances. It's the people you meet and circumstances that you are in which change who you are. That's what makes this viable, although personally I don't think it's true.

lets think abou this liek scientist. well get interns to kill them selves though various amazign mathod like being thorwn in the black holes and the like. Then we wait for the to re apper as ghost or crazy glowing balls of light. And if they dont back then well no that nothing happens.

we wake up and find a bunch of aliens laughing at us.

 

[Jerakal]

Whatever we want, I like the idea that when we die we go wherever we want to go, be it heaven, hell, or something in between.

It's a lot less depressing than obliteration or nothingness, and a lot less constricting then the organized religion thing.

This? [http://whatyouseewhenyoudie.ytmnd.com/]

Seriously, though. I rather like the idea of reincarnation. It makes you feel like your actions matter in the end because you WILL be there to see the consequences, just not in the same body. So, it's good to be nice to the earth since you'll be there when it turns to shit.

What happens when you unplug a computer?

Why should a person be any different?

 

[scoHish]

I always figured, that it can't just be black and full of nothing... I'm not religious by any means, but if I had to honestly say what I thought happened, it would be somthing like reincarnation. I'm thinking, that as soon as you die, your born as someone else with a clean slate. Seems kinda out there, but that's just always how I pictured it.

 

[s0denone]

I don't believe in anything. Or like they say, agnostic. What if Buddha really exists? I can be a Christian, because the biggest religion is christian, but what happens if Buddhism is really right? Or Islam? Then I'm fucked. I am just going to wait until I'm dead, and if Buddha really exists, then I'm fucked. If Heaven and Hell exists, then I'm pretty much fucked too.

That doesn't really sound like agnosticism, excuse me

More like atheism.

 

[Becoming Insane]

despite being an atheist/agnostic, I would hate it just to... stop.
I would far rather come back as something crap as a fly rather than life just to stop.

I agree, being a self-considered Jewish Agnostic myself. Though I also think that what Terry Pratchett writes may also be true: Whatever we expect to happen, happens. I.e., those who believe in an afterlife go there, those who believe in reincarnation reincarnate, and those who aren't sure have too make a decision. He aslo writes that only those who really believe they deserve to go to Hell go there.

 

[The Iron Ninja]

Honestly I don't know, how could anyone? but I agree with someone who said earlier that they thought it would be like before you were born, just nothingness. You wouldn't remember, you wouldn't think, you wouldn't be.
And on a lighter note If there does turn out to be a heaven or what have you then I hope whichever god is really the one and only god is fair enough that even though I am an atheist, the fact that I never, murdered, raped or was prejudiced towards someone simply because they had a different sex, race or belief system to me is enough to qualify me as "a good egg" in gods eyes. And if not, then thats not the kind of god I want to beleive in anyway (so I guess I'd be sitting in hell with my fngers in my ears and my eyes closed going "nope, I don't beleive in it so it ain't happening to me")

You drift around as a ghost until you resolve your anchors, and then you get bored with your unlife and use the Claim Numen to take over an infant. Thing is, an infant has Mental Attributes of zero, so your mind gets wiped when you do that.

No ones knows, anyone saying they do is either on drugs, deluded, lying or an idiot.

As for Heaven, Hell & Reincarnation, anything that was created without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.

 

[Evil_Valentine_Marshmallow]

what happens after death?

It's whatever you want believe in, but that's just me.

 

[Aries_Split]

I like to believe we get to choose what we are reincarnated as, and when. For instance, say I wanted to be reincarnated as Dolly Rudder. I would be reborn as Dolly Rudder back in 1945.

 

[Fangface74]

hopefully the brain deteriorates at the rate of the golden ratio allowing for the illusion of a seemingly endless lucid hallucination.

That's one of the nicest theories I've ever heard,

Sir, I wish to subscribe to your newsletter, let us celebrate our new arrangement with the coming together of chocolate & milk!

 

[GuerrillaClock]

It'd be really nice if there was a heaven, I definitely hope there is something after death... however I can't really see it.

 

[John Galt]

This thread has been done to death but what the hell.

I don't think anything special happens. There's no real reason we have to believe there is an afterlife. As far as I'm concerned, the only way I can experience 'reality' is because of chemical processes going off in my noggin. When I'm under the influence of drugs like caffeine that alter those processes, I can feel my perception of reality changing. Therefore, I conclude that once the chemical processes stop, I would cease to exist as a person.

 

[Simski]

I remember someone being asked this.
He replied "How did it feel to not yet be born?".
This is how I think death will be, we will simply not be aware of anything.
Like a nights sleep without dreaming, only you never wake up, and you'll never be aware that you've gone to sleep.
We won't exist anymore, and you'll be blissfully unaware of this fact.

This really is nothing to fear, personally I'm looking forward to my eternal resting.
People have a nasty tendency of waking me up in the morning :/

I would try frantically to load to a previous save, and avoid what kills me.
