Poll: What happens after death?

[ace_of_something]

interesting how usually atheists compose of about 75% of the 'what religion are you' polls that come up every month yet here we only have 55% that believe in nothigness. (at least at this point)

Anywho, heaven and hell for me. If I justify it in any way people will come out of the woodwork to argue against me and point out the folly of my foolish smallminded ways. So I'll just state it.

You reincarnate as another human being with no memories, completely at random. At least, that's what I believe. It only makes sense that life would go on after you're gone and new babies are born all the time...

According to death and born.it unlikely because deaths are more common than a birth.OR... some people reincarnate and some just see blackout

 

[Doomdiver]

Same thing that happened before you were conceived. What is that? No idea. I tend not to think about my death too much!

 

[Bluebacon]

Oblivion, hopefully. Even heaven would get dull after an eternity. Reincarnation would be pretty cool though. I'd be a tiger!

 

[ssgt splatter]

Stay on Earth as a ghost and walk amongst the living and scare the hell out of them whenever you're bored...which will be all the time.

You go back to whence you came

Does that mean I have to go back to London?

Anyway, I'm neutral in arguements like this, but if I had to pick something or die and find out, I'd go with nothingness.

 

[quack35]

Don't know.

Hopefully Heaven, but maybe reincarnation would be cool?

in response to Pascal's Wager, it is an incredibly flawed system... surely it could also be possible that when you die you'll be given buckets of ice cream and become the king/queen of the universe provided that you never left your bedroom on weekends... but I'm not going to stay in my bedroom over weekends just incase I get buckets of icecream and such when I die

 

[H.R.Shovenstuff]

NOTHING!

 

[this_was_a_mistake]

Purgatory.

 

[Redingold]

I'd like to be reincarnated, but I know it isn't going to happen.

 

[BaldursBananaSoap]

When you die. You're spirit boards the Cole train and you are taken to fraggle rock to dance your cares away for eternity.

 

[Fingerprint]

Well your skin will shrink due to lack of moisture, bacteria will start to decompose your body and well thats about it.

 

[ShadeOfRed]

I think after-death is like pre-birth, just a state of complete unawareness. So, nothing.

 

[Zombie Badger]

As fun as reincarnation would be, I can't believe that there is anything after death, being a nihilistic atheist (the altruisic because there is no purpose for existence so we should be nice to each other sort of nihilist, not the killing spree kind).

 

[Iron Criterion]

Well I'm going to Valhalla!!!
Either that or we will all just die and serve as entertainment for the community wierdo lol

 

[xXGeckoXx]

Yawn....Yiou go to sleep....you don't wake up.....and it most likely will hurt like hell...

 

[Chipperz]

Speaking as someone who's recently been bereaved(sp?), a lot of what's kept me going is a concept of a positive afterlife.

Personally, I think my gran would be happiest in Valhalla, where she could kick the shit out of people who swear near her for the rest of eternity, but she was Catholic, so I guess that means she'll just go to Heaven

I know this topic may have been done before so kepp your flaming to yourselves, thx.

Then why in the name of anything holy do you insist on making a new one?? It's ridiculous? What is wrong with you people?

Yes, this has [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.68107#619207]been made before! [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.112452?page=1] And if you know it why - why are you not just ckecking the results from the allready made ones? Jesus! It makes no sense! Why are you people doing this? I mean the first one is even exactly the same as the one you just made!

Same thing that happened before you were conceived. What is that? No idea. I tend not to think about my death too much!

This. I think it'll be pretty much the same. The life is like an interruption of that nothingness

And I actually don't like to think about death myself, since when I do - I get dizzy. No idea why.

Yawn....Yiou go to sleep....you don't wake up.....and it most likely will hurt like hell...

How? I mean you're dead. It can't hurt when you've left all your nerves, can it?
