What happens when you die?

What do you believe happens when you die?

 

[AuronKae]

I don't know for sure if there's an after-life or not. I'd like to think in terms of reincarnation, but I don't think I'd ever have my hopes up. It might just be like falling asleep after a very, very long day.

 

[pjbleek]

although I really want to believe in the here and there after.....sad to say....
nope...no after-life.
all those stories of ghosts and people being showed the "way"
all a farce....
and as George Carlin used to say....
Imagine if you knew when you were going to die....
you would get this voice in your head...Two minute warning!!!
......you would make it a point to say goodbye to everyone that you knew and then if they didn't believe you tell them that God would strike you down and kill you....
POOF!
only you and he would know the truth!

I voted other...I'm sort of on the same line as what Valentin said, only I think we just become apart of everything...we are after all, just energy.

 

[Obdurate]

Well I believe in heaven and hell.

But I'd like to prove -- without a shadow of a doubt -- that God exists and he's American.

We can all remember the partying, family life and generally having a great time before we were born right.....well that’s what it’s like when you’re dead.

The same thing you were B4 u existed. ............ You dont exist. Didnt have a spirit B4, nor after. Dust you came from, dust you'll return. (something the bible is actually right about)

 

[Dana]

i believe in various things

 

[Mase]

When you die, your brain stops working, then your body starts to rot.

That's something guaranteed to happen to your physical self. Not sure about afterlife or reincarnation though.

 

[MMMMatilde]

I personally can't pick any, because until it happens, I have no real beliefs as to what happens.

For all I know I could turn into a goldfish, or I could be burnt to ashes and be floating through the sea till i dissolve and that is it.


Until there is FACTUAL proof of either, then I'm undecided.

I believe there is an after life... but i think it arose organically like the Universe did during the big bang. There is no god or ruler, there is no intelligence governing entry, so everyone goes there. There are not two different places for those who lived "good" lives and those who lived "bad", since good and bad is subjective... and without a governing intelligence the distinction cannot be made.

A pretty sound Agnostic statement and I agree with it, however I would not 100% discount the possibility of some intelligent entity, as I'm a classic fence sitter. But I lean towards the "beyond our comprehension" because we just don't know. I chose "other" and I was somewhat surprised by the strong Atheist showing in the poll.

Why did I think the Bush Administration subliminal indoctrination transmitter was not effective??

worms eat you....

 

[teh_fuzz]

lets see:
your heart stops beating
your blood flow ceases
your muscles tense up

A. After a few days the gasses in your body start to bloat you up
B. You get a autopsy

you get enblamed
You get a nice case
You get a pimp suit with a clip on tie
everyone wears make up
you get to chill with some flowers and people staring at you
you get put @6ft underground
with time you become worm food, or you decay, thus wasting a nice suit, a nice case, and that pimp clip on tie.

Oh and everyone fights for your shit.

You go to DISNEY WORLD!

Can you each tell me how you know this is true, please?

Have you read Watchmen?

 

[Minor Axis]

Have you read Watchmen?

Not yet. Is it good? I have my doubts about the graphic novel being made into a movie as I am very picky about movies created entirely on an indoor set, like "300". If they are too stylized it turns me off.

how do the worm infilrate the box? :unsure:

 

[silentbob]

you stop living.

Ah, I just didn't know if you got the Watchmen reference or not in my first post here.

It's very good. Greatest graphic novel ever... could be my favourite book but I'm not sure.
Well 300 wasn't that great, but for what it's worth, the movie is apparently going to stay pretty close to the source material (but then again, didn't 300?), including keeping the graphic novel ending, and the trailer was fantastic and everything looks to be okay so I have very high hopes for it.
