What happens after you die?

[roulette]

how unfair is it, just thinking of death is weird. man i don't wanna die i wanna live
maybe its non stop dreaming but if its all black you wouldn't know because you have no imagination :@:S
but this is always on my mind.

When you die...You're dead..

I guess if you're buried you'll decompose over time after dying, maggots will do what maggots do and you'll be a pile of bones in a big box at the end of it

and your proof of no after life?

and your proof of no after life?

You can't prove an "after life" isn't there, but you can't prove it is either, no good turning this into a debate since without proof the only sure thing is when you die, you're dead, it will never be possible to prove what really happens

again I follow my religion; this my choice and my belief nobody has to believe in what anyone says

Lucia then asked if they would go to heaven and she was told yes, she and Jacinta would go to heaven, but Francisco would need to say many rosaries first.

She responded, "I do not promise to make you happy in this life, but in the next."

You come from nothing, you go back to nothing, you loose nothing.

Although I would like to live on into Heaven or something, Im a confirmed Christian so ye.

I think you go to Heaven and lead your perfect life, be with the people you want to be with etc...

I want to get either buried in a Church or cremated and made into a diamond and put on a ring.

To the people who keep saying "you cannot disprove the afterlife, thus it is possible" is a little flawed idea.
You cannot disprove fairies, giant dragons which breathe fire, there's always a chance that they could be about, but the chance is insanely minute. Thus using that reasoning that just because it cannot be disproved gives it some merit, I could start believing in [as Dawkins often states] : the flying spaghetti monster, you cannot disprove him, may his tomato and pasta righteousness be swift and tasty!

As for the actual subject.. you cannot rebuke the afterlife- but the chances of it to be "there" seem to be quite minimal, it seems to be wishful thinking, one of the beauties of our lives is that it's so short, and we have to enjoy each drop of life we have and cherish that. An afterlife filled with endless time, endless opportunity to fullfil every ambition, desire, pleasure surely would become stale after a time?

Alas, maybe I'm wrong, and maybe I'm not, I've got to admit it would be very interesting to talk to a "creator" or "higher being" and ask them about all the beauties of the universe and how It actually decided to spontaneously create said universe.

No, they thought it was a sphere. Terry Jones, who is something of a medievalist blames Washington Irving, the American writer, for one of those beings who started this "lie", as he puts it. The Greeks knew it was round, Chaucer knew it was round; Roger Bacon wrote about the curvature in the earth in the 13th century.

Since the 4th century B.C., almost no one in the world has believed that the earth is flat. It's a common misconception, and indeed, the song lyric: "They all laughed at Christopher Columbus when he said the world was round." But he didn't think that the world was round; he thought it was actually pear-shaped, funnily enough.

Evidence showed that the world was flat. That was because no one ventured deep enough into the investigation and people followed only one belief.

Only until the investigation was then actually given more evidence. The world was round.

So; you can never ever say something is 100%.
If we assumed we knew everything, why are there scientists these days. Statements change every day and so there is no one on a certain thing.

You can have evidence for an unfair test. Can you not?

xoxoxooxox

Oh;
And also on the fact that it's never a secured debate - it is "Who knows". No scientists would ever touch the topic because there's no way of proving it.

Nothing.

This thread reminds me of this image.

Quite fitting!
and i read your signiture on a packet of rizla earlier

Why must?

We are just a heightened form of animal with better instincts and more intelligence but that doesnt mean that we differ from them anyway when we die. I dont believe in any religion, they are all made by men who want power and who forgot themselves that they will actually die and wont be able to take any of it with them.

Anyone can start a religion these days, look at Hubbard who wrote a book that had a fake religion called Scientology in it and even he said it wasnt intended to be serious, but what does everyone do? Its laughable and I feel slightly pitiful for people who drag their tired *** out of bed on a sunday morning to sit and listen to some old guy dictate their lives and basically give them a proverbial slap on the wrist for being "sinful"

Then again lets remember those deeply religious priests who molest young choir boys, but then God forgives them doesnt he :eusa_clap I respect everyone for having a view or a faith to believe in but Id rather have everyone just believe in themselves than putting their faith in a symbol noone alive today has even seen.

but didnt u no all dogs go to heaven

Nothing happens its very simple. And just because that answer isn't comforting or nice it doesn't have an impact on the truth of it. We have no reason to suppose their is life after death and our wish for it is just proof of our child like fear of that which we don't know.

Its liberating to know this is all you have, this is your one chance to do something and live, religion takes that impetus to live away with promises of eternal life.

But we dont know that? You can get all the bits to make a man, u can get all the right cells, right parts... all the stuff you can see but u could never make a human, or an animal for that matter cos thers this part that u cant see, cant hold or touch (what some people call the soul) the question is, where does that come from? where does it go after your body has decomposed and become maggot food?
when u destroy something, whever its burning it, breaking it, whatever, the parts all end up somewhere.
everything is made up of some sort of energy or something and that cant be completely gotten rid of. so what is a soul made of?

there is no 100% evidence that there is no spirits or ghosts?

there are physic's and mediums out there you cannot say they all imagine it.

and people can claim its obvious what happens after death but truth is you dont & you wont know until you die.

i think its nice to think there is something after our lives otherwise it would make death seem so much worse

Got to admit iv read some pretty freaky stuff about physcics being used in murder cases and being able to solve them!

There is a difference between fantasy and religion

I'm pretty sure you don't take a GCSE in fantasy
