Do you believe in a post-life?

Anatoly · 2016-10-05 17:21:14

Do you believe in life after death?

In my mind, i do not, because imagining we are normal animals with intelects, we will just stop existing, you won't notice anything and the souls do not exist. I only hope, to have my own dimension after dead.

Zoey2070 · 2016-10-05 17:22:03

i agree. we die and that's it. all our thoughts, motives, and dreams just stop existing with nothing to remain as soon as we die.

I see no reason to believe that anything else happens.

I kinda do, because I believe we don't die when we die. I don't think we go to heaven or anything like that, I just think we kinda get out of this illusion of life to either another illusion or the place which is causing the illusion.

Also if we really were to die, I do believe that we will born again after time. Reason for this is that when we're dead, we do not sense anything, including time. In other words, an unlimited amount of time passes when we're dead without us even noticing. During that unlimited amount of time, unlimited amount of things happen, most likely including us getting alive again. Do not ask me to explain how one can come back from the death, because I have no idea, but I think with time some life form will understand more about human minds than we do at the moment, and thus they will be able to bring human minds back.

I wish I knew how to make these sectences sound more clear...

shadowda · 2016-10-05 21:46:14

I don't believe in life after death. Us being biological mechanisms, when you die, that's it.

Though if i did believe in a post life, i would expect it to be some sort of isolated pure mental existence. A world created by ones own mind unattached to reality. like a lucid dream or existence with in ones own consciousness never again able to return to reality. though that's insane.

skullz17 · 2016-10-05 22:16:06

I don't know. I don't see any reason why there should be, nor why there shouldn't be. However, I don't believe in heaven or hell because I don't believe in god.

if you would believe such a thing, i guess go with it? i'm not going to ridicule your beliefs.

on the other hand, the majority of people believe humans are indeed animals, as we evolved from monkeys, and are considered primates

if monkeys are primates, and we came from monkeys, then humans are primates, and humans are animals

That religious. And i don't got a religion, i' trust in God but there is a lot of "different category of Christians". For me, we descenting from Adam and Eve.

And by the way, i' trust (of course) in a second-life after death, but.. i don't know if i can talk about this here.. So if you want to know (from my knowing), i can answer by pm.

wait, you do not have a religion but you "trust in god", and believe in "Adam and Eve".

also this is the place for the after life, so please, i would like to hear your thoughts

BuzzerBee · 2016-10-05 23:05:42

When I was a Christian™ I did, but now I have turned cynical and no longer believe in God and I don't think anything happens after death besides decomposition.

Swarth100 · 2016-10-05 23:44:23

I personally believe in God and in life after death.

I am Roman Catholic, and by no means do I agree with the nonesense a lot of Christians go telling around.

There is no Adam and Eve, just as there was no great flood, and neither is the Earth 6000 years old. Religion and Science, I believe, just as many philosophers do, must be kept distinct.

Religion has absolutely no say in the scientific field (no sane person would deny evolution tbh), but neither can science have a say in the religious field. The existence of God, or of the soul, cannot really be prooven, nor denied, using any scientific method. People would thus be equally correct in believing in them or not... That's why it's called "faith" afterall!

iPwner · 2016-10-06 00:15:13

This whole "you decompose" thing doesn't really make sense... sure your BODY will decompose, but your consciousness will likely just float astray~ That just doesn't make sense. Unless you're literally a zombie on earth, wandering the fields of Earth without consciousness or direction (and honestly that wouldn't surprise me at all! ;3). That's why I believe in ghosts. ;0 Plus, numerous evidence, but ya know, whatever. Just "dying" doesn't make sense. I like to think I-- OOPS i'm wasting time writing meaningless crap into this bogus forum bye!

XxAtillaxX · 2016-10-06 00:23:54

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, and there is no evidence of an afterlife.

The conversation of energy is not an answer. The universe is not proven to be an isolated system, nor does it mean energy is constant within the universe, as the universe is expanding, and it doesn't account for infinite dimensions.
In general relativity conservation of energy-momentum is expressed with the aid of a stress-energy-momentum pseudotensor. The theory of general relativity leaves open the question of whether there is a conservation of energy for the entire universe. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservation_of_energy

If it cannot be proven scientifically, then it remains a hypothesis.
You cannot be correct in stating that the Earth is a hamster, for example.

Faith is not an answer.

I don't, but it would be hilarious if there was an afterlife.

I would imagine people involved in murder-suicide cases would have a very interesting conversation

Congrats! You missed my point.
I only mentioned the body decomposing because I don't believe anything else happens. Nothing happens to your "consciousness/soul" in my opinion.

Also @ me next time

Bobithan · 2016-10-06 00:57:38

ok so if we die our consciousness doesn't really exist but is there some sort of metaphysical vessel in which our consciousness is stored allowing them to be reused so in one life you're tom danger and in the next you are some superintelligent octopus thing off in another galaxy or something as there are a limited number of vessels that the universe has to constantly reused and maybe that number is the maximum amount of possible consciousnesses to exist in the universe at a single moment which is probably some ridiculously big number but not as big as you would expect and it would be impossible to ever go over that cap because it is the cap or does the universe have an infinite supply of possible consciousness that it conjures up out of nothing which ceases to exist at all after the body in which it was held is no longer is able to support it i mean we know our bodies are holding at least something since i assume you are all thinking people that experience things just as i do so a consciousness of some sort certainly does exist inside you and me but maybe only one consciousness is ever active in a sense and the universe just shuffles every single consciousness that ever existed in the entire timeline of everything ever so like what im experiencing is actually trillions of years apart from what youre experiencing

yeah that sry bad wording

another point:
i believe humans really just die and go into nothing, but what...happens? it's nothing, but how do we perceive that? completely black? is there a passage of time?

there's this short story called The Egg by Andy Weir, it's really interesting and touches on topics such as life after death and reincarnation

tldr; the entire universe is just an embryo, and every single life, every single person, you will live through. you will become abraham lincoln, you will become edward snowden, you will become every single prisoner in Guantanamo Bay. i remember staying up at night thinking about that story because i was terrified of living through a life where someone gets burned alive, or buried in cement. it's a very insightful story, i strongly recommend reading through it
