life after death, your view

Canadian Bacon · 10-31-09, 12:31 PM

I believe there is a heaven but I'm not gonna lie the destiny of "lost" souls is quite confusing

some biblical passages seem to teach an eternal hell, other seems to teach of universalism where the lost are punished for a time and then allowed into heaven, yet other places in the bible mention annihilationism in which lost souls are destroyed

When the electronic impulses in the brain stop, the person is dead. There is no life after that.

Considering the initial pain that was involved, I'm pretty much enjoying life after death.

Life as we know it. What about silica based life, or life that doesn't use DNA. What if that isn't the only way life can be?

oh wait, that's our argument for the likelihood of life out in the universe.

won't happen on this issue. Unless people expand it to talking out of their asses, and that happens at times in Otter.

I think my ass is over at death, but I try not to think about it.

Draven · 10-31-09, 01:41 PM

I'm sure I'll live on eternally as a spirit in the clouds.

Oh wait, that's fucking ridiculous. This life is all you get.

Save Ferris · 10-31-09, 01:46 PM

It always gets me in movies/TV how the ONLY way you can get into hell is by being a pedophile or by killing someone for the joy of killing (self defense or careless manslaughter is ok)

I am a practicing person of faith and I believe in an afterlife.

I do, however, feel that whatever the afterlife is, it will be nothing like anything we could possibly conceive of.

so the dogma in your name isn't just a coincidence

Needs another option: Don't Know

That's the only real answer, but the question is "your view." Some might believe Sky Santa will bring them forever chimney presents, but they don't know it. Especially when they stop the cookie bribes.

rw2516 · 10-31-09, 02:58 PM

Being dead is just like before you were born. Remember what the year 1789 felt like? It'll be just like that. ZILCH.

Jason · 10-31-09, 03:03 PM

I voted for annihilationism just because it sounds so appealing.

So is after sex the same feeling as before sex as well?

Where's the option for "Side with Satan and try to overthrow heaven because I hate dirty hippies like Jesus"?

Yeah... hungry, achey, and a little gassy.

whoopdido · 10-31-09, 03:56 PM

Not necessarily trying to start or continue a debate...I happen to believe in an afterlife, but that's not really the point of my post I guess.

Personally, I think people who say there's nothing after we die are too quick to say that and seem to not be bothered by it. I know everybody dies and there's nothing we can do about it, but I don't see how people can be so la-de-da about it. Not so much about actually dying but the fact that I simply can't fathom the concept of nothing. It's kind of like in the Neverending Story, when the rock dude says a hole would be something, but this was nothing. Human beings can't comprehend the concept or feeling of nothing because we haven't experienced it. We close our eyes and we see black...well at least black is something. If we die and that's it, then there's nothing. Yeah I know our brain impulses stop and we cease to exist. I've heard that, but it's more of a spiritual/mind/consciousness thing.We've lived our whole lives with a conscious and for that to just suddenly stop simply boggles my mind.

Nausicaa · 10-31-09, 03:58 PM

I think this life is all we get. If heaven exists, I'm not sure where it is, or how I'll get there after everything that allows me to perceive existence and reality is dead and rotting.

The other, of course, involves orcs and a magic ring.
