Life After Death

[Neil]

When the lights go out, what happens?

[EvilNed]

Do I have to spell it out?

[Tricky]

I guess nobody knows seen as nobody has ever come back, but my money is on the lights go out and thats it, which is why people should live for the day rather than going through their whole life worrying about the next one which likely doesnt exist.

I'd add a different option to the list here - it doesn't matter what happens after you die and should not be dwelled upon. I'm a Christian - what matters to me, in my opinion, is living here and now and living life as best one can to do good for others and try to live with compassion and love for others. As long as I can do this - it doesn't matter what happens after death - whether there is or is not an afterlife is a moot point. It just doesn't matter. j.p.

The only apparent life after death is legacy.

Though I'm not certain and hope I'm wrong, it's more than a sound bet that once the electrochemical activity shuts down in the brain it's all over.

When the lights go out, what happens? Churchill's speech then the intro to Aces High kicks in... ooooh you mean the other Life After Death...

'When the lights go out...' Danny Elfman sings a cool song? Nah, I believe the spirit lives on, maybe taking another form in this world or sticking to the spirit world. It's complicated. *shrugs* I guess it doesn't matter, though.

It's complicated. *shrugs* I guess it doesn't matter, though. I always have a problem understanding what people mean by 'spirit'. Are they referring to the electrical signals pinging around your brain that makeup consciousness & self awareness? I've don't see what ring fences these particular electrical signals over any others. Why are they special? Do computers go through some supernatural rebirth when they're turned off?

Churchill's speech then the intro to Aces High kicks in... ooooh you mean the other Life After Death... "We will go on to the end, whatever the cost may be...."

Yes. Hebrews 9:27: "And as it is appointed to men once to die, but after this the judgment."

i am an annihilationist. i am of the opinion that it is fade to black time and i certainly hope that is the case. eternity is a long, long time. i have no desire to be "immortal" in either body or soul. everything lives out its time in this universe then dies, i think that is probably one of those immutable laws of nature that there is no way around. i can deal with mortality just fine and the fact that one day i will not exist and everything that was me will be gone, only to live on in my children and their descendants. i need not "soothe" myself with hollow stories for 4 year olds about heaven nor do i find solace in the idea of "meeting" loved ones who have preceded me in death. that is why it is important to show/tell people that you care about them while you have the chance. i am convinced that the only reason most religions exist is because most humans simply cannot handle to fact that one day they will die. where is kaos with that "you will die" vid from youtube? i can't find that damn thing.

Dust to dust.
