After you die...

Eternal sleep. Eternal respite.

There should be enough to keep you busy in life without having to worry about death. Personally I don't care about my death. I'll be dead, so I don't suppose I'll be around to worry after the fact either.

There's no reason to believe there's any life after life. Given that we know that a person's body disintegrates after death, and that a person's body has at least something to do with mental functions, there's good reason to believe that there are no mental functions after you die.

Why would you associate a dying person's memory of a white light with death or an afterlife, let alone with any god? I imagine when my brain starts to shut down I'll experience all sorts of things. Or I'll imagine I did, when you jump-start my brain afterwards. If you cough in the dark, you'll see a bright flash of light sometimes. Is that God too?

Being a Christian (albeit a Kierkegaardian one, and with unorthodox views at that), I believe in the idea of an eternal soul that will eventually be sent either to Heaven or to Hell, depending on the relationship held by God. I won't say any more on the matter, as that'll risk it turning into a religious/theological debate, which this thread isn't necessarily meant to be.

Humans have a soul. When your body dies you will confront your maker, God and you will have to account for your actions during your life. If you have given your heart to him and got to know him, then because Jesus died to atone for things you've done wrong (intentionally or unintentionally) then these are covered (paid for, freely) by Jesus' death. You will be welcomed into your Fathers house to live in fellowship with him forever (good feast waiting too!). If you don't know him yet, then I suggest you do, because if you are not "covered" then you will have to spend eternity away from the presence of God.

This is what you believe. Don't state it as undeniable fact...
though I agree with you, Kefka. I don't want to turn this into a debate.

Personally, I believe that when I die everything will turn into mashed potatoes....I mean everything! Water, your pet dog, lightening bolts, ABBA CD's, everything. Even raw potatoes will turn into mashed potatoes. YAY!! :D

Why do people want to keep on living for eternity? That would be freaking boring. I'll enjoy what I have now and when I'm gone, I'm gone.

Hey, we all defecate ourselves when we die. Can't we all at least agree, and laugh, on that?

If you can't state your beliefs as fact, then you can't believe in them very strongly. The trick is to not deny others their ability to state *their* beliefs as fact :p

I agree with Mum.

I want my gravestone to read:

I died and all I got was this stupid gravestone.

You act as if the universe is static. There'd always be new things to see - it's quite unlikely that anyone would actually experience everything, and see everything, before the universe ends in one way or another.

's true.

It'd be cool to live life very fast though, so you could see empires rise and fall, and stuff like that.

You can find out about God in the Bible (the new testament is best to explain things) or ask a Christian friend to explain. I was a staunch atheist in my teens, with excellent explanations against all things to do with the bible until someone challenged me to prove or unprove it. I did my research, and the proof overwhelmed me into admitting there was a God, Jesus existed and died for me, and that the bible is truth. Any book by Josh McDowell such as "Evidence that demands a verdict" or "Jesus, Lord, Liar or Lunatic?" will help you decide.

Cheers.

True that. :D
