What happens after death?

My bet is "yes". Not all of those with NDE experiences were believers. It could be that the soul is indestructible.
Or, it could just mean not dying is not quite the same as actually dying. I'm betting on B.
 
Actually I do, there are no gods, no magic people and no supernatural. You believe in a spiritual god, good, if that works for you that is fine. I know there are no gods, natural or spiritual.
Alrighty. I would think that a message board-seasoned atheist would dare make a positive claim like this without evidence.
 
The god you worshipped eats you.

Trick is, they can only eat people who believe in them. Prayer is a snack, but the real meal is when the person dies. That's where Ba'al and all those other Middle Eastern gods went, by the way...they starved.

The joke is on atheists, though. Nobody gets to eat them, so they turn into sad ghosts that shuffle to work and back every day forever.

Curious, what “work” do ghosts do?
 
You get to meet your previously departed friends, relatives and pets.

Seems pretty obvious and indisputable that consciousness and personality are created by the physical processes of the brain. Altering the physical structures alters the output. Destroying the brain destroys the consciousness. As has been said before, when your brain ceases to be, 'you' cease to be, just as it was for billions of years before your brain formed.
 
Do you believe that the dead can return as ghosts to haunt people?
 
Do you believe that the dead can return as ghosts to haunt people?
No.

When I was a kid (not a believer in god but not a self-identified atheist either) I believed in ghosts, loved ghost stories, even convinced myself I'd seen one for awhile. But I was a dumb kid, and ghosts make absolutely no sense, and the evidence for them is... ghosted.
 
Do you believe that the dead can return as ghosts to haunt people?
No, the dead are dead...the reason Jehovah God forbids talking to the dead is because it is evil spirits mimicking the dead...people who think they are talking to the dead are really communicating with demons...

"For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing at all, nor do they have any more reward, because all memory of them is forgotten...Whatever your hand finds to do, do with all your might, for there is no work nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom in the Grave, where you are going." Ecclesiastes 9:5,10
 
I'm just curious of what you all think about what happens after death. Nothing? Your soul departs your body and goes somewhere? Your soul is reincarnated in another human body? What do you think?

The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass, and then you see it. White shores, and beyond, a far green country under a swift sunrise.


Then you come back dressed in a white robe and hat, kill some orcs, and eventually take a boat ride.
 
Those are the only two options?

What about 72 virgins?
Or reincarnation as a sea-slug?
Or perhaps just a re-birth in one of the many multi-verses we're unaware of?
Not to mention having some serious one-on-one time with Satan?


There are innumerable options imaginable. I’m saying there is only one, IMO. As first described. The other I give is what Christians, the largest number of any religion (so far), to some mixed degree, believe.

You mean the myth about the 72 virgins.

Reincarnation as a lower form of life could mean this is the last trip.

There are colors we’re aware of but cannot see. Maybe you should take this up, along with your reincarnation spiel, with Shirley McClain.

You would not be having serious one-on-one time with Satan. Satan would be having serious one-on-one time with you. Get that straight.
 
Boring would be a sensation incapable in death. You can't even be bored.

The way I see death, there are multiple possibilities.

1. We die and that's it. The end. Worm food, as someone said.

2. Our bodies die, but a part of us goes on. Soul food, if you will.

3. There is more to life than meets the eye. Call it a big ball of energy out there someplace in the universe that bundles up all the lives or all the living things. We return to it.

4. There is more to consciousness than meets the eye. We really do create our own reality and part of that is deciding what happens to us when we die.

5. We dream...or perhaps better said, we have a final dream that stays with us forever, since our forever ends the moment our brain ceases to function.

Usually, you are cremated or buried.
