Afterlife?

Do you believe in an afterlife? I don't, I die, i die, there's nothing afterwards.

 

I haven't been dead before.

I also don't believe matter can be created or destroyed.

 

It can decompose

 

Goes into the soil....changes form....

 

I don't know. All I know is that energy never dies. It just changes, so what can we derive from that?

 

Although I claim to be a Christian, I don't believe in an afterlife. No afterlife was the traditional OT Jewish belief until some sects gave it up under the Persians and Greeks. I don't disbelieve in an afterlife, but I don't make life decisions based on one. I generally have a model of my consciousness depending on a physical brain that is perishable. Whether or not my life energy persists in some sense seems irrelevant, because it's probably dissipated and in a form that is no longer capable of consciousness. I expect that when I die, I'll be food for a large number of worms, which is fine with me.

 

..If weren't illegal, I'd have my unpreserved body buried in a wooden box so the worms and soil can have my energy when I die.

 

Not trying to split hairs with you but isn't part of, a LARGE part of, what makes a Christian a Christian their belief that Jesus died for their sins and because of that if they believe in Jesus as their savior they will have EVERLASTING LIFE?
(yes, I am aware that the Jewish faith does not believe in an afterlife, but I thought that was one of the big differences between Judaism and Christianity).

Hm, so that is illegal? lol... guess so but never thought of that.



Anyways, I assume energy, once death happens goes back to the universe in general and is just a part of the universe.

But also please refer to the first thing I said in my first post "I haven't died yet".

 

I'll feed myself to the pigs. I favor them above worms. Perhaps I take precautions so my bones will be grinded up so it can be mixed in the cow food. I like them to get my energy too.

 

When my body dies and I'm separated (free) from it, I'm gonna fly outta here faster than a thought. I'll travel through the universe and go visit wherever, someplace else. Some people don't get to leave, they stay trapped on the Earth plane.

 

Earth is a starship, not a plane!

 

Check the link in my blood clot thread it had something about people monetarily dying in their sleep. Maybe you have.

 

Sure, give me something else to worry about. Pregnancy related deep vein thrombosis isn't enough... Now I shall worry about dying in my sleep as well.

 

There is a green cemetary around here...and you can get buried in just a sheet with no embalming...That is what I want, i think, or cremated. Have not decided yet.
My mom was never sure, so my brother and I were lost as to what to do. Had we known about this green cemetary then, we would have done this, as the last thing she said was just a sheet in the earth. We had her body cremated and are remorseful about it now, but we had to make on the spot quick decisions....

OK. It is not quite as bad I thought. Oops. X

 

Okay... I assume you were talking about the part that said "you can die in your dreams and live to tell the tale"?

 

Wow, cool...never heard of that.
I want to be buried in a green cemetery...with pot plants growing on my grave.:2thumbsup:

 

It appears you have a thing for pushing the legal limits :bobby:

 

Yes.

 

I do believe in an after life and it's gonna be such a riot. I can't wait.
