while that is true, do you think that would keep your dying brain from creating this image? no, i think that if you really think you are going to heaven, your brain might start dreaming about it, and if you die thinking things like that, you may feel as though you're in heaven. if you do not think it exists, as i do though, you're point is perfectly valid. trying to have some perspective.
It's debatable in what the brain does when you die and what you see when you die. Also feeling like being in heaven for a few seconds or less and actually having your soul go to heaven for all of eternity are different things.
Well i belive in heaven, so that's where i think i'm going. But from a non religous view point i think it would be worse. because you're brain is still active when your sleeping. and even have dreams every night. but in death your brain is compleatly dead. When your sleeping you see black. But what about death? There wouldn't be anything to see. And at death it wouldn't even be something to think about.
But from a non religous view point i think it would be worse.
The whole before you were born analogy is a good way to think about it. Since we would have no sensation it wouldn't be worse it wouldn't be like anything. Existing for eternity even in a paradise would get boring after a while. Many atheists would prefer the finite existence of that. The existence we have on this planet does come off as all that much more precious without an after life then it did with. But if there is such an existence after death I personally would be fine with the eternal boredom.
Prior to losing such concepts my view of the afterlife was very similar to what was see in the movie "What Dreams May Come".
Of course nobody knows where we go after we die unless they're dead but then they probably wouldn't know because they're dead. I personally don't think there is an afterlife, I just think that we're left in our graves.
Really? this question on AG? there isn't a answer cause no one can answer it.
unless they are ghosts. but then again if they are ghosts they would have stayed and wouldn't know where everyone else went so nope nobody knows for sure
Oh you mean our bodies well... 1. If you get murdered probably a land fill 2. Cremated if you can't afford a burial or your just plain weird. 3. Donate your body for science and the rest ends up in da garbage. 4. Have a proper burial if you can afford it. 5.Blown up all over the ground if you are in war.
2. Cremated if you can't afford a burial or your just plain weird.
Why is being cremated weird? And what's this idea of a "roper burial"? Being placed in a coffin and with a headstone and everything? They do that if you're cremated too, just with an urn instead.
