One way you'll find out, one way you won't.

You can believe whatever you want when it comes to life after death. Doesn't matter if you're wrong as you won't know anyway.

The really annoying thing is that if it's not like it is in the brochure, you've got no way of complaining.

Who says they went "up"?

They just got the ps2

When you consider the trillions of human souls that have already marched into the eternal darkness, you have to wonder why so few of those who went before have shared the secrets of "the afterlife" with those of us in that infinitely long line still shuffling toward it. I'm saying the odds of it being real are looking a bit iffy.

There is a chance that whatever the afterlife is there is no way to send messages or contact living people until they die. Acting like "My Grandma died 20 years ago and she hasn't sent me any messages!" means there is no afterlife is odd.

Shit we have no way to send messages to dead people in our current situation so it being the same thing the other way makes sense.

The technology just isn't there yet.

Thomas Edison tried to invent a telephone to talk to the dead.

Before life = darkness/no memory. During surgery (under anaesthetics) = darkness/time you cant remember. So do with that information what you will.

To this we return in death. I always find it interesting folk always talk about a afterlife but not much about before we were born. I assume that's because that time has been and gone but still. I always find it fascinating looking back at old photos of a time before I existed. It's also sad because you know life exists with and without you.

Yeah and humans will just carry on from planet to planet like a plague because if we dont we will become extinct and the plants and animals will rule Earth. But at the same time were no good for any planet we inhabit.

I dont believe in evolution, I believe we were an experiment. Were the only free-thinking species here. Thats not an accident.

Such arrogance humans have, that need to be the special one.

Evolution is a mystery, Full of change that no one sees.

You're bringing science into the talk of spirits?
Still if you are as woke as Sunny and spiritual aware you will probably believe every living thing has a spirit, a form of energy that contributes to the universe. Every spirit is free thinking and has a mind of their own as the spirits have no shackles.

Revelation thinks every other animal on the planet is a programmed robot. Oh geez.

If? There is an afterlife. The good are rewarded with the Elysian Fields while the wicked are cast into the pits of Tartarus.

Maybe in the Judeo-Christian hell.

not really surprising

Its usually surprising when someone actually does. Especially when I thought they were smart.

You go to another world and get to live somewhere like medieval Europe and it might have RPG game elements.

It depends on where you go.

In Hell they aren't just up to the times, but they're actually AHEAD of the times. You can get out of it quite easily in fact. You just need to file a request utilizing an app only available on an iPhone one generation later than yours. Alternatively you can do it by winning 10 CoD games in a row but your computer is straight from 95 and flat-out crashes every 3rd map.

Purgatory is fairly mundane but you have to file an application to get into heaven. Except their net is terrible and the webpage keeps crashing.

Heaven has technology but no one knows how advanced it is because no one really cares.

Spirits have nothing to do with whatever life form we see period as one would believe they are free of that form. It's a nice thought process to have but isn't one I share.

Unless you trust what spiritualists say about "life after death", of course.

I envy people who console themselves with a belief in the afterlife. My own view is that consciousness and identity are merely products of electrochemical processes in the brain; and when it goes, it all goes. Life is but a thin sliver of light between two immensities of darkness, and we'll be about as aware of what happens to us after we die as we were of what happened to us before we were born. I hope I'm wrong; I'd love to be. But I don't think I am.
