Pretty much. Pretty telling as to how self centered the average person is that they seemingly can't even comprehend a world after they're gone.

I mean I get that it can be a scary thought but.....grow the fuck up and make the most of the time you have here.

It's just nothingness lol. Usually most mention of reincarnation or some being after death tends to be a form of reassurance or some tool to reinforce morals. Logistically, either the fact that your soul or something goes into another being with a fresh memory just doesn't make sense because the total amount of functional things not only vary in numbers but size, and technically every single cell and microorganism could also be considered living beings with soul, which makes it incredibly unlikely that even if a soul can reincarnate that it would actually matter.

There's also the obvious fact that if you are utterly incapable of remembering a supposed previous life, then it's as good as not having existed. A person whose entire cells have been replaced by new ones throughout the course of your life could be considered an entirely different person altogether, and generally around 7 years, which is how long it takes, is enough to consider the person you are then to be an entirely different being. At least the distinction here is that you remember your past at that moment which is why you would still consider the person you were 7 years ago to still be you. But if there is 0 way to remember who you were in between lives then you can hardly be called the same person, and any fear of having done wrong to some previous life of yours is also based on illogic.

But to postulate that one could live past death is a fruitless exercise that can work to the extent the person believing it is willing to be affected by them. For me, I can understand that death is just the end and nothing more, but I'm not so foolish that I'm gonna commit some crime because of some lack of belief in post-death consequence of how one lived their life

When you die time resets for you and you're reborn the same date and time as you were born before.

We're forever cursed to relive the same events over and over again, only with each iteration we lose all our memories, though we may retain some slight fragments.

Why do you think we experience deja vu?

If you want to get all sciencey about it. We still don't know everything about the universe. Like dark matter. Quantum mechanics could also play a part. In all honesty we just don't know. Heck our brian could be in a permanent state of sleep as time would pass at the nanosecond level and believing in a afterlife can create the illusion of being reincarnated, heaven, hell etc. Eternal darkness could also just be a state of limbo.

Even though I do believe in GOD I do wonder how it would all work. In all honesty the thing is no one will ever know until we die.

Honestly I too have thought of this as I do have a lot of those fragments and not just deja vu. I wanted to change it one time because there was a point I recognized that I could. But I chose against it as I was afraid it would break the spell and i would be forced to relive events that are now worse then they were. So far, in hindsight my life has been great. I wish I knew how great before but if I change anything maybe it wont and up that way.

We burnt the world, freedom comes at a price. If GOD controlled everything we might as well be slaves.

Nothing, you simply stop existing. Any other answer is a cope.


Dude you can't say this with a straight face. Science nor religion can prove or disprove any sort of afterlife, and never will be able to. Science has it's limits and religion is called faith for a reason.

Yes, I'd like to believe there's another chance at life because I've been thrown some permanent disabilities I can't do a damn thing about; but at the end of the day I'm not just blindly hoping and praying.

Maybe it is just nothingness. That's very possible. But then why are NDE's so incredible as described by people that have them? I have memories of being struck and killed by lightning. It wasn't painful at all; it was like the biggest surge of energy and nerves you can imagine for about 2 seconds and I was dead.

Life is full of mystery man, you should keep your mind open and you'll enjoy your current life that much more. It's an amazing world, we don't know how or why we're here or what happens afterwards. But if literally anything is possible (You were already in a state of nothingness before you were ever born) why wouldn't you want to believe so?

Don't forget what einstein said. He believes in some sort of afterlife simply because you can't know. The important part though; if you're wrong and there is none, what have you lost? Nothing, because you're not consciously able to regret or care about the loss. So just go for it man and appreciate life for it's mysterious wonders. You'll be happier all in all. :)

I can essentially prove it by showing that there isn't so much as a shred of evidence of supernatural phenomena that would show definitive proof of a deity. No examples of miracles or physics getting wonky. No unexplained events or occurrences. I know your faith will cause you to ignore this or attribute divine providence to explainable phenomena, but there is simply no proof that god or the afterlife exists.

Brain chemicals getting messed up. When you were electrocuted, your brain released chemicals (maybe the wrong ones) as an involuntary defense against the trauma.

Life is full of mystery, man. Death is not. And you understand that you were in a state of nothingness before you were born, so wouldn't it make sense that that's your fate in death?

Well, it's complicated. There is no easy answer. Sometimes the pain and suffering we go through is meant to be passed on to others, sometimes it's to have people rise up against the hate and stop it themselves, sometimes he sends people/creatures to intervene, sometimes people don't listen to the signs and do nothing to prevent it, and sometimes he does intervene directly. Depends on the circumstances and how GOD wants to handle it or how humanity will handle it.

If GOD fixed everything, then we wouldn't understand what all that means and the good times we have wouldn't have as much meaning. We know our loved ones die and we should cherish every moment we have. We know there is evil in the world and we should combat it in anyway we can, sometimes in small ways and sometimes in big ways. Everyone's trials and tribulations are different but they are also similar enough to where we can connect. Religion is about having faith that in the end it will all be worked out and those innocence that die before their time go on to a better life.

It's hard to understand and there is where faith comes in. Though I don't fault anyone for not having the faith I do have. While GOD is omnipotent and all knowing, GOD does live in the present and shapes things so people will have a better future. Think of it more as GOD sees every conceivable timeline and works to give us the greatest life that we can possibly have. Sometimes us or others can alter it, but that's the price of free will.
