Do you believe in an afterlife?

[Butterfly65]

I fully believe there is an afterlife, and God but not in the Christian way. I am not religious, I am spiritual. There is no Hell or Heaven the way the Bible tells it. What do you believe?

 

[HowNowBrownCow]

I think we go back to nonexistence after death

 

[WornOutLife]

I just don't know what I believe in anymore.

I would like to have all the answers about the meaning of life and the universe but I will probably never get them.

I think there's either eternal nothingness or once we die, we simply log out from this simulation and go to the "real world".

 

[MoreThanAFeeling]

One life is already enough of a joke.

I dont believe there is an afterlife, I KNOW there is an afterlife and a good one. I know this because as I have said a few times but not often enough, we live in a Flat Earth. We do not live on a planet. Once a person gets over themselves and understands this, life as far as what happens next, gets easier and more comprehendable. The reason we dont look into a topic like this as individuals is because we are afraid of what the person next to us might say. Also when you find out that you were wrong it is a bit embarrassing. We literally live in a world designed strictly for consciousness to incarnate. This world was literally "built for you" as Christians would say, so its fine to be a little selfish and say that. It was designed for us. I think "we" all made this world not a God type figure but that's for everyone to decide. I also think this is the false world and the real world awaits us after death. I think we die by ANY method, now or later, and we simply go back home where a kind loving and wonderful place wait for us. I wont say its heaven but pretty damn close...only they may not have cigarettes and coffee and booze and xbox. I think we are "there" and in a way, dreaming that we are here. And yes it can seem like a damn nightmare. When we wake up we are home and safe and loved and happy after so much hardships here in this world. A fully simulated reality is what we have here and it all takes place INSIDE a Flat World built specifically for all of us to be born and figure things out in. It really can help people who are suicidal to study this and figure it out while they are still here because it makes things easier on the soul to discover it. Also I have studied near death experiences and spiritual stuff like that which could or could not all be correct BUT that Flat Earth stuff is dead on. It's an disprovable fact.

i don't believe in any afterlife. i think that i am just a brain and once that brain dies there will be no more consciousness

 

[DarkWolf]

An afterlife is my worst nightmare. Imagine getting through a life on this world only to find there's no fucking end to it.
I believe there is nothing and I deeply hope that I am correct.

 

[LastFlowers]

Absolutely not. I believe that once we die, that's it, it's over for who and what we were, no rebirth, no reincarnation, no afterlife...burned to ash or into the ground, back to the nothingness from whence we came.

I wouldn't be opposed to an afterlife where everyone could finally actualize themselves and their environment in any way they please..perhaps something like personal heavens and we all visit each other lol, because ofcourse no singular place is going to meet the definition of 'heaven' to everyone who ends up there. (One man's heaven is another man's hell and all that.) But even that wouldn't solve all the issues, some people's idea of heaven consists of involving and controlling others, so my proposed ideal wouldn't exactly meet everyone's standard. Including my own, as I would still worry about being neglected (and/or insulted) by those who did so in life, many could end up holed up and isolated, same as they are now..but hey, at least everything else would be taken care of in their tailor-made paradise.

What really frightens me is that some people's idea of the afterlife isn't far off from life on earth (a nightmare), where they even picture themselves inhabiting the same flesh they did while alive (an even worse nightmare for me!)...that would be literal hell if I had to continue to look like this and be trapped after having committed the ultimate sacrifice so that my suffering would end..just to suffer more for eternity. For that reason I am glad that I have enough "faith" that there is nothing to look forward to-or be wary of-after we die. I'm mostly concerned about anymore prolonging of my current situation and the process of dying itself. Once it's done though, it's done.

Your dedication to sarcasm is impressive.

We live through our children and in the fond memories of others.

Sadly, I don't believe in an afterlife. As cold as it may sound, there's only eternal dreamless sleep.

Life is what we make of it; notwithstanding how the deck was shuffled and our cards dealt.

We came into this world bright-eyed, overflowing with curiosity, and boundless energy. And we leave wisen and also saddened by what was possible but never realized.

So who are the bigger fools? The ones who say they would be glad to end this life knowing there is nothing on the other side and yet dont, OR the ones who say they know for a fact there is a wonderful place on the other side and still don't?

I don't have children and I think the act of procreating is inherently selfish, but I also really wish not to live on in the memories of others, as any memory they have of me is of a false person, miserable and even more pathetic in their eyes, than my own.
I wish I could erase myself from their minds so that they could not use their ill-acquired and infinitesimal knowledge of my existence to run the narrative once I'm gone.

Also, I think many here have been dealt a bad hand that they can't make much of, not much more than a pile of shit at least. A lot of the time, life is what life made itself for us, and there's not much we can do about it. That's my situation, I don't have enough control of the things that are killing me, to get any enjoyment or worth out of my time here. That's why it must be over, but it would have been better never to have begun in the first place..not like this.

 

[Odwin]

If there is an afterlife. I hope I get to be happy there.

 

[Adamsnolife]

I think so yes

 

[BeansOfRequirement]

 

[Thisgirlwantstosleep]

I believe in reincarnation but I'm also terrified of it.

I suffer from paranoia, think km cursed and that the universe purposely does things to spite me.

I'm extremely afraid of coming back to an even worse life so I think that's exactly what the universe is going to do to me.

 

[Trisolaris]

I don't believe there is something after.

 

[ClairyFairy]

There's nothing there

 

[dummy]

there's probably nothing. i think im still believing in something to help ease myself into my decision. i like to imagine all that warm welcoming heaven shit after all of this. it's not like ill be disappointed if im just dead lol.

 

[orlandom]

I get upset when I think about it

 

[Bamman]

I always believed In a form of non religious reincarnation, where the possibility of returning as another human being is possible. Obviously without that soul of yours or your conscious part. So you are literally entirely new. I don't believe in a floating eternal conscious or energy as it requires a brain for that concept to exist.

equally though with the reincarnation theory you could come back as an ant or a tree or in an even worse state now. So that concerns me. Perhaps even in a different universe or an alternate one?

however I think what sadly is more feasible is the whole concept of nothingness or eternal darkness. However I can see why people my take comfort in that idea and in fact find it the opposite of sad.

ultimately whatever helps you ctb or carry on and not ctb. I think that's why I respect people's belief in religion. Yes I'm an atheist but I wouldn't call you wrong for your beliefs as we are all asking the same question or have at least once or twice in our lives regardless of how joyous or sad we are about living or passing on.

We as a species like answers and being able to fix things. But with the next stage we just don't know till we go.

 

[DeadButDreaming]

This world doesn't strike me as the creation of a divine being.

 

[LionsTigersAndBears]

mark twain quote

I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it."

 

[Bamman]

This world doesn't strike me as the creation of a divine being.

That's why I haven't ever been able to find faith even as low as I have been. I don't see why people can be born blind and deaf and without arms and legs or half a head. Unless god was smoking a joint that day and he leant on the head of that kid he was making I just don't believe a loving creator could do that to someone who has not even had a chance at life yet.

 

[LunarPyotr]

Idk. Maybe there is one and maybe not. If there's one, I hope it'll be better than the reality where I'm currently living in..

 

[Luna88]

"I see the brain as a computer that stops working when its individual parts stop working," Hawking told The Guardian. "There is no afterlife for broken computers; this is a fairy tale for people who are afraid of the dark."

 

[LastLoveLetter]

I'll actually be really angry if there's an afterlife. I want to disappear completely, not live on in spirit. I hope there's nothing at all, which is what I strongly suspect to be the case.

 

[Symbiote]

If there is one, then it's truth that God hates all of us and has given everyone different signs.

 

[FuneralCry]

No, I don't think there is and I hope there is not. I think there is nothing, just like how time went on before we were born and we weren't there, it's the same when we die. If there is an afterlife I don't want to be part of it.

 

[Bamman]

It's the most likely thing. Not being an afterlife. You get a lot of people who have have been technically dead before being revived saying that when they woke up they just said it was like they had gone to bed or been under anaesthesia. Long periods of time felt like seconds.

 

[DunnoWhyButYeah]

I don't believe and I really hope there isn't anything for me.
