What happen after death ?

just becoming "nothing" scares to many people who need to think there is "something". I see death as the same as being in the dark. People don't like the dark because they can't "see" what is out there, same with death.

That's where faith comes into it man ;) You have a soul. Believe it or not but you do. Learn to accept this before it's too late.

Your soul leaves your body and then judgment day happens for real. Your are either accepted into heaven or sent back to earth to be born again in another life.

Funny how the number of people keeps increasing rather than decreasing then. Although large amounts of soulless idiots would explain most HR departments.
 
the way i've always seen it is, or tried to get my head around.. basically, you fizzle out, your memory goes, done, dusted. there is nothing beyond it. i put death in the same category as stepping on an ant. you become nothing but a memory for your loved ones (obviously not in the ants case) and a mass in the ground.

it would be nice to think there is something after death. but meh.. i highly doubt it. and i dont think it'll ever be proved. i think i read somewhere that losing conciousness is pretty close to death?
 
You die. You decompose. Your organs stop working, and you cease to exist.

Anyone that tells you anything else is a liar!
 
Your body decays (at least I can think of one reason why we have candida albicans inside us). You then return to the consciousness all around, kind of like stepping in to another dimension, energy has a different vibration to the physical plane though. Then, you will see some familiar faces....:)
 
You will finally get the answer to the one question no one can answer for you.

Of course if the answer is that you simply cease to be... well then it wont really matter what the question was.
 
I don't think it really matters whether there is oblivion or some form of transference of conciousness to another state or not.

If oblivion is our ultimate end then it is nothing to be afraid of as you will have no experience of that end anyway.

If there is some form of afterlife then all well and good, although as we would experience that, it may well be something to be terrified of.

Just consider that your conciousness is a form of energy, energy cannot be destroyed or created and as the Universe is essentially a closed system who can say how that energy is transformed as the body that houses it dies.

One thing is for sure however, whatever your belief you will find out one day, some sooner than others.

what makes people so sure that your memories and thoughts die out ? what about people who have died and been brought back to life ? do they always forget who they are and start again ? nope...

truth is that none of us are going to know until it happens to us. im both intrigued and terrified

to be fair, no one has been bought back to life from "cold" as it were.
 
Consciousness is an energy that requires a functional brain to exist. After the brain stops working, your consciousness no longer exists.

Before anyone tries refuting this with near death experiences, first ask yourself and explain what has happened to the consciousness of a severely mentally handicapped person that no longer has any sense of humanity left within them.

When the brain is severely broken, or dead, your consciousness is gone.

And who exactly has been resurrected like this?

Interesting then that Robert Shulman said: "You can think of consciousness not as a property of the brain, but of the person."

in his paper cited below, he says that conciousness needs massive amounts of brain energy, yet the amount of energy used to do tasks when reacting to stimuli is minute in comparison.

So when the body dies, what happens to all this energy that supports conciousness?

I have no idea, Dr Shulman has no idea, generations of philosophers have no idea, yet you are so absolutely sure that the energy doesn't change or transform into another state, it simply ceases, which seems to be against the laws of energy conservation, why?
