I know that your body starts to decay over time, but what do you experience in your mind?

Afterall, you can't experience nothing, can you? ;)

i imagine it's like experiencing sleep.... which is experiencing nothing unless you dream... maybe athiest will dream for eternity. maybe they'll become masters of their own universe and recreate their lives and live it out and experience it in a never ending loop.

but seriuosly, i guess you can experience nothing... you probably arent dreaming 100 percent of the time you sleep.

You know when you die, apparently you lose consciousness? That's where I imagine I stop experiencing things. Unless I'm revived quickly by a medical team, in which case i keep living :D

As a weak atheist, I take a "let's wait a see" stance on the afterlife, reincarnation, nothingness, or whatever lies beyond the grave. Until then, I'll enjoy my life to the fullest because as far as I know, it's the only one I have.

When you die, you cease to exist. There is nothing that makes up your consciousness other than the electrical impulses in your brain, and when those are gone, so are you. To think that there is some big purpose to life, is, in my opinion, arrogance. Life of any sort is nothing more than a fluke accident created by some replicating carbon chains that linked together a certain way.

What did you experience before you were born?

I imagine that those who believe in no afterlife picture death being much the same way.

I look at it this way: either there is something, or there is nothing. If there is something, you will experience it; if there is nothing, you won't be around to recognize that fact. So, no sense in worrying about the prospect of no afterlife.

like Dane said... they become one with the earth. then their body becomes fertilizer, which will become a tree. that tree will grow large and tall. majestic. ...then a lumberjack will come out of nowhere, chop them down, drag them through the mud to the paper mill, where they will be chopped and diced into pieces...and from those pieces into pulp. and from that pulp into paper. ....and The Bible will be printed on them.

All your cells stop receiving their needed chemical energy, stop functioning and die. That's pretty much it.

I read somewhere that there's a chemical in your brain that is released just before you die. It makes you so high that you don't feel anything. So you feel high then there's nothingness or an afterlife.

what do you experience when you die? That's like asking what does blue smell like? It doesn't make sense.

To experience something, you have to be alive. "Existence precedes Essence". Once you die, whatever makes you you stops existing, your mind, or soul, or whatever is gone. Therefore nothing can be experienced.

You experience nothing when you pass out, at least in my experience.

That's death in a nutshell.

I know that your body starts to decay over time, but what do you experience in your mind?

Afterall, you can't experience nothing, can you? ;)

ghoklebutter

Don't know pal.

Although if I end up somewhere in a 1950's americana uptopia that passes for the common idea for a christian heaven, I'll start sinning like there is no tomorrow to end up in hell. After all, hell has heavy metal and I'm bound to see halford and ripper owens there as metal gods.

I'll go with hell.

I really think you might be my twin or something, with some of your replies I've been seeing in various threads. You even use semicolons; I don't see a lot of people do that too often. Seriously, get out of my head. :P Are you especially good at math by any chance?
