Do you believe we continue to live on after we die?

Valhalla is clearly the best afterlife you can get, so pick that one guys.

If I may ask,what is Valhalla???Sorry if it's kinda a dense question???

@brimmul777: It's more or less Viking Heaven ;) You eat, screw and fight all day, every day.

If there is sentience after death, why is autonomous choice no longer possible?

Nope... once you die, that's it. Like any animal.

My body will die, but consciousness does not come from the brain. Consciousness will live on.

No, we just rot in the ground.

*fingers crossed

Theoretically it makes no sense, but who knows, the only way to find out is to die.

I believe in life after death

I'm having my head frozen, and when I wake up in 200 years it will either be transplanted onto a robot body, or have my consciousness transferred over. Immortality for the win.

Yes, I believe in reincarnation.

I believe the afterlife is a pleasant experience for the majority of people. However, I'm open to the possibility that there may be dark astral realms for those that have live a very bad life.

when i die i believe that all your jesus base are belong to us

Dunno....maybe science one day brings us a proof or sth ....

Yeah Science should definitely work hard and do research on this, like machines or whatever with dead bodies, to find/locate possible supernatural energy, and stuff like that.

I for one like to think positive that death here is just death and that's it, is simply not how it ends. appearing in some sort of afterlife likely isn't gonna be boring and eternal. One good theory is that different realities/universes exist outside of this one, and its possible death means getting transported in a different universe/reality. (Which can solve the question on why so many dead people's spirits we never seem to see/hear again, definitely in some other universe/reality, I imagine its quite difficult to enter this universe/planet we're living on, or making some sort of contact with this one.)

Could be possible this universe is one of the starting points for life and death, and other greater and more mysterious imaginative universes can exist outside of this one, thus being next steps or stages in reincarnation. Exiting life and entering a new one.

I also agree energy can eventually form into another lifeform at some point of time, even in just this planet/universe alone. Its good to think about that, of possibly entering a new life, where there's the chance you enter a new human's body, where the life could also possibly be better than the previous person's life. I think its good to think that if a person feels they really have a bad life in this reality, its possible a new better life, somewhere out there, could possibly be waiting. it just is something I think can help someone remain hopeful.

And before the argument comes where all this is impossible, I don't think anyone knows for sure, and is just in denial of believing possibilities where things that look and can prove quite impossible, can actually make a surprise and not be so impossible after all. I'm sure in the past there has been quite a few instances where certain people, past scholars, scientists, etc. laughed a certain something off, at being impossible, but time warp to today, and wouldn't you know, things thought impossible for certain like, a thousand years ago, have actually been made possible today. Humans/society are striving to get smarter, and break barriers on what can be done, and what can be discovered.

Anyway I think I'm finished and this concludes what I've wanted to say, and what my thoughts/theories are about this. Sorry for the wall o' text.

@Toph_Girl250 Yeah , i'm more inclined to your thoughts ... it'd be so meaningless this world being the end ...i'd rather not to put much thought into it tho ...let's enjoy what we have here ...

I dunno. Actually I also don't want to know.

Afterlife, reincarnation, nothingness...

For this question I like to think of the Buddhist parable of the poisoned arrow: A man is struck by an arrow covered in poison, and help is offered to him by a doctor who can cure him. The man, however, says "I will not accept help until I know who shot the arrow, what the person looked like, whether they were noble, or commoners, of what wood the bow was made..." The man dies without ever knowing the answers to his questions.

So yeah, I think I choose to not care what comes after death, even if I am curious. Whatever it is, it's not gonna change how I have to live my life, seeing as I can never know the answer.

Like you?

I hope I don't offend, because that's not my intention. I'm just curious if posting on gamespot plays a part of you living your life to the fullest?

Yeah I believe in something after death. Reincarnation makes the most sense to me since we already know what it feels like. I'm just scared of the unknown. It could have been hell those billions of years before I was born. You never know what horrors await you after death. Life just seems scary in general. Life just shows proof that the universe doesn't care for you and that you can be damned forever.

Doubtful but not impossible. I don't believe so based on present information.

@grimseeker: As a Catholic, I believe that there is a Heaven when you die. It just gives my life a meaning and purpose to believe in it.

Nope.
In my opinion when you die then you die. Time moves onwards and you likely experience the same thing as you did in the millions of years before you were born. Absolutely nothing.
