What do you believe happens to you when you die?

Well rotting in the ground is boring so hopefully you know heaven preferably

According to Karma, I'm gonna be reborn as a Tiger.

Nothing. Your consciousness stops and your body rots in the ground.

There is a lot of proof of ghosts, as I feel there is one in my house. Gamerstevo666

I believe that a person (i.e. their mind) ceases to exist when they die. The neural activity in their brain stops, and the mind which was once produced by this neural activity ceases to exist. At this point, it is unreversable and the person is gone...forever. There is no afterlife; no heaven, no hell. Just a mindless and inanimate body rotting away. We do not have spirits or souls; we are purely physical creatures. We did not exist before our conceptions in our mothers' wombs, and we will not exist when we die. It's simple and logical.

The physical body ceases functioning and begins to decompose.

It'll be like being before you were born, and sleeping without dreaming.

I believe you get sent to your Master.

This.

I am, you are, and we are our brains. When that stops functioning we cease to exist forever. There is no afterlife, however if it makes you feel better to think there is, then by all means.

I'm personally ok with knowing that I'll be gone forever. Assuming I'll die of old age, my mind will probably diteriate to the point where I won't even be able to develop the concept of not being around anymore let alone have a fear of it. Even if I do, I won the race to fertilize my mothers egg at conception, so many thousands of others could have been here in my place. How selfish would it be of me to expect anything more after I die, this life is enough.

I just can't believe there is no form of afterlife. Consciousness seems way too complicated to just be given to us and then for it to go nowhere when we die.

i agree with this.

I believe that when you die you wil get the eternal tv test screen.

seriously if there was such a thing like heaven it would be seriously overcrouded by now (same as for ghosts lol how many would their be in my room if they would exist lol ) . but I guess storys like that help to comford mankind.

Consciousness has been proven to be the result of neural activity in the frontal lobes of the brain. Damage to this area of the brain results in DIRECT alternation of a person's consciousness (i.e. their personality). This is irrefutable proof that consciousness is produced by the physical brain. Destroying the physical brain, destroys consciousness.

Brain waves are produced by neural activity. When someone dies, their neural activity stops. How can the brain waves "continue to live on", if there is no neural activity to produce them?

I hope when I die,I am born again,but as a different person(and gender :P).

[QUOTE="BluRayHiDef"]

[QUOTE="Pirate700"]We actually do have a spirit/soul. Our brains waves and conciousness are electiric. They actually "exist". When we die there can be a perfectly scientific reasoning for some form of afterlife as the energy has to go somewhere.

It doesn't. You're consciousness is not contained by the stored energy.

My body will rot.

the end.

Two angels will approach you and ask you some questions. Based on how you answer, they'll show you where your next destination will be.

My body become food for worms.

I have no idea where my soul is going thanks to you guys :(

Nothing will happen and you won't even know you're dead since you can't re-call the memory.

yes the energy goes somewhere. it gets converted into heat and disperses. that's the scientific reasoning.

Before going on adventures, I'll probably hang around a while and haunt the people that wronged me, help people that looked out for me, and play practical jokes on random people for my own amusement.

Nothing. No, that doesn't mean I will be floating around in darkness for eternity.

It means that I won't exist, I won't feel boredom, I won't think, I won't suffer, laugh, regret or feel, I would be dead.

Pretty much what I think...but you said it 100% better lol.

I believe you are reborn one step closer to G-d maybe not on this planet or this universe but you'll be closer, it's like a travel and you move closer & closer to G-d. For each level your understanding of life, existence & G-d improves. Inbetween your host bodies there will be a small travel to your next host body and it will all be blue.

I believe there is a heaven and a hell, a temporary one that is. Until armageddon when everyone is reincarnated with glorified bodies (which my interpretation is that all of the bodies that have been decomposed and such will be put back together again. For the final confrontation, and then a new earth will arise in conjunction with heaven, a new garden of eden I supposse.

Your life starts right over again.
Time is relative, so while billions of years have gone by, it will seem like you've just begun living your life for the first time.
Eternal Return, basically.
