On Death 'n Dying

Dunno, really

I believe everybody goes to hell, that is, like Earth, only slightly worse. But that it's very peaceful, and in a lot of ways, better than Earth? If that makes sense... anyway once you get there there's no way in hell you'll wanna go back to living

Or 'the big sleep'. Pretty much the same thing. All I believe is that it's peaceful and you're better off there.

I have such a weird view on death. I mean, it's just weird. It's the most unknown thing out there, so naturally it scares everyone. But think about time for a minute. Think about life, the whole thing of living. Is that an illusion as well? It's fluid almost, like being pulled along a current. If you look at religion from a detatched point of view, a belief of an afterlife is a survival instinct. A coping mechanism of sorts.

Now what happens after death? I really don't know. I'd like to believe in some kind of afterlife (with all the stuff about hauntings and things like that, it's kinda hard not to believe), but part of me is also afraid it'll just be the end of existance. If you think about it, life is memories. You could get Alzheimers and it would almost be like a death of it's own, because memories are your life. Even if there is reincarnation, that would be a death of it's own, since those memories are gone. I hope that made sense.

Not existing can't hurt.
Heaven/Hell or reincarnation most probably does.
=> I like the idea of not existing more than any other possibility.

Actually, me too. I don't want to spend the rest of my life worrying about getting into heaven. Not existing sounds rather peaceful.

I don't really believe in heaven nor hell, I think when we die, we come back as something else, but aren't conscious of it. Be it an animal or another person or maybe a plant, we just keep going and going on and on, drifting into another form once we are done with the one we currently have.

But also, I am a believer in Karma, what goes around comes around. Eye for an eye.

If we do "bad" or "evil" things in one life we can be punished in the next, be it we are given a new life with not a single perk, or we maybe born into a body that isn't fully functional. We could be thrown back to the bottom of the chain and have to work our way up to being in a human form again.

But as I said I don't think we are conscious of our progression into the next, and I think that's why no one knows 100% what comes after we die.

druscilla; watchful.:

I think if you are good you go to Heaven.
I think that Heaven is different for everyone.
I don't think you need to be a Christian to get there.
In my Heaven I'll be with Andie and my babies.
Part of the reason I'm suicidal. Anyway...
I think if you're bad you get reincarnated or your soul just ceases to exist.
However, if you believe that after death you are reincarnated anyway, I believe that's what happens.
I don't believe that one religion can cover it all...

That's the way I look at life, except..
A sort of heaven in my opinion, is, going back to a memory that made you so happy and staying there, or it replays and you never get sick of it.

I think you're just..... dead.
There's nothing after you die. Either that or you just pop back out as a baby.

Death is when your humanbody dies and go elsewhere maybe in pluto not yet in heaven. .I believe in ressurection.

Kay, so what you've just said is exactly what I think, except smarter
I think you come back as something else, according to what you've done in the past life.

XSuicidal-RomanticsX:

At this point I am not quite sure. Really you can't answer the question of what happens to you after death. The only way you'll know is if you die.

This is a place to speculate about that, though
You post what you think is going to happen, not what is going to happen

MyJerseyBoy.:

Its kinda in my religion that when you die, its either you go to Heaven, Hell or purgatory...

Why purgatory? It's not in the Bible....

Disturbia:

Hell is absurd.
When you make a mistake, you suffer the consequences on earth.
And then when you die, you die.
You don't go to hell, you're either burried or cremated and that's it.
You don't go and endure another punishment with the Devil.
But that's just my opinion.

Do you always pay for your mistakes on earth?
Because that would mean that life is fair. Is life fair?

I believe in souls.
And I think our souls either exist forever or not at all.
Also I don't think Hell is anything we could think of it to be. No fire and brimstone and screams. Our human minds can't understand, can't imagine Hell, it's just too big, too complicated, too absolute, just pure pain.
