What do you think happens when you die?

[Emadyville]

Two days ago this older man and woman rang my doorbell, I was home alone so I answered and didn't mind talking to them cause I was off that day from work.

The woman had a bible and was asking me stuff about what god means (after she read something from the bible) and elaborated her question to entail the end of the world...and I didn't know what to say. I'm not even sure what their reason was for going door-to-door

i frowned and said "okay"

Well...

If you're buried, you rot inside a box underground.

If you're cremated, you get burned to ash.

The thing that urks me the most about Christianity is that (as said in the video) God loves you, but he will send you to hell.
Ok, so what if 'Satan' takes you there because you have succumbed to his evil ways and thereforth god cannot stop him taking your soul, God could destroy Satan but chooses not to because he 'loves' him too, as he was special before he had fallen from grace.
But then.. why would you be punished by Satan if he wants you to do bad things? I don't understand this whole concept as the religion has many flaws that don't co-inside with each other, and the personality traits of both God & Satan can be picked apart and seen to also, not co-inside.

But more on topic, what do i think is on the other side? Nothing.

Death happens.

Well stories of people who have been "Beyond and Back" suggest that you will forget about your worries on Earth and be in a state of comfort with your dead relatives and friends. I think If your a loving, moral person you will be rewarded in this way.

Well my fellow Pastafarians and I believe that after you die you will be in a magical place with The FSM where you can eat endless amounts of pasta.

I'm agnostic sorta, and whether or not there is an afterlife I honestly don't believe we'll ever fully know. Though I do wonder if a place for imperfect beings, now I'm not being elitsts nor am I one of those pseudo nihilistic live journal rejects, but I don't need to find solace in the afterlife for me to do genuinely good things like going out of my way to help others.

I don't need some plastic endless thing to help others, but what really bothers me is the whole "God put you on this earth so you must love him", that's borderline extortion. I also don't like how humans are sent to hell for finite crimes done on earth, yet receive infinite punishment how is this just? Lastly the most caustic doctrines that annoyed me are that you're inherently evil and you must accept God if you want eternal happiness.

They're just so many things that don't make sense in it lol

See, unlike a lot of people i believe in science. i like to believe in something that can be proven. Im open to religion, but only if there is a way of proving that religion is right, and i cant see that happening.

As for what happens when you die, im going to go with nothing. Your brain has a surge of activity in the last several nanseconds before it turns off, which is your body trying to restart its self, then the brain activity falls to an almost unrecognisable level of activity, which is similar to being unconscious, only you wont wake up. So i think that it is like being knocked out, only you dont wake up afterwards, but then it does depend how you die. Dying of cancer is quite different to your parachute not opening when you pull the cord, so it may differ, but i am going to say it is like being knocked out.

Having never been knocked out, i have no idea what it is like, but if you have been at some point, try to imagine the final second or so before you were unconscious. That is what it may be like. Only you wont be able to look back on it, in which case you may no nothing about it. After that moment, there is hardly any brain activity, so you could be dreaming untill your brain rots away...

Someone once told me that when you die, in your mind your life goes on. So in reality, you've been dead for a year, in your mind nothing has happened, so i guess you would never know that you are dead. But that kind of thought creeps me out, not knowing that you are dead when you are and have been for a long time. reminds me of the matrix.

Anyway, im going with the 'unconscious' theory. Disagree if you want, its just what i think.

I wish I knew, but you just have to accept the fact that you will never know.

"Matter can't be created or destroyed, it can only change shape"

My guess is you get reincarnated, cause I believe we all have a soul (and no I'm not even religious, just spiritual). Of course when you die, your brain does so too, so all your memories will be erased and your "soul" just inhabits another body that is just about to be born I guess.

I don't get how Satan is evil if he punishes bad people. Wouldn't that make him good?
