What comes after death?

I still think that the people who believe they will have an awesome afterlife with eternal bliss or whatever must have their doubts. Why would you even try to avoid death if you were absolutely sure that your afterlife was going to be super-cool?

no i take advantage of my life, im going to live this to the fullest because yes i do have my doubts, it could just be blank space when we are dead...
but did you know our body produces DMT when our bodies sleep? its from the penile gland (no not PEE NILE) which is between our eyes, and when we die that gland bursts... which is what is produced to make us dream...

Your thought processes, your emotions, your memory, it's all an extremely complex arrangement of trillions of nerve cells.

If your brain is 10% destroyed, you lose 10% of your mind's ability to do what it does. If your brain is 50% destroyed, you lose 50% of your mind's ability to do what it does. If your brain is 100% destroyed, you lose 100% of your mind's ability to do what it does.

The brain is the mind, and the mind is the brain. The death of the brain is the death of the mind.

Rather redundant, but also false. You seem to ignore all the findings concerning the remarkably plasticity of the brain, and its ability to adapt and function even after being damaged. Even within the fully developed adult brain.

I know you've got this whole materialist paradigm going on for you, but if you're going to make wild claims I'd like to see evidence backing them up, as opposed to just the regular dogma.

If Elvis was alive today he would be scratching and clawing trying to get out of the casket.

u could spend ur whole live tryin to figure it out

u'd only go crazy

PEACE

like me! :yippee:

if elvis were alive today he'd be really pissed at the mess the worms had made of his suit.

It has been suggested that when the pinile gland bursts, it is possible that someone could live out entire lifetimes in their dreams, right before they die. If you have ever had a lucid dream, you would realize that reality is in our minds, and this is entirely possible. How do you know the life you are living right now isn't merley a figment of your imagination? Time is wildly distorted in dreams, so I believe that in the seconds before we die, our body thrusts us into an infinite dream (a self-defense against the unimaginable concept of non-existence), so at least in our minds, we could live forever.
