the real question that always gets me scared is, where do you really go when you die?
Great question. Time to start a new post and figure it out.
I figure our consciousness just ends and there is no more "you" once you die. You cease to experience anything, and the "thing" that was experiencing in the first place simply no longer exists. I can't prove anything, so it's just a wild guess. I'm just gonna wait and see. If I'm wrong, great, I like surprises.
Sorry to hear that. Those people didn't beat you because they were christian though, they beat you because they are scum.Quote:

i can feel my ass.
I suggest taking your belief bashing else where climbing high.... and perhaps grow up a tad... i mean afterall the way you sound its as if you are about 10. Learn to respect other's boundrys and they will learn to respect yours... remeber that saying If you dont have anything nice to say dont say anything at all? might wanna try that one out.
That dilema has long haunted me... I just feel like life is a dream fairly often... Like its not real... Sometimes its hard to convince myself it really is...Quote:

Stand on one leg and when your steady shut your eye's and see what happens, it never fails.Quote:

If someone was blind deaf and dumb, do you think that they think nothing exists outside of themselves? I don't think so, ever read about Helen Keller?
It's a moot question, and I think the question you're really asking is whether or not our senses are lying to us, or whether we live in some sort of illusion. But I think we're all getting a little carried away with this illusion stuff. I'm a firm believer in reality. If it's there, it's real. it may not be real to someone else, but if it's real to me it's all that matters.
In one of my classes today we were talking about witchcraft in Africa, and some authors brushed it off and treated it as a figment of people's imaginations, that witches and curses don't exist. Other authors claimed that if it's real to them, then it is indeed real. I can tell you with certainty that they don't exist to me, because I don't believe in them, but they certainly exist to millions of Africans who believe in it very strongly.
If you want to believe the world stops existing when you close your eyes, go right ahead, but I know I still exist...
F L E S H, thats fair enough.. but going by your reasoning, that means that God exists for the people who believe in him, and he doesnt for people who dont. Since 'God' alledgedly said that anybody who does not believe in him will go to hell, then there is a contradiction. How can you go to hell for not believing in him, if he doesnt exist because you dont believe in him? lol

Actually, I think it makes sense. If you don't believe in God, then you don't believe in Hell either, so when you die you can't go somewhere you don't believe in :D Just because that's what it says in the Bible doesn't mean it's true. The way I see it, 'Heaven' and 'Hell' are metaphors for your state of mind when you die. If you die filled with regret, shame, anger, etc, then you will 'go to Hell', you won't be able to rest in peace. If you die with a clean conscience, content with your life, at peace with yourself, and even though you did some bad stuff (everybody does, sometimes...) you're able to look in the mirror and forgive yourself, then you are in 'Heaven'. Heaven and Hell are a state of mind :DQuote:

For the people who tell you "Why not lead a good life so you go to heaven and not hell?" Who are they to say that there are such places? I believe Christianity to be a passing fad. Sure, it has been going on for thousands of years, but so have many other religions that have come and gone. Also, what about the people in ancient Greece who believed in the Gods? Were they completely stupid for their beliefs? And why did a lot of Greeks end up turning to Christianity? What do you think Christianity will be like a thousand years down the road? Also, what about pre-humans, or less evolved humans that lived millions of years ago? When you talk about Adam and Eve being the first humans, what about the less evolved that lived way before their time? Did they not have beliefs? I cannot answer any of these questions, and no one else can either, I just think it is a good thing to discuss. Plato believed that humans know about death before they even experience it, because death is a phase of the human soul. Man, this is making my brain hurt. I have to stop.
I can't wait to die and find out if I was right or wrong about God and about the universe. I don't think that existance CAN make sense because it has so many determining factors:
1. Someone/somthing needs to be there to percieve it for it even to exsist
2. Time, if time stops then so does existance like for example what will happen when the universe stops expanding and starts shrinking? Will time go backwars or will it change at all because movement/action cant be determined without time and time cant be determined without movement/action
3. We know probably like .0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000001% of everything like for example what is outside the universe? Where does the universe end what the fuck is the universe? questions like that.
I like questions like that, I think Im gonna start a new thread on this topic...
ERMITONTO!!!
Please don't compromise your stance!
You are RIGHT.
THe ONLY SELF EVIDENT TRUTH is our own consciousness. From each one of our perspectives, there is only one thing we can know- that we exist (only our consciousness though). Everything, everyone could possibly be an illusion, a trick, a dream.
One day you might wake up as free form energy hurtling through deep space, and the past twenty or so years have just been another dream. And you say, ah, that was a weird dream- I had a body, and was on a planet. Wellp, back to reality (maybe), flying through space in solitude, never encountering any other being or object. All I can know is that I exist.
Dude u smoke good shit will u post me some
:)
