I basically posted the same thing somewhere in this thread, I thought I was the only one that thought of death as the same was as what life was like before I was born. This idea seems like the most logical. I mean to me the whole question of "what happens after you die" is based on the humans inability to comprehend an end to time. It is also a scary thought, that this life we have now is all there really is to life as we know it, so naturally we use our powerful brain to create fantasy ideas and worlds to make us feel more comfortable with death. But unfortunately I'm too much of a realist to believe in such nonsense. I wish I could believe in some rosy dream such as heaven, or even hell, but time has shown throughout history that religion is mostly just a comfort pillow for the mind in regards to death rather than a logical answer to an unanswerable question.
