What comes after death?

[ValkyrieAg]

Are there any Realists in this thread?

When I was 6 years old, my dad took me to a beef slaughter house in Corpus Christi. We were just there to sign some orders and contracts and whatnot. While I was standing there eating my sandwich on the kill floor, I could see the feet of the cattle that were once running around the brush country of south texas. They were coming up a ramp. You could see their feet and their nose smelling around confused as to where this ramp leads to. At this time, a man with a steel prod with a .22 caliber cartidge 'pops' the animal in the head with the steel pin. It is designed to destroy the motor functions of the animal. (you can't strap a 2500lb steer to a conveyer when its kicking, time is money). It hits the skids to the kill floor, they strap it up, and within 30 feet on that conveyer, they were totally skinned and headless. They use a forked winch to rip off the skin. There you really see an organism 'naked'. Right then and there, at 6 years old, I realized that there is absolutely NOTHING after death. Darkness is all you will find. Good thing is that the moment you are dead, you most likely won't really care. Your body decomposes and is used as a fuel by another organism. After I realized this, I finished my sandwich and never questioned death again.

Maybe in candy land something special happens to your 'soul'. Not in this world.

reality is overrated.

as for there being nothing after death, that is just simply physically impossible, because energy does not get destroyed, it only changes.


DEATH is an illusion, there is only LIFE and CHANGE.


when you die, sure, the previous you, your ego, your current sense of self, will become absolute nothingness, as YOU CHANGE. YOU are still there, but your EGO, who you CURRENTLY THINK YOU ARE, will ceace to be.


sure, you can try your damnedest to hold on to that, and just waste your existence, haunting places, but there is really so much more for your energy to be used for.

energy does not die, it only changes.

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.

Dude, I LOVE when peole come up with this kinda stuff.

energy does not die, it only changes.

but it can cease to be produced. like in a power plant, when the turbines stop turning there is no energy produced.
there for when the DNA strand in your brain cells loose to much information on how to produce energy from differant chemicals in the blood, there is no more energy being produced so the end result is death.

ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL!!!!!!!



turbines just convert one form of energy into another!!!



all there IS is energy, and infinite different manifestations thereof.


death is just changing energy from a living organism to something else, like dirt.


what is the energy that holds dirt together? can dirt die? if not, then neither can we, only experience mass changes of our energy and body.

i dont get why people even think about it. Theres no way of knowing until you die, theres no point in wasteing your life preparing for a afterlive, Life is the only thing you should care about.

[Stoner Shadow Wolf]

"should" is a matter of opinion, and i appreciate you sharing yours

[bong_man]

point well taken

I'm personally a Christian, and believe in the Christian views of the after life, but I don't think many of these so called "sins" the church preach out against are acually in the Bible.
