What do you guys think is after Death

[iniquitous_beast]

Everything natural undergoes a cycle of death and recreation. Trees and animals rot, but their bodies become the elements of other animals' bodies. If spiritual matter obeys the same laws, then once we die, our souls will be reduced to their basic elements. Eventually, many of those elements will be reused in the construction of new souls - some animal, some human, and some plant. We will not be reborn as any one entity, but pieces of us will be present in many of the things that live after us.

If thats the case, we will never exist as the same consciousness and therefore we, as we are now will cease to exist.

To most people that would be the same as having nothing after life. And that is the thought which so many (including myself) find horrifying.

Nothing... However, aliens believe strongly in reincarnation, so, that might be an answer. But, alien also believe that there is no type of supreme God. Also, your spirit is part of an infinite number of spirits that are like your own so if you're reincarnated back on Earth you have the worst luck in the universe!

Nothing. The Bible states: "In death your thoughts do perish. You return to the dust in which you came." In other words its dreamless sleep. You cease to exist.

Think about being nothing. Having no mind to think. It is impossible to imagine what it would be like. That is why it is so scary.

wait but i thought the bible was suppose to be when you die you go to heaven or hell not a dreamless sleep now im confused..... God wants us to worship him so that when we die we can have dreamless sleep ......... thats just rough

It is horrifying because you still have a life ahead of you. Compare life to a game, in this instance. A young person is like a character who has not yet reached the end of the game. An older person, however, who has lived out most of his life, is more like a character who has completed his epic quest, and only now lingers in the game world to get a 100% completion rating. Once the excitement and the expectation is done, a player has nothing to look forward to except the next great game. In time, even the coolest character and game world loses its allure; and a gamer will happily trade it all away to start at lv.1 with a new character in a new world, with new adventures to look forward to.

The benefit of my belief, in this example, is that a person does not get jaded from too much accumulated life experience. When you start over, everything is magical and new to you once again; and your personal flaws are wiped away. You truly get to start fresh. That is something everybody can appreciate, since nobody can honestly say that there is not something about themselves that they wouldn't like to wipe away.

All religions hold some truth.
Those who deny that are truly lost in their dogmatism.

In my opinion, the major religions of today( Islam, Judaism, Christianity) are all distortions of one perfect truth. There are too many similarities between them to deny this completely.

Take for example in Christianity the story of Isaac. Isaac was told by God to sacrifice his newborn child in the name of The Lord. Isaac solemnly obeyed but just as he was about to slit the child's throat the Lord stopped him. He had passed the test of faith.

There is an exact replication of this in Islam but with a man named Ishmal.

You see, all religions are just the truth told from different perspectives. Is anything ever really the truth? No, at least not to the fullest degree.

if that was actually true then god would be a sicko
