EDGEHEAD15 Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 Reincarnation. I could believe with my family and think i'll go to heaven. I could hope that I am reincarnated as another being [human please haha] I could dread that I'll just die and nothing will happen And if there is no soul, explain ghosts? Explain what about them? That they're as much as a myth as souls themselves? That they are more a work of fiction and can actually be strongly disproved? Reverse logic fallacy, you cannot prove a negative. I believe most things like ghost, souls etc are not understood yet, and most are misinterpretations. If you want to talk about evidence, there is enough anecdotal evidence out there to win a court case. Evidence, not proof. I have fallen into my own trap. I am ashamed. SEPPUUUKKKUUUUUU!!!

DarkPassenger Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 The way I see it after death our spirit energy goes into things we create where we live in the other world. For example the creator of Dragonball Z will become Goku. We create our own death world in this world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kαятik Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 Actually, scientifically, the OP is closer to the truth than you may think. You do indeed become another being, but it's not incarnation as you think. Rather, it's the dispersion of atoms from the decay of your body that is spread through the air and, as all atoms are interconnecting and can at any point connect with each other, your atoms and particles more than likely will indeed become a part of someone else's body. In fact, there is something like a 97% chance that you have a particle in your body that came from the last breath of Julius Caesar. It's a beautiful rebirth that all started with the death of a star and will end with the birth of another. This really made my day which I never thought would happen in a thread about death Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my explanation. I don't believe in any other consciousness than that created by the brain. Once the brain stops functioning, that's it. No soul, no ghosts, nothing.

I highly doubt there is a 97% chance that a particle in anyone here's body came from the last breath of Julius Caesar. I fully understand the idea that atoms are "recycled" for lack of a better word and that we are comprised of the same specific building blocks as previous humans and other things were. But the odds of a person having a particle that came directly from a specific famous ruler from antiquity have to be a whole lot lower than 97%.

RatedREdgecution Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 I think there should be a heaven, but not sure what it would be like. I think about this a lot and it really scares me for some reason. I hope at least something happens instead of absolutely nothing. That seems scariest of all things to me, not sure why.

TheDeadZepp Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 My Grandmother died in the hospital after giving birth and she said she was looking down on her body. She was then revived by paramedics. I believe that what ever you believe in happens after death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy. Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 You make your comeback as a WWE Superstar and go on to build an undefeated WrestleMania streak. In all seriousness though, it's something I've always found interesting and wanted to know. I believe that your soul just gets carried to the Heaven/Hell (depending on your deeds), leaving your body behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even cooler, considering a molecule is larger than a particle... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sacrilegium Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 When you die, you're dead. You rot in the ground or you're burned in the crematory or you're frozen in ice or you're digested in the belly of the whale or whatever. No brain = no mind. No mind = no you. Sorry, folks. The light you see when you die, is just you coming out of a vagina, being reborn. Interestingly enough, there's a perfectly reasonable explanation for the light people see when they die. Color, shape and texture are all "filled in" to our perception by our eyes and our brain. The normal default thing to see is "blank." Vision is a white sheet of paper until your brain & eyes fill it in. The reason you see light is that your brain is dying and it's not able to do its thing like it normally does.
