What do you think happens when you die?

Although I'm all up for an after-life, I'm pretty sure we just cease to exist. Do you remember anything before you were born? It will be just like that.
 
It's very disconcerting to me that at the end of your life there is simply "nothing." I have real difficulty accepting any of the Judea-Christian explanations of the Afterlife. If anything I think a form of reincarnation is more likely.
 
I dunno, but I'll probably find out soon since I might just end my life very soon, due to many life problems currently going on (with senior project hurting my chances to graduate in May).

Probably nothing. I doubt most will care about it since I haven't really contributed anything worthwhile to society IMO (If anything, I've been a huge burden to people). My parents will probably be sad, but that's about it.

I'll probably be gone, forever, never living another life again (meaning no afterlife). I don't know if I'll make it to heaven or go in some world filled with flames. I just don't know.

Awww, don't kill yourself Manaknight, there are a lot of CAGs that would be very hurt because they care about you if you did (myself included....hotstuff).

Seriously though, has anybody noticed that there are two threads that have something in the title about dieing right next to each other? A coincidence, or G-d trying to tell us there is a heaven? Get the full story at 8!

Don't do that..... :cry:

But if you do, Can I have all your PS3 stuff?
 
I try not to think about it too much. When I do it always comes back to the same underlying philosophical question: do I believe in re-incarnation, or do I follow the heaven/hell mythos which I've been exposed to over the years ad nauseum (note: i'm not christian)

yep. :I
 
[quote name='pittpizza']I really really hope and pray there is an afterlife. I'd say I'm 50/50: you either rot in the ground/eternity of nothingness, or heaven.

Sometimes I think about how good life has been to me, or sometimes when I'm out in nature, like walking through the deep forest or on the ocean or on top of a mountain in the rockies, I get this overwhelming feeling that it is all just too perfect. Life is just too good for something bigger than myself not to be looking after me; things just work together too well.

Other times I'll be laying awake a night, praying to G-d simply to exist. "Please G-d, exist, let there be heaven." I'll try to imagine what it is like to not-exist anymore and I get this terrifyingly empty feeling, like I am nothing, a tiny minute blip in the history of the universe that ultimately will mean absolutely nothing in the grand scheme of things. Dust in the wind.

So basically I wish I had more faith in the afterlife, and will continue to hope that there is one, but have serious doubts.

In conclusion, every day above ground is a good day. Carpe diem! For it may be your last.[/quote]


+1 to this.

I suspect nothing happens, you just simple cease to exist.

TMK, no matter how bad life is, ending it is never the answer. Imagine never feeling the warmth of the sun again, or the wind in your face, or laughing. Death is a finality that you can't escape from, an empty void. Surely any life has got to be better than that.

I remember thinking about death a lot in the summer of 1998 after I was hit by a drunk driver one night and what a close call it was and everything but then I remembered that the first real 3D Zelda was coming out in a few short months and I thought - I'll be so pissed if I die and never get to play it. It's not like I was going to kill myself or anything because that's just crazy talk but still - all things pass.

I have to believe there is something after all this, as for what well that remains to be seen. I do enjoy theories of multiple planes of reality and dimensions so who know we might just move on to the next level (World 1-2). But I swear to you if I get Toad telling me that my princess is in another castle...

If there truly is nothing I'm just going to show up as a pissed off ghost somewhere. But I do try to enjoy each day making sure the people around me know that I care about them because one thing is certain life is short.

Seriously, suck it up. There are countless other people who have it worse than you. Just go out there and find something worth living for. It certainly is not going to drop right in front of you. If you keep dwelling on your faults, it's going to get you no where. You seem like a great person, it's just it seems like you make no effort to advance yourself. Who cares what others think, do what makes you happy. Look out for numero uno. All this negativity makes everyone else a downer.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Sure I hate the PS3, but I sure don't want your life to be ruined!

I hope everything turns out well for you, man.
 
How old is TMK? Saying you haven't contributed anything to society is something you say when you're 60, not 20.

EDIT: Regardless, don't kill yourself.

Anyway, let's just say I'm very disappointed with my life, what I have done, and dealing with a lot of problems, which is why I want my life to end most of the time. However, I will stop all discussion about it here. If you are curious about more, we can talk elsewhere (like via PMs).

Like I said before, I somewhere worry about where I'll go when I die because I kind of stopped going to church after I moved (mostly because church was quite a distance from me), but I still do some readings occasionally. I'd like to get more involved in religious stuff to maybe make me feel better or have a better idea of what may happen (like daroga said). I really hope I go up, and not down. That continues to be one of my biggest worries. I still need to learn more, regardless.

That's exactly how I feel...but what I feel worst about is knowing that some of my relatives are already gone, not that I will be. But when I really look deep down (and I'm being honest) I actually believe that there is a god and a heaven. It may be wishful thinking, but I really think that Jesus and all of the others were on to something.

Right ater Jesus was excecuted, Christianity spread like wildfire, especially in Rome. Many, many of them died as martyrs...

But what I'm saying is that in this globalized world of ours, it's becoming harder and harder to believe in God. I personally believe this is a sort of test to us. I don't believe that people who "fail" the test will go to hell or anything, but I genuinely believe that this is a time of struggle for our faiths, and we should try to hold on to them.

Besides, what is there to lose? Spending your life believing in the afterlife is better than dreading the end. And anyways, as William Buckley once said, the worst mortal sin that a man can commit is living life in despair.

And this isn't coming from some guy who has been screwed over endlessly. I couldn't imagine a better life- I'm going to a high school, one of the best in the world, for free, I have a loving family, and we're not poor or anything.

So Mana, what does it mean if you fail your senior project and don't graduate in May? Worst case scenario... you take the class again in the fall? You've gotta think things through. I don't think your life can possibly be anywhere near as shitty or desperate as you think it is.
 
At this point I believe we just cease to be, but another part of me wishes that reincarnation is real. I would love a chance to start over again.

Wait, WHAT?!
 
interesting thread, i used to freak out about this a lot, especially after walking away from a pretty brutal car wreck without a scratch on me, and it was a pretty shitty/scary thought, i've since then kinda just hoped that there is something for us out there when it's all over, but i still have my doubts, not religious, which probly adds to that, but i've found it better to really just not think about it so much, cuz all it does is freak me out, it's good to just be happy and live life to the fullest, cuz it's the only one you get (most likely)
 
TMK, I know I gave you shit before. Hell, at one point you were even one of the reasons I was going to quit coming to CAG, but that was because I was blinded by video games and I felt like what I said carried more weight than other people.

Truth is, you don't seem like that bad of a guy, and hell you don't even seem like you got that bad of a life.

So you fucked a wee bit in school. You wanna know what's up with my education? I've been stuck at a 2-year community college for FOUR years. I flunked out twice, and it'll be another year before I graduate. That's FIVE years, for a communty college; I say I'm gonna hit up a real college when I'm through, but I think everyone knows I'm bullshitting.

Meanwhile, the woman I loved mad me out to be some fuck toy for her. She'll never give that love back, she even said it herself. Meanwhile she's touting around my kid.

Oh, let's not forget the alcoholism. I used to not feel confortable around women unless I was drunk, then it turned into I wasn't confortable around ANYONE unless I was drunk, and now it's a "I'm just not happy till I'm wasted" Even now, I'm telling you this I've had quite a bit to drink.

Yeah, some people (mostly the OOT crowd) can't stand your undying love of Sony. But at least you got people that give a shit bout you here. Honestly I think have the people here hate my guts, and the other half has me on their ignore list.

I know, I know I've thought about (and even attempted to) off myself numerous times, but those times I was seriously out of control from a combination of drugs, booze, lack of sleep and / or just being heart broken. It's not worth taking your life, your life doesn't seem that bad and if you ever need a reason to keep on living, just look at my life. At least you're not me.
 
When i was younger my mom read me the "Book of revelations" ...That shit fucked me up bad...real bad. I had nightmares almost every night that jesus was going to come down from the heavens and stick my head on pike for all eternity in the burning flames of hell. I was afraid to sleep at night for fear i would die in my sleep and wake up in hell.






fuck DAT SHIT!!!!




That experience has left me seriously jaded towards any sort of religion, I just go with the flow and try not to piss off too many people...If im a good person than I'll let the universe decide where i go, if not than fuck it...ive had a good run and whatever happens, Heaven/Hell/Nothingness/Bliss/limbo/reincarnation...I dont give a shit anymore....I live in the here and now.


Dont worry about that death shit, it'll only kill you faster.
