Venting After death?

[greyback330]

What do you think about after death?
For me as a muslim (or a former Muslim idk..) it's so horrible as I'm not religious at all and the stories i heard in my childhood about torture in the grave and in after life.
And the ceremonies of burial omg this is terrifying me.

I'm Christian. The only thing stopping me from killing myself is my fear of Hell. Suicide is a sin comparable to murder, as it is seen as "self murder", and since you'll die before you can ask for forgiveness, there's almost no way out of Hell.

It's really horrifying. I don't want to be tortured for all of eternity.

I totally understand and feel this unfortunately

Yeah... I still have my faith too, and don't expect to give it up. I'm hated by my own people though and don't want to end up marrying any of them or becoming a nun or something. Dying would make my life easier.

Tbh, I'm not really afraid of the whole Hell thing.
Doesn't matter what would happen to me since I would get used to it at some point like I got used to not getting appreciated for the work I did at my previous workplace. Even the rudest costumer I met, was definetly better than the $hithole, where I was going every day and got only complains from my boss and manager.

Maybe I'll go to haven, when I kill myself without putting the life of others at danger like I did the first time when I "tried to do it".
Maybe I would "respawn" in an other world as a slave and will get bought by some woman who would make my life better from my current one.
Or maybe I be reborn in year 2077, where I would get put into an new body and would something like Google AR Glasses built into my vision lenses.
Who knows. There is only one way to find this out and there is no way to share the knowledge of it to the public in this world.

Religions used to scare the sh*t outta me with their after death theories.
I read the Koran, The Bible and some holy scriptures from the Jehovah's witnesses and I just find them just absurd and depressing. There is no real evidence of anything. It will always be just a matter of faith.

Having said this, I think when we die there are two options: (I also posted this a while ago on another thread)

1) Once we're dead, we log out from this simulation and wake up in the real world, understanding the purpose of everything.

2) Death is just eternal nothingness, just like the time before we were born.

Thus, even though I may be wrong, I'm not scared of death at all because there shouldn't be a hell, I mean, aren't we already living in one?

Baba Vanga said that there are thousands of religions but the most important is to stay a good person. And this is what I believe in.

I would like to think when we die, we are reborn into a happier life somewhere other than here or simply just vaporize.

Religion is scary as it is comforting for me. I don't agree with the concept of hell in my religion because sending someone to an eternity of torture just for picking the wrong religion or not believing in anything at all seems cruel. Not to mention a bit unfair given that where we are born plays a huge role on what religion we have. Also heaven although not as scary as hell (for obvious reasons) seems unreal given that its a pure place with no sin at all. So I wonder if I go there will I even be a bit of the same person as I was on earth(because honestly i'm a bit flawed af). Anything that's for eternity makes me nervous tbh.

I completely understand. I'm more of a lasped Christian, spiritually agnostic materially minded( I'm still working out my beliefs lol) sort of guy. Yet this is also another fear I have. Although more unconscious then anything. Literally being thrown to hell after I kill myself only to be tortured for the rest of my days. Life's already torture, but now I have to be tortured again and even worst. That's honestly horrifying to me. Suffering will find you no matterv what you do, thats just so screwed up i my opinion.

If it makes you feel slightly better, just know that this " Suicide is a Sin." was made by St. Augustine originally and the Catholic Church ran with it because a) they saw it as logical and b) it helped with the payment of their taxes and to have more followers. Especially for the corrupt churches. Also theres this theology/theory called Christian Anhillition that argues that argues that when we die, he either go to heaven and have " eternal life." or we fall down the abyss and " perish.' No longer in this Earth. Your soul is gone.

The Prohibition of Suicide for Affirmation of Human Beings by Augustineâ©

In this paper I examine Augustineâs argument about suicide. As is generally known, Augustine argues that suicide is a sin even if it is for saving our honour. This prohibition of suicide is opposite to traditional Roman thought. There was a tradition of people who did not hesitate to die for...

The Case for Annihilationism - Greg Boyd - ReKnew

Annihilationism is the view that whoever and whatever cannot be redeemed by God is ultimately put out of existence. Sentient beings do not suffer eternally, as the traditional view of hell teaches. While I am not completely convinced of this position, I think it is worthy of serious...

I believe when I die I will go to Heaven, because I accepted Jesus as my Savior.

This is the conclusion I've also come too.
