Discussion What convinced you that there is nothing after death?

[Chabrychek]

What was most convincing? Was it a philosopher? A book? Your own thoughts?

 

[pthnrdnojvsc]

thoughts and books.

to me the basics of logical thinking : the only things you can believe are true :

1. if something can be observed then it's true
boggles my mind how can you believe something that you haven't seen that hasn't been observed by anyone . only that some human says they saw or it how it is. i'm not buying it.

there is no observation of any afterlife or reincarnation, no spirits soul ghosts nothing magical ever

2. is there a lot of reproducible evidence can an experiment or test be replicated then its' a fact

3. does it make sense reasoning from first principles.

if its not any of these then it can't be true.

this afterlife and reincarnation idea. there is no evidence , no observations, no reproducible evidence. and it doesn't make sense just from basic knowledge of how the world or reality works.

books on neuroscience and the brain like

the Brain by david Eagleman

molecular cell biology

books on logic and critical thinking

books on evolution .

books on physics . law of entropy ,

humans want power, influence to get attention from others or money. so they will make up all sorts of tales and lies to get these. it's very easy to make up something to say something . to show details ,proof , evidence or to show how it works then that's difficult and where these lies are exposed.

furthermore there is a lot of real evidence of how the universe works and that human is just another animal. consciousness is generated only by the brain. evolution is true humans evolved like all other animals from a single cell. a human is an animal, cells, chemical reactions, a machine, molecules, atoms. all these are understood well by science and tech so that there is no reason , room for , nor possibility for a soal

But how do you feel about the fact that, still, the vast majority of people believe in something after death? How can you not doubt your own logic and facts, when the majority of other conscious beings "believe"? I don't think I'm smarter than others, so it's hard to come to terms with how it looks

I am not convinced that there is nothing after death, but I don't believe in hell nor heaven.

The general idea of hell was invented out of fear that human species won't have a moral compass without some kind of threat (being sent to hell) or reward. At least this is what I believe

For me, this is not something to prove with logic or rationality: for those of us that yearn for a fair and better world, we WILL get rewarded for being in this painful and unjust life. There IS going to be something for us in the afterlife. I believe in that.

I really hope it will be like that. If anything, hell is here on earth. We deserve a far better world than whatever this is right now. I hope there is an afterlife and I'll meet kind people there at least.

Yes. We deserve something much better
