Discussion What do you believe comes after death?

[disappearingquietly]

Simply self-explanatory. I want to kill myself, but at the same time, I don't exactly want to burn in eternal hellfire.

Don't know and it scares the crap out of me.

I believe that either you experience the eternal void as before birth, or, something like what NDEs describe of reuniting with the all loving creator (not the Christian God but the universe itself sort of ) and then you either choose to reincarnate or you rest for some time in the afterlife. There are people who have experienced hellish ndes but this is thought to be a byproduct of what they were experiencing at the time of death and they were rescued if they called out for help. In short I don't really believe in hell or a hellish afterlife.

Literally. Wish there was an answer.

Yeah. I don't get how an "all-loving" god could send one of his creations to eternal hellfire.

I believe death to simply be nothingness, death is the absence of everything where one is unconscious for all eternity where they cannot suffer anymore or be harmed in any way. And this is why I find so much comfort in death as nothingness is all I wish for, under no circumstances would I wish for something as cruel, torturous and painful as existence where there is all this endless suffering and torment, personally I'd be relieved to never exist again, I wish to never experience anything at all.

I believe that we get what we always wanted, you want to go to heaven? You'll go there, you want eternal peace? You'll get it

 

[eden101]

i want heaven

 

[fade to black]

There's an argument to be made that we're already burning in an internal hellscape. It could be a simulation or a dream, also. Whatever it is, too many people are suffering to make an argument that it's a good place.

I would like to believe in Rebirth but i think there is just nothing After death, just like there is before birth.

I've always believed in god even with being trans so I just automatically assume heaven. At the same time, people, even ones really close to me, have hated me so relentlessly these past years after transitioning that it makes me wonder sometimes if god hates me too. Although idk why god would be obsessed with people's genitals and sex characteristics like that though lol

 

[3/4Dead]

remember what it was like before you were born? i assume its like that.

 

[freakshow]

I wish to be reincarnated but when I think about it, it probably woudnlt be a good ideia. theres a high chance i will be born in a 3rd world shithole, i could be born male again, i could be just as ugly as i am again.. unless i can choose how I wanna be reborn i think id rather cease to exist and go to complete nothingness than run the lottery again.
heaven seems boring
hell is just torture

 

[divinemistress36]

Another dimension of some sort

 

[Oyasumidanny]

i just wish religion is wrong, i would be so scared to know that theres a God and that he decided to ignore all my prayer (also bc i know i will be goignto hell idk)

 

[MaidenException]

I don't know and that's what scares me. What if this is all there is and I've spent it miserable? What if there's nothing better on the other side?

 

[Danby]

That's another thing holding me back . . . what happens next? Is there an afterlife? Are we reincarnated? Do we simply cease to exist?

 

[disappearingquietly]

These are the two things that I'd be happy with after death. 1. Reincarnation on an alien world. 2. Nothingness. Both very appealing in their own regards.

 

[bestroper]

eternal peace

 

[ijustwishtodie]

Permanent non existence

omg hi! saw your pfp and freaked (in a good way lol). also I understand your perspective. i personally despise the idea of reincarnation and don't understand why many people are so fond of it. i mean bruh, going to live this life AGAIN? in THIS world? without remembering anything at all? eh, i'd prefer afterlife

I'm an ex-evangelical, and I don't believe anything comes after death. But every now and then the shadow of my indoctrination seeps through.

I honestly am not scared of being dead, I'm curious, but at the same time I don't believe I'll experience it. I've always been more afraid of how I die, because I've experienced enough pain in my life and don't necessarily want to go out that way. But if I keep failing that may change.

One thing I find interesting is the thought experiment about Botlzmann brains. If you're not familiar, look it up. I don't believe it, but it's a nice thought to think maybe one day I'll come back as a disembodied consciousness as a result of physics fuckery. On the other hand, what if I am one now?
