I know it's impossible to be objective, but if you really, really try to be objective - what do you think happens?
I feel like I'm not really educated enough to comment. But I feel like the most likely thing is that death is nothingness. Brain activity is gone, so I am too.
I suppose I am just still so scared of hell after reading Christian websites as a child. I still have thoughts like "the devil is making me go on this website. The devil is tricking me". But maybe it's the Christians who were tricking me. I don't know who to trust. Who to believe. Maybe I'm being put through this because I deserve to suffer. Maybe I'm already in a mini-hell.
Christian apologists try to give logical arguments as to why believing in Christianity is a rational worldview (and there are some apologists for other religions).
Honestly, I just feel too stupid to weigh up the arguments, but I don't feel convinced by anything I've read.
I'm no historian, so I can't weigh up whether the evidence for the Resurrection is "good" evidence or not.
Then some people believe in reincarnation but I feel like the evidence for this is very weak. Near death experiences have other explanations. Children "remembering" past lives has other explanations. I don't think any scientist would take this seriously. But I'm ignorant and open to having my mind changed. It's just very difficult to avoid cognitive bias.
