If something happens to us after death, what are we before life?

This thread is meant to humor those who believe in an afterlife. I personally believe that we go in the ground and never come back. Just gauging the opposite thought process.

Joke's on you, my ashes will be scattered across the seven seas. No ground for me.

Serial killers & child molesters get reincarnated as penguins.

We were an undeveloped egg in the fetus of our mother while she was in the whom of her mother. That's going back as far as you can.

Considering in most instances there's slowly diminishing electrical activity in the brain after we die, I assert that we all slowly and agonizingly relive the worst parts of our lives before blinking out of existence forever.

Why the worst parts? Why not the best parts?

I want to relive the best parts; all two of them.

Lower your expectations, so that they are either met or surpassed.

I guess that week I spend in that Mexican jail wasn't all that bad when you lower your expectations.

You came out alive and presumably without too many tattoos, so success.

He wants the Mormon answer. Wrong forum for this question.

Mormons believe the spirit (or intelligence) has existed for eternity and will always exist.

But Mormons are wrong at everything that doesn't involve singing and dancing.

And procreation.

The mormans also believe that the Garden of Eden was in Missouri

Haven't you seen St. Louis? I mean, come on.

I welcome a good death.

But why does it matter if nothing follows death.... I mean if it didn't matter wouldn't it be irrelevant?

I believe there is something, what? I can't say.

Time lasts forever even in the after life.

Possibly because time is relative, and when you have no sensations, time can seem like eternity.

How do you know time lasts forever?

I believe that time is finite, and therefore there will be an end to time, just like there was a beginning of time at the BB.

Good question, maybe Time Immemorial has has a near death experience.

Did you know they place symbols and messages above the ceiling in hospitals and operating theaters (out of sight for people) to test for people that claim to have seen themselves during near death experiences from above when dying.

I don't believe in a soul, so there is nothing that could rise above the body. What is more likely is that the person who is dying is hearing everything that is going on and visualizing the event in their minds.

I know there is usually a scientific explanation for everything but some stuff can be difficult to explain and as a scientist everything must be explained rationally. I'm on the fence, I want to believe in this as it is comforting but I do try to explain everything... Out of body experiences can possibly be experienced by taking certain drugs, I have never taken any but can anyone confirm?

Try imagining a room that you are not in, but have been before. I can imagine my living room, and in my mind I can walk around in that room. But I am also aware of my surroundings right now, so I know I'm not walking around my living room. Take away all stimuli, and I might just think I was in my living room.

The world around me all takes place in my head. I only know the difference between imagination and reality because I am awake. If I am dying, I might not be able to tell the difference.

Love is as strong as death. A disciple said that. Means you can die and still be as strong as when you lived.

Why do you continue to imagine me, then?

No.

What? I don't imagine you. Do you imagine yourself, and what does this have to do with anything I said?

Why would not having an end entail not having a beginning?

Because linear human relativity.
