1. Definitely would be "nothing". Not even a black void, just going to sleep and never waking up, no dreams to comfort you, no one left to help, just nothing.

2. Hell. Pretty self-explanatory, for most people this would be the worst, but nah, not for me, just kinda scary.

3. Being born again. Ok, so the only reason this one is here is because most of us are going to start a family one day, we'd like to see that family in the afterlife, or maybe someone we care about. But you lose your memories, and all traces of previous life, you have a new mother, your family is gone, everyone you love is gone, makes you get teary-eyed thinking about it, eh?

4. Death, is an illusion. Imagine after you "die" you find out that your whole life was an illusion, pretty sure I'd break down. No one could accept that, every friend you've ever made, everyone you've ever met, your video games, your family, everyone is gone, you have nothing. Now, as for what happens AFTER you "die" is an even bigger mystery, I'd like it to be a computer simulation even though it's most likely a test from higher beings (assuming this theory is true, but I doubt it.)

5. Being born as an animal. Live a carefree life, aside from the memories being gone and a shorter life depending on what animal you become. Though, that also means that you can't be as sophisticated, you will not have free will, and you will be a slave to humans. This one's just weird, but its religion for some people. Different Strokes.

The ONLY good afterlife would be Heaven, honestly.

In fact, it sounds beautiful, reuniting with past family and friends, keeping your memories, and living in paradise.

#1 wouldn't be depressing. It wouldn't be anything. Try imagining an experience you had before you were born? Basically that.

Your list is far from exhaustive, btw. There are various other options, and several variations of the ones you listed that would be different enough as to elicit a different synopsis.

I highly doubt you'll dream during that "nothing". Not that you'd be able to acknowledge it if you could.

nothing but the fields of Elysium my friends, nothing but the fields

1. Digi already answered this one. The thought of utter oblivion might be depressing now, while you're still alive, but you wouldn't be bothered by it in any shape or form once you're dead.

2. Yep, eternal torment sounds pretty awful alright.

3. Once again, thinking about it now is pretty sad, but you'd be oblivious to it after being reborn. For all we know, this life could be like your 50th reincarnation.

4. Well, this is an interesting one. You know, I don't think I would be all that incredibly heartbroken if, after my death, it turned out that I was a member of some kind of an advanced civilization who decided to plug himself into a computer simulation cause I was bored or whatever. In fact, it'd be pretty cool, especially compared to other theories about afterlife.

5. See #3.

i have always had this debate, is it better to be a consious force after death or just met oblivion

Uh, yeah. That's the point, its what makes Death so scary.

6. You actually never, die, your body colapses and you continue to feel everything as a skeleton and your remains are sensible

^ douche

Uh, that one kinda seems impossible.

because we all want to feel we are rotting slowly

You did list being reborn as a different animal, mine sounds impossible?

soul transfer and reformation VS conciously feeling being rotted away... damn

Going to sleep doesnt sound so bad.

7. The Dream of individual, mortal life is over as a small piece of the Dreamer wakes up.

lol love that you put video games ahead of family xD


i always thought eternal nothingness is likely to happen, for some reason, which is pretty depressing to think about. so its better to think about living.

It would be cool after we die we are just in a dream forever... So depending on your mind you will live in a heaven or hell that would suit you

I wouldn't mind being a ghost after i die. if i was a ghost though, i wouldn't be able to eat pizza, or anything else for that matter =\

If I was a ghost I'd walk into the White House, Area 51, and probably watch people shower because their would be nothing else to do after that

Wow, so that would fill, what, five days of your time? What would you do with the rest of eternity?

Dude, that's the point, there would be no dreams, you would just go to sleep and never wake up, you would become this unthinking, unfeeling, useless (sorry xD) object.

You die and that's it, there is nothing left for you.

Literally, you guys are taking it so likely, but I'd at least like a conscious afterlife over complete nothingness.

So yeah, I'd rather go to hell for all eternity, be burned constantly and live in eternal torment if it meant I got to keep my memories of my past life AND have a conscious afterlife.

Watch t.v haunt people, watch people make babies maybe go to concerts and football games

Ghosts are just part of Spectral Imaging.

Say you do the same thing every single day, if you were to die abruptly, spectral imaging would kick in, making your spirit do the same thing, depending on the thing that you're doing.

It's burned into life, as an image gets burned into an old tv.

You also can't harm corporeal forms, since you yourself would be an incorporeal form.

Though it wouldn't actually be YOU you. It would be your past self, your image continuing to do what you did everyday before you died.

Your real self would be in one of our afterlife's.

So you would rather live tortured than being pity killed.

That can be tested

No!

Maybe there are ghost pizza stores. We don't know. Could be.

Personally I've always found the idea of #3 comforting.

I truly believe in #1. As shit as it is, it makes the most sense to me.

Guys, I probably don't need to tell you this, but you can post your own after-life theories.

Didnt want to go off topic.

Wow, that's a lot of words

Dude. No you wouldn't.

A veritable wall of text.

All kidding aside though...some interesting stuff in there.

Dude. No you wouldn't. Yes I would.

It's as if you were asking to be tortured mate.

for a while yes but eternaty is a LONG time, believe me i wouldnt make it and would accept oblivion, and i am speaking from experience.

yes oblivion is a concept we cant truely grasp because when we ujnderstand enough of it it scaresd the bejibers out of us and we try to forget when we know we cant.

eventually we accept death and know we wont fear it anymore, heaven would be nice but i know it isnt there... wasnt when i tried

tipsy > spelling > life... nuff said

#3 always seemed pointless to me. If you lose your memory and identity, what's even the point of saying it's you?

if you lost your memories and identity, would you technically be dead?

like your body would live on /conciouness but your memories and personallity will have changed. so are you dead but still living ?

Its actually become worse over time.

I think about more and more how fast people's lives pass by. What am I going to do if faced with the afterlife?

Whats going to happen to my family, will I ever see them again, will they be the same family or just figments of my imagination?

Everything I've ever done, every laugh thats ever come from my mouth.

My mom, my grandmom. Just seeing it all go away, the thought of never seeing them again. You may not wanna think about it, but loved ones won't be here forever, and neither will you. You probably won't be there to see your great great grandkids grow up and get married.

You might die with your family all around you, die happy. But then afterlife hits, and you're left there, knowing you may never see them again.

I dunno about you, but my fear of death and loss just shuts me down at times.

I'll sit there wondering how my life would change, what if something happens to my son or daughter and I can't help them? What if I can't see my baby brother ever again?

Uh oh, looks like somebody is having a bout of thanatophobia/existential crisis. Don't worry, there's almost certainly no afterlife. There's only oblivion.

With the Oblivion route it isn't going to be bad at all. Because you won't exist. You won't experience anything because there will no longer be a YOU.
You really have no more meaning then that bug you stepped on once.

Here is a question, if heaven is real how do you feel dead spouses should be handled? So for example: A woman is married to this man, she loves him a lot. Tragically he dies at age 45. 5 years later she remarries. Within 2 decades both the woman and her new hubby pass away.

So..who is she going to be sexing it up with in the after life? Hubby #1 or hubby #2? Or both? Or neither? Who will she go off with for all eternity? Who SHOULD she go off with for all eternity?

Marriage Vows are only till Death do we Part as I recall.

And if there is a heaven I would hope it has got something better to offer then just "sex".

If the after life is real and you exist after your body shuts down then you aren't actually dead though.

Plus if marriage vows were taken seriously then nobody would ever get divorced lol. People don't take these vows seriously, how many people get married far too quickly? How many cheat on their spouses and don't even admit to it? How many just settle and stay with someone because they feel they can't do any better?

Marriage is such a joke these days I never got why people whined about gay marriage. Stop acting like the marriage between a man and woman are so damn sacred and holy, divorce rates say otherwise, so just what are these people trying to preserve?

What isn't a joke these days?

It may seem that way now, but you're not going to be bothered in the least by anything once you're actually dead.

I would think that the Beetlejuice version of the Afterlife could be pretty crappy. "What!? I am Dead and I still have to get a JOB!?"
