Bbbbbbut, you did ask...

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

*twinkles mischievously**

I know xD

That's what makes it depressing.

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.

Dude. No you wouldn't.

A veritable wall of text.

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

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

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


#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.

THATS WORSE!

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.
