I always think it's funny how people make fun of beleivers in an afterlife (christians, muslims, jews, etc) as if they're brainwashed idiots...and YET, atheists are doing the EXACT SAME THING by stating they know WITH CERTAINTY, what happens to one's conciousness after they die...but atheists are somehow more logical and enlightened? I think not...
Here's my theory on what happens to our conciousness after we die...and the answer is...I DON'T KNOW. I repeat, I DON'T KNOW. I think saying "I don't know", is BY FAR, the most intelligent answer. And the reason, is we all share 1 thing in common...NONE OF US HAVE DIED YET! So the form of agnosticism that admits it is a fundamentally unknowable answer (until one dies), has always made the most sense.
It's funny really, pretending you "know" one way or the other.
It's like if I never opened a closet in my house, but i claim to "know" what's in it. Foolish, wouldn't it be? Both beleivers and atheists are guilty of that logic.
