Are there people out there who still believe that when you die you cease to exist in any way?

Question

I used to hear people say that when you die it was blackness, or nothingness, I know that's not true, and I haven't run into many people who believe this lately. So what do you think?

What about energy can neiher be created nor destroyed. Is the energy left over in your carbon based vessal equal to that wich you contain today?

Answer 1

That's what I believe.

Answer 2

Yes, when we die we cease to exist, the only exception is the remnant of the 144,000 who are still on the earth, when they die, they will be transformed in the twinkling of an eye to be with God and his Son, Christ Jesus in heaven and the others of the 144,000 who are already there. The rest of us who die,(before Armageddon, as those who die at Armaggeddon that are being judged for their sins won't be resurrected), or at Armageddon who aren't dying for their wickedness will be resurrected back to life on a paradise earth. Read Genesis 2:7, Ezekiel 18:4, Ecclesiastes 9:5,10, Revelation 14:1-5, 1 Corinthians 15:51,52, John 5:28,29, John 11:25, Acts 24:15, Psalms 37:11,29. Give thought to this, when we die there is nothing but the hope of being resurrected back to life by God through his Son, Christ Jesus, so, we are unaware of anything when we are dead, so we do not know the passage of time, so when we close our eyes in death we will instantly,to us since we are unaware of time, open them again to life on a paradise earth.

Answer 3

You don't KNOW that's not true, you believe that it's not true. I don't think there is anything after life but becoming fertilizer. I hope I'm wrong, but I have not seen anything to make me believe in an afterlife. In the abscene of any possible data or evidence, one can't know.

Answer 4

I believe that when we die, we're dead. No "blackness" - even blackness is a form of existence.

Why do I believe this? Because there is a lack of evidence pointing towards an afterlife.

Answer 5

What? After you die, there will be no thought for you to understand that there is nothingness/blackness (why not whiteness?)

Your "soul" is electricity in your brain. Your "emotions" are endorphins released by your brain and the "emotions" are controlled by the limbic system.

Answer 6

Yes, most people of higher intelligence. Some believe in reincarnation, which is much more logically plausible than a deity who sends all those who choose the right to eternal bliss and all those who choose the wrong religion to eternal suffering.

Answer 7

How do you know that's not true? Have you died and come back to life? NO. It's what YOU believe.Typical self-righteous crap. I don't know what happens when humans die, but I certainly don't believe in heaven or hell.

Answer 8

Why WOULDN'T you believe it? It's tough to think about not thinking, but we won't think when we're dead. The body stops functioning, and the brain is part of the body.

Answer 9

I believe the Jehoviah Witnesses (pardom my spelling) believe this to a certain extent. It is suppose to dpend on who dies and how they have lived their lives.

Answer 10

many people believe in different ways.yes. some people believe in complete darkness, others believe in life after death, and there's always one who believes in heaven.

Answer 11

We never die.Jesus Christ said,I knew your name before the fondation of the earth.That means He knew us before the big bang.We ether live forever with Christ,or burn forever in hell.Those who believe it's just nothing,will have vary RUDE WAKE UP!
