What do you think happens when you die?

Question

I need to write an essay about what happens when you die, and I sort of want your opinions. Oh and please vote for what you think happens too:
1. reincarnation
2. eaten by worms
3. heaven or hell
4. transcend to a higher place of existence
5. other (please specify)

Thanks! =)

Answer 1

I have my fantasies and I will stick with them. It is, I suppose, my way, of dealing with death.
I will be cremated, no worms crawling through my body.
Religion is there to control mankind. We live in hell and I would like to believe there is a heaven.
But, when your dead, your dead. End of story.
Ashes to ashes----------dust to dust.

Answer 3

When you die you get eaten by the worm. We all dream and fantasies about our life to continue in some other way, ut dead is dead. Despite all philosophies and religious assumptons it is really over. Nobody ever came back [not even gods] to tell us otherwise. All other answers are just wishes, not more nothing less.
That is the reason to live a good life now and be nice now. No after life to make up for your bad behaviour.

Answer 4

Suppose you're at the beach and you make a nice big fancy sandcastle, complete with moat and turrets and so on. Later, the tide comes in and washes it all away - the sand gets spread around the beach and all trace of your sandcastle disappears.

Where did it go? Well, clearly the castle didn't 'go' anywhere as such - it was a temporary arrangement of grains of sand that went to make up something recognisable to us, and when the sea washed it away, it simply ceased to exist. Another day, someone else might come along and make another castle using some of the same sand that went into your castle, but the one you made is gone and can never exist again.

This is how it is with human beings - we are recognisable to ourselves and others as living organisms, but fundamentally we are temporary constructions of atoms and molecules and will one day simply cease to exist. Just as the sandcastle consists solely of the sand from which it is made, so human beings consist solely of the atoms and molecules of which they are made. When we die, our bodies will be returned to the environment to be incorporated into new living organisms, or to fall as rain, or to make the bedrock of a million years from now. We are ephemeral creatures, a brief pattern of order and complexity imposed on the raw material of the natural world. We should make the most of it, for this is all there is.

Answer 5

IN scientific language, I would say that dead body is eaten by worms....

But in common or from religious point of view, I would say that body's soul either goes to hell or heaven....

I would not support ur 4th option i.e, transcend to higher place of existence bcoz beside earth there is no place existence

Answer 6

2. is something that happens to your body, not to you. You just stop existing. Remember before you were conceived? It's exactly like that.

There is no evidence to suggest 1, 3, or 4 - they're fantasies for people who cannot deal with reality.

Answer 7

no matter what everbody says,it's 3.How do I know this.Well go kill yourself and then you'll either be in heaven or hell.You cant just die and stop existing.That would be pointless.There would be no point of existing then.The answer is 3 and thats final.You cant argue with answer 3.The atheists are wrong but they just dont know it yet.You cant just die.You cant just have nothing when you die.You either go to heaven or hell.Everyone who says its 3 is right.I can help you more if you mark me as your best answer.

Answer 8

i used to tell my children i wanted them to put my ashes into snow-globes, but thinking about it, even though I'm not big on dignity, that would be rather undignified. so i told them that there is a little valley, sheltered from the Atlantic wind, in Connemara where fuscias grow to be trees. i told them to plant a fuscia sapling and fertilize it with my ashes. so when i die, even though the 'I' part of me will be gone, disappeared into non-existence, part of me will be in that fuscia tree for a couple of hundred years in that beautiful valley below the mountain peaks that hold up the sky.

Answer 9

Let me guess, this is for some kind of religious class??? No teacher in their right mind would encourage their students to write an essay about what happens after death. This is clearly an attempt by a religious elder trying to scare you into believing what you are told about religion.

Answer 10

Nothing. You just...pass on, so to speak. I think heaven and hell are creations of men, in our mind. There is no heaven or hell other than this. Also, reincarnation is also in our minds.

Another thought is that, probably the soul moves on to another dimension, and leaves the body behind.
