What will happen when we die?

Question

Obiously we all have different views on life. So what do you think will happen when you die?

Answer 1

"There is no conclusive evidence of life after death. But there is no evidence of any sort against it. Soon enough you will know. So why fret about it?" ~"Time Enough For Love" by Robert Heilein

i personally believe in the catholic beliefs but i like this quote on the issue.

Answer 2

I don't believe in an afterlife (some are said to have died and to have come back to life, but isn't it because they were never really dead in the first place?). I prefer to live without the certitude of such a thing — without the blinds of reassuring delusions. I think it helps make life, all lives, more precious overall.

It doesn't mean I consider myself an unethical nihilist. To the contrary, I believe that being born from star dust, and going back to star dust is, in a way, a great privilege, and a grandiose thing, which must not be wasted. This is a privilege which deserves that we take a responsibility toward other sentient beings' welfare and happyness.

Who knows? Maybe there's an afterlife. In my case, I believe it can be found through what we leave to family, friends and society at large, by our diverse contributions (knowledge, art, love...). And I really hope there is a kind of heaven awaiting the good and decent believers at the end of their lives.

Your heart stops beating, you stop breathing, and brain waves no longer travel throughout your body. In a sense I believe its like what happens when you sleep and dont dream. You know how you wake up in the morning and you think "I just fell asleep." It will be just like that except there will be no waking up. Scientifically speaking there is nothing when you die. But if we are going off the science here then their are many theories. Many involve your soul and heaven and hell where you go to the pearly gates and it is decided where you go. Other thoughts involve reincarnation, where you are reborn into a new body and do not remember you old self. Or if you are a lawyer your going to hell.....just kidding. No offense to any lawyers out there. Another belief is that regards reincarnation is being born in a higher caste than you were before (I believe that is Hinduism). But because caste has basically gone away that theories may be ruled out.

Answer 4

The living organism will disintegrate an be consumed by life. The idea of an 'I' that was created based on memory will end. Life will feed on your death and you will be redistributed into the natural world. The answer you are looking for cannot be answered as it is impossible to experience. Any answers are only using knowledge of current experiences to create a fantasy about what is non-experiential as there will be no apparatus to collect the memories of your death experience and the separation from nature you are now imagining will have ended. The destruction of the thought mechanism creating separation for you now cannot be experienced as it is the very mechanism forcing experience. 'You' will end and 'you' won't have any idea that a 'you' have ended or that a 'you' ever dreamed your 'self' up.

Answer 5

No matter how advanced the science and the technology is, no one can tell you this, for a simple reason, their is a super power above all, that you can never get your hands on.
I don't know about heaven and hell, but one thing I know is dust to dust.
One time I was having a baby and they made me unconscious, they asked me to count, which I did, but after counting few numbers, I couldn't move my lips, nor my arms, I could hear the doctor telling my husband that you can go now, I was stiff and couldn't move, was scared very scared, wanted to scream, but I was numb, my whole body was numb, little later passed off, but I still remember that day up till now. I had asked the doctor about this, he explained that your brain cells took longer then your body, that's all.
Anyways! When I see dead bodies, I say to myself, "what if his heart stopped but his brain is still alive and is listening"
I want to die, but just die and don't want any part of me alive like that.
I don't know whether I explained it right and you understood what I am saying.

Answer 6

It depends on the way u die. A violent death will cause the soul to be confused and there for be a lost soul. That soul will probably still goes through that tragic death they experience over and over or hell.. maybe the lost soul don't want to be helped. Maybe it just wants to stay here forever and scare everybody.

As for all the ppl that die a peaceful death, they will be passing over into the crossroad. Where they will be chilling and waiting for judgment day

Remember our body is just a shell we are currently using

Answer 7

Nothing happens, you die. i think this is the reason religion was "invented" so that people who were scared of dyeing would have an illusion that their life will continue on, and some where in the process religion decided to make a profit of it by demanding their 10 percent, lol. just one man's opinion.

Just for fun do some math, take a regular church with say 500 members who all make an average wage of $25,000, this one church in theory if everyone paid 10 percent the church every year would make 1.25 Million a year (25,000 * 0.1 = 2,500 * 500 = 1,250,000!!!). then lets say we have 200 churches in the valley you get a total of a TAX FREE profit of 250 Million Dollars a year!!! my question is where dose that money go?

Answer 8

I will begin to rot. A coroner will come to the home of my 18 year old lover, and pronounce me dead. He will then place my body in a black nylon bag, and remove me from the bed, and put me on a gurney, and take my body to the morgue. There a coroner will do an autopsy on my naked body, and discover that my death was due to heart failure, caused by sexual exertion, but other wise I was a perfectly healthy 106 year old woman. Then my family will come and claim the body, and following my wishes, have it transported by the cremation company to their place of business, and at around 1400-1800 degrees and 2 1/2 hours later, my body will be ashes; which per my instructions, my family will dump over a mountain in Alaska.

Answer 9

I'll not be around to see the sun rise in the east or set in the west.

Answer 10

Have you ever been under anestassia? The difference is that in death there won't be any after effects.
