What is your concept of what happens after life?

Answer 1

After life? That's an interesting question and here's why...

When exactly is after life? If your religious and beleive in some kind of continuence after your earthly body has deceased, then there is no after life, at least not unless that (generally termed as) spirit dies or if you get reincarnated, thats not after life either...

Scientifically speaking it doesn't take much to get brain damage from being unable to breathe or heart issues, so what happens? My guess is much like your in a coma ... permanently. Not asleep, and even a coma would suggest you could wake up, but no this is as close as one can get to guaranteed forever...

We don't really know what happens to the mind/spirit once we die, but its likely it simply dies too, you lose consciousness and its all over... but we do know what happens to the body, it simply deteriorates over time, it doesn't wake up it doesn't reform it simply disintegrates... but you don't have to wait that long to realize in most cases theres a big difference between a dead body and a person.

My opinion (at least the most likely option I see) is that death = the end of ones life... I do not believe in a spirit that travels beyond the physical body after we die, but your welcome to and I leave others to their beliefs on this matter...

Personally I prefer to think of life as a gift and rather than focus on death, focus on living, because its all about the choices we make. Leave the best legacy you can and you may be talked about for long after your gone, its about the closest we're known to have to immortality...

Answer 2

We know for a fact that everything that makes you, you--your memories, experiences, personality, skills, etc.--are stored as physical connections amongst the neurons in your brain. We also know for a fact that within minutes of brain death, the connections between the neurons in your brain get severed as the neurons shrivel up. All the information that is stored there, that makes you you, is lost.

Thus, we can say with very high confidence that when you die, you are really and truly gone. Even if there were some kind of soul, which we have seen zero evidence of, it would be quite literally mindless, lacking ANY of the characteristics that define you.

Any talk of an afterlife is not even speculation, it is wishful fantasy invented millenia ago as a comfort against the finality of death. Which makes it all the more important that we not waste the one life we have now.

Answer 3

For me, my concept is that the soul continues to live until an opportunity to be reborn presents itself. Then, much like a computer hard-drive, the soul is stripped of its memories, cleaned, and placed into the new body. Sometimes, however, fragments of the old soul still exist.

Anyway, my theory is that the soul continues to live, in different bodies, for an endless amount of time. I was once told I'd had nine lives. That I'd lived for many, many years and I would continue to do so. How, I asked, thinking that my body will eventually die, if something doesn't happen to it sooner. Easy, I was told, because my soul has continued for that time.

Interesting question!

Answer 4

After death you mean right? I was raised Catholic growing up, and I used to believe that we all "go to heaven". Well the good people do anyway. Now that I'm older (31) and my parents are born again Christians, it's been stuffed down my throat and all I hear about is Jesus, that it's actually turned me away from my religous beliefs. I've turned more spiritual than anything. I'm the "cliche" person who believes that good people go to heaven. I think hell is for the rapists, murderers and child molesters. And other times I wonder if there's a heaven at all or any place that our souls go to. Sometimes I think once we're gone it's just lights out.

Answer 5

Yes, there is life after death, but there are those who erringly believe that once you die, you cease to exist until the resurrection. This is problematic for two reasons: First, it contradicts scripture. Second, if a person dies and ceases to exist, then he is in the same state he was before he was born: non-existence. Therefore, at the resurrection, it is not he who is raised from the dead. No, instead, a copy of the original person is produced. Nevertheless, the Bible definitely tells us that there is life after death:

Answer 6

Curtains close, lights out. The Audience claps as the actors exit the stage. Then it's a great celebration after the great act if the play (life) is a success or despair if its a failure.

Answer 7

I believe that our souls travel on as something else. Where there is death, there is birth. So really, we never die.

Answer 8

I hope that I get to Heaven and be with God!

Answer 9

i think we go to heaven? well i hope so.
