Life After Death?

[laughin man]

Hello peoples ;)

So what do you think is gonna happen when you finally kick the bucket?

Im not sure whats gonna happen could be like a prolonged sleep, thats my best attempt anyway I doubt il be standing on clouds :unsure:

[Dundon's]

Prolonged sleep works for me, something like that I'd say.

[Stella Artois]

The NWO resurrects you and uses you as their bitch in Bohemian Grove or whatever the fuck it's called. Surely you knew that Dundon's?

[Dundon's]

Does somebody want to control this little animal?

[laughin man]

Does somebody want to control this little animal?

He's just doin his dance :dancer:

[Dundon's]

He's a bitter little man and shouldn't drag the argument in here, this place used to have good staff once upon a time.

Sweeys gone now tho...... :shifty:

[50!]

If you're good you come back with a good life.

If you're bad you come back with a shite life.

If you're really bad you come back as a bit of plankton.

[Dundon's]

Sweeys gone now tho...... :shifty:


Total lightweight, that wannabe grease ball couldn't handle an argument with me so sent me off ffs.

Talk about taking a forum to heart, especially this place.

P.S. Back on topic now....

[laughin man]

If you're good you come back with a good life.

If you're bad you come back with a shite life.

If you're really bad you come back as a bit of plankton.

But life as you know it will be dead, whatever your name is will be well forgotten in that case....

[Dundon's]

You'll notice most people will believe they turn to dust and that's that.

Seems to be the cool way of thinking.

[laughin man]

I doubt that ;)

[Barry]

Who knows? I'd like to think we all get the chance to come back, of course unaware of any previous lives. Though the prospect of heaven is a great one. Mahatma Gandhi and Marlon Brando playing rock/paper/scissors in the lobby with St Peter, or Winston Churchill discussing tactics with Rinus Michels, Socrates and Charles Martel in the corner.

It is a happy place.

[Ziss]

It's odd, as I believe there's a god but also believe in reincarnation.

I'm a freak like that ;)

Where's Sweey gone, anyway?

[Nifty1Pound50]

Where's Sweey gone, anyway?

I heard he sustained a serious brain injury when a rogue graduation hat from a vagabondian youth hit him square in the temple. Said youth was found not guilty of reckless endangerment, citing "freedom to do as I please." ;)

I think the saxophone is the instrument of heaven. I don't buy into all this harp nonsense.

[Cobinho]

I have not known anything to die on earth, I have only seen change and transformation. There is more to us that the physical so the "death" of human to me only means the end of thier physical life.

[Aaronarid]

I'd love for there to be another form of life after this, but, let's face it, there probably isn't.

We should be thankful that we have a life; let alone one as a human, in this tiny bracket of time. I plan to live life on the assumption that this is the only one.

[fick]

Put in a box and burnt. We are after all, nothing more than a bag of skin filled mainly with water with a little electricity to power the whole show.

[Dragonfly]

You'll notice most people will believe they turn to dust and that's that.

Seems to be the cool way of thinking.

What makes you think that?

I haven't got a clue, but I'd like to think you either walk about the Earth as a ghost, or carry on living in some sort of afterlife. Basically, I hope I'm still concious, in a way, as in I know what's happening and can make decisions.

[Jonny2J]

I want my ashes to be smoked, much like in How High. It doesn't have to be by Method Man & Redman though.

[Original?]

We decompose. It's not 'cool' it's just true, I'm sure an afterlife would be splendid yet then again so would the ability to fly.

[laughin man]

Im not sure what benefit that would bring, im not sure id like my last resting place to be in a mans lungs :no:

We can fly.....

[Dragonfly]

We decompose.

But does our soul? :ohmy:

[Cookie]

I'd like to think there's a life after death. But, who knows?

[Cannon ball]

We all get 14 virgins each.

[Yossi]

We decompose. It's not 'cool' it's just true, I'm sure an afterlife would be splendid yet then again so would the ability to fly.

Logical view from a logical poster.

[Miggy]

We all get 14 virgins each.

I'd prefer 14 sluts.

[Jonny2J]

We decompose. It's not 'cool' it's just true, I'm sure an afterlife would be splendid yet then again so would the ability to fly.You can't say that though as there isn't conclusive proof to support what happens after we die. It's just one thing that will always remain unknown.

[Yossi]

You can't say that though as there isn't conclusive proof to support what happens after we die. It's just one thing that will always remain unknown.

Until we die.

[Cobinho]

But does our soul? :ohmy:

Exactly, surely we are more than our flesh and bones.

[Aaronarid]

We may never know if unicorns exist, doesn't mean you can't all but rule it out.

[laughin man]

We may never know if unicorns exist, doesn't mean you can't all but rule it out.

How can you compare Unicorns with the afterlife.....

[Viperized]

I remember hearing a story about a guy who committed suicide to find out whether life after death existed. He burned himself alive.

[Aaronarid]

How can you compare Unicorns with the afterlife.....

As an example of something for which there has never been any evidence for, and as so far, are just creations of human imagination...

[Alvin]

Unicorns are far more likely.

[laughin man]

In one sense you are correct but in another sense the afterlife is included in many relations so in that sense your off your game :mellow:

[Papa]

Unicorn = Rhino on a diet. :cool:

[Aaronarid]

In one sense you are correct but in another sense the afterlife is included in many relations so in that sense your off your game :mellow:

I don't think so. Just because something has a lot of emotion or sentimentality attached to it, or can be explored/imagined in different forms, doesn't give it any more credibility.

[laughin man]

From an atheist's point of view your dead right :mellow:

White rhino, with fetlocks, hair....

[Aaronarid]

From an atheist's point of view your dead right :mellow:

My atheism doesn't dictate the opinions I form of the world, quite the opposite.

[Cookie]

My grandfather was saying the other day, as he was going for a walk he saw the oldest looking man he had ever seen sitting inside, looking out the window of some old, run down house. He told my father about this and it turns out that the last resident was an old man fitting the description my grandad gave. My uncle than asked was he sure he wasn't looking in a mirror. :laugh:
Pretty spooky stuff though. I've had some spooky experiences myself and I believe there is probably something else awaiting us after we die.

[laughin man]

My atheism doesn't dictate the opinions I form of the world, quite the opposite.

Being an atheist is why you have that opinion if you where religious it would be different, unicorns are unicorns..... you see what im getting at here....

[Aaronarid]

Atheism isn't the reason I have that opinion. I have that opinion because there isn't any form of evidence for the afterlife.

Atheism is the by-product of having a rational and logical viewpoint. Islam isn't a by-product of believing you will receive 72 virgins in heaven. I think calling and opinion, the view of an 'atheist', is just an easy way of dismissing a critical way of thinking.

I see what you are trying to get at, a unicorn is just a unicorn, the afterlife is a supposedly complex issue, but I don't think you can see what I'm getting at.

[Original?]

We can fly.....

I'm sure you'll be happy to prove that with but a moment's notice.

But does our soul? :ohmy:

Exactly, surely we are more than our flesh and bones.

'Surely' - I do apologise, you have so much evidence to provide that you can use such words. Why are we more than 'flesh and bones'? There's no rational reasoning for this other than human arrogance.

You can't say that though as there isn't conclusive proof to support what happens after we die. It's just one thing that will always remain unknown.

No, there's no proof or rationale behind the theory that anything happens after we die. You can not categorically prove the non-existence of something. There is more reason behind believing in the existence of extra-terrestial life than an after-life, yet the admission of the former belief is likely to get you sectioned.

We may never know if unicorns exist, doesn't mean you can't all but rule it out.

Unicorns are far more likely.

Amusing and true, but perhaps not the best line to take.

From an atheist's point of view your dead right :mellow:

From a rational, logical and reasoned approach the conclusion is sound. The prospect of an afterlife is indeed a happy and useful one, however as with stoning and mud huts I think we should have outgrown superstitions.

[Dundon's]

Atheism isn't the reason I have that opinion. I have that opinion because there isn't any form of evidence for the afterlife.



Orely, how much time have you spent looking into the subject?

[laughin man]

So do you think will happen?

[Aaronarid]

Orely, how much time have you spent looking into the subject?

Ok, I have that opinion because I haven't been convinced by any evidence to suggest otherwise.

If there was peer-reviewed, empirical evidence for the afterlife, would this thread have got this far?

[Dundon's]

There's a ton of information out there if you look for it and each theory is backed up by multiple races and cultures going back thousands and thousands of years.

I don't know for sure what happens but there is signs of hope, that's all I can add. :)

[Original?]

We decompose.

[laughin man]

We decompose.

Mentally not physically....

I'm sure there is a ton of information on theories by ancient races and cultures, and on how each of them was derived. Ultimately though, when weighed against what we can establish as fact in modern society, I doubt that even collectively, it will hold much weight.

The concept of why so many of us dearly 'hope' for another life does interest me though, so I do plan to look into it a bit.

Good for you fella, won't do you any harm to check it out. There's nothing better than looking for knowledge on your own accord, rather than getting some book programed into you by a square. Discovering things for yourself is most satisfying.

Side note: You really think we're evolving as a race? :rolleyes:

[Alvin]

Orely, how much time have you spent looking into the subject?
Oh professor Dundon's, please enlighten us with your tales of the afterlife. Has Alex Jones been there?

There's a ton of information out there if you look for it and each theory is backed up by multiple races and cultures going back thousands and thousands of years.
How exactly did they gather this information? I'm led to believe that the afterlife is something of a one way ticket.

[Barry]

Side note: You really think we're evolving as a race? :rolleyes:

Intellectually we are still evolving, and constant random mutations to our gene pool makes that we do so on a biological level as well.

[Dragonfly]

'Surely' - I do apologise, you have so much evidence to provide that you can use such words. Why are we more than 'flesh and bones'? There's no rational reasoning for this other than human arrogance.

Or fantasism.

I'm not suggesting that there is definitely life after death or the existence of souls. I did say in my original post that I would like to think that there is some sort of afterlife. I know that our brain is what is meant to control our movements and there have been neurological tests to explain human behaviour (and personality?), but I like to think that everyone has a soul that is the underlying root of our personality and that is what controls our behaviour and movements (i.e. soul controls the brain). I don't think there's anything to prove this, but of course, I'd be very surprised if there was.

No one knows for certain if there is an afterlife, and I think it would be foolish to say it definitely does or doesn't exist.

[Dundon's]

Oh professor Dundon's, please enlighten us with your tales of the afterlife. Has Alex Jones been there?

I have no tales to tell but I'll send you a postcard when I get there how's that?


How exactly did they gather this information? I'm led to believe that the afterlife is something of a one way ticket.

They had their ways, just like they knew about or solar system and how man came about in the 1st place. Burning the history of the world every 100 years doesn't help either.

Intellectually we are still evolving, and constant random mutations to our gene pool makes that we do so on a biological level as well.

So we're told anyways, do you really think our bodies and senses are evolving? As a race we are constantly being dumbed down, this is a fact and on record, Fluoride in the water will do that to a man.

Take away the food supply and all the little gadgets that they have given us and we'll see exactly how long we'd last. We are totally dependent on a handful of people who I know we can't trust, does that not worry you?

[fick]

I remember hearing a story about a guy who committed suicide to find out whether life after death existed. He burned himself alive.

Surely that would be burned to death?

Depends on your beliefs. Reincarnation must therefore be a return ticket?

We are totally dependent on a handful of people who I know we can't trust, does that not worry you?

We are always going to be dependant on someone, trust or not. Our reliance on others to provide the basic necessities is nothing new. In all honesty I'm not going to spend too much time worrying about it, there is little to nothing anyone can do and the idea of a utopia where you are truly independant is nothing more than a pipe dream.

[Dundon's]

There was a land long long ago and it had that very concept, it was called America.

Evolution (as in major change physically/mentally) is a slow process, we adapt to our environments. But we've also made the environment adapt to us, so what need is there to radically evolve?

As for fluoridation, there are only a few countries that actually add that to the water, if at all. I know the Netherlands doesn't do it. I fail to see the connection between fluoride and 'dumbing down' though?

[Cobinho]

'Surely' - I do apologise, you have so much evidence to provide that you can use such words. Why are we more than 'flesh and bones'? There's no rational reasoning for this other than human arrogance.

I'm sure I have a soul. But maybe it was the wrong to use.

I can't answer that question. All I can say is that it's not human arrogance, I think anything with consciousness has a soul. A soul is therefor not exclusive to humans.

[Jonny2J]

Evolve, not revolve.
