[ Outline ] · Standard · Linear+ What comes after death?

[Songi]

I don't know. Do we start lives anew? is there another place that we go to? or is there simply nothing at all?

I just can't believe that there might be nothing. That all this is merely all there is. Shouldn't death just be another step in life? So many questions and yet we have no real answers at all. So what does people here think? what do you believe or hope for?

well, this reminded me of something.. dunno anymore who was the philosopher behind this one tho.
death & afterlive essentially have 4 possible chances
1. you believe in God, and he exists
2. you believe in God, and he doesnt exist
3. you dont believe in God, and he exists
4. you dont believe in God, and he doesnt exists.

clearly number 1 seems very good (essentially "you win access to heaven"), and 2&4 are almost the same in the end (you dont really lose anythin by believing, altho your habits may differ - often to more healthy). now no-one wants 3 to be fit for you.. (literally "go to hell without passing the start")
my personal opinion, tho, is that we may not yet know about the afterlife. it is subject that is interesting tho.. if our existance just ceases, its no big deal. but other than just thinkin about that, i feel this issue to be kind of too important one. i mean, there must be a reason we all think about that one, right? :P
