What do you think it's like... When we die?

Easy: We're all invited to a huge banana party, with Les Claypool's future dead self playing all the time. By all the time, I mean before the Universe even existed, and even after it's gone down the pooper and come back eight-billion^billion^billion^billion times.When he's finished up, we trade our banana juice with that special someone-- if you really haven't found him or her after all that time, you're probably better off just drinking your own-- and what we know of as time reverses itself and we live backwards. Sort of like that F. Scott Fitzgerald short story-that's-been-made-into-a-sorta-lame movie, but more backwards reversed kind of way.
After that's been through a few times, Jesus hands out high fives to everyone and the cycle begins anew. Only this time, everyone wears a koala bear outfit.
You do a lot of drugs, don't you?

I have no idea what you just said. Looks like your just throwing random things into a pot.

In all seriousness, I'm appalled at your blindly-presumptuous nature. I am not being directed by manatees, if that is what you're implying. I'm closely and fastidiously paralleling concepts from various religions and systems of belief(s). I'd say "or lack thereof", but that's gotta be the most ostentatious phrase ever. That, and ostentatious itself.
Is it systems of belief or systems of beliefs? thxinadvance

I don't believe in a heaven or hell
i think when we die it will just be nothing like a blackout but we won't have any memory it will just be nothing

My views are pretty hard to put into words, but I'll try to lay my fucked up concepts down in a semi-intelligent matter for you.
So first of all, to follow what I think, you have to assume that all human consciences are linked together in some sort of way, sorta like a bunch of robots working on a project together. We're not able to communicate with our minds or anything, but there is the link there. Now, when we die, (or referring back to my robot analogy, a robot breaks down or such), another person, or "robot", will come take it's place. I believe this person may inherit stuff from the person who's place he is taking, such as a robot getting the data from the previous robot so it can continue it's job. This isn't to say that if a president dies, the person who takes his place is going to be a politician. I mean that some personality traits and such may be inherited, such as a strong passion for something, or and anger problem. The person who died, however, will cease to exist. This is where stuff starts getting hard to put into words; since the person who died's conscience stopped, another person's will continue going, or just be starting. That's where these inherited traits come from, because the conscience jumped to another host, which is why only a few, or no, traits may be inherited. There is no way to prove that the conscience jumped, or that this person got his/her traits from another, so this probably just sounds like something I thought up one day and said "okay, lets go with that". That is, infact, probably what happened; my mind couldn't handle the idea of simply not existing anymore, and came up with something that it deemed an acceptable theory. That's what religion is, so who knows. Maybe one day people will be reading my gospel. :P

Fear of death is irrational, there is nothing when we die. Fading into blackness is neither good nor bad. The best thing you can possibly do, is live your life as good and well as you can on earth, doing good deeds, and not worry about heaven or the afterlife. If you worry about your 'sins' and how you have to atone for them all your life, you will never think about all the good you can/could do on Earth.
That is what the Jews believe anyway, and I think its very rational
*EDIT* and because we have no consciousness when we die, its stupid to presume that its bad, because you dont 'feel' when you die.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure you just pulled that out of your ass.
A lot of things about it don't make sense, not the least of which being...well, the number of people that exist is rapidly increasing, almost exponentially, really.
So I guess there just isn't enough personality to go around.
To quote a man much more intelligent and fictional than myself, "A live body and a dead body contain the same number of particles. Structurally, there's no discernible difference. Life and death are unquantifiable abstracts. Why should I be concerned?"

Yeah, I couldn't really care less about what happens after death. As I said, it's probably my brain rationalizing, or me being bored, I just live my life to the fullest, because I don't expect anything after I die.
0
I do not know what happens in the end, and I do not give a flying sh--I do not care much to think about it. I tell the people that death ends the way the individual always imagined it to be. I say whatever the person believes will happen to them will happen.
Death is as much psychological as it is physical. If the person who is about to die has always believed something will happen to them, they will believe that that something is happening in their death. They may see a light; they may begin to fall into an abyss; they may start arm-wrestling the Grim Reaper...a patient believed that would happen to her; or they may even believe God is pinching their heads and is pulling out their soul like a crane game.
That does not mean that any of it is happening. I believe that their last vision in life is what they always believed would happen when they die. That is what I believe in, and that is what I tell those who wish to know my opinion.
My life will end in a Zero.

Dante's remark above really make me think about reincarnation. If the population of humans increased since the dawn of time, since 1 man equals 1 soul and equals 1 reincarnation. Lets say there were about 1000 people in the begining and all of them had died at some point, that means there would be always be 1000 people as the rule of reincarnation.
In conclusion, reincarnation would be impossible to happen since if it exists, there would be a fixed number of people on earth.
P.S i believe that when we die, we become a pile of matter, left to decompose in the ground. We would be recycled back into the earth and sustain the land.our bodies would be food to the flora and that inturn to fauna. So, in a morbid way, our death does have some benefits to others.

Astral Dimension/Plane.I did a large bit of religious bouncing about when I was younger and afraid of disappearing into a black, empty void. Christianity (Too many rules.), Buddhism (Not at all a peaceable type), Hinduism (Also evil and power hungry), Greek (Then I remembered I'd have to deal with Zeus again...ugh), Viking (Still the number one afterlife, if you ask me), etc.
About two years back, though, I found a great deal of information that dealt with Psi. One of the first things I tried was Astral Projection, and it's the stage I'm currently at. When you die, your consciousness gets catapulted out of your body into the Astral Plane.
Not very exciting, and a noticeable lack of Milk and Honey, but better then nothing.
For the Viking one, Don't you have to do something epic to get in?

Actually, reincarnation can make sense. People who give the argument you've given just don't think about it enough.
It's true that human life keeps increasing, but who's to say that all souls have been sent to earth? It's better not to think of reincarnating as souls on earth jumping around but to think of a giant ball of souls, with souls going down to earth and souls coming back. Of course, that idea destroys the romantic idea that all souls are always on earth, that a person's past life ended right before his current life began and all that, but romanticism rarely occurs in real life.
But it doesn't really matter to me. I just like refuting the "not enough souls for reincarnation" argument. :lol:

hey, or we just live our life once more without any memories.
And if we were to remember something we did before
then we call it "Deja-vue"
^_^
But i find that "Reincarnation thingie" good too.
I hope FAKKU! will exist in my afterlife +_+
And i can't keep ShaggyJebus serious with this awesome avatar he got xB
