Akira Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 Just to clarify, you do not have to have a religion to believe in the afterlife, an eternal soul, or anything supernatural. So, discuss the statement: When I die, I rot - Bertrand Russell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akira Posted February 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 Good, Frlf is good. He's got the idea ;) The whole point of this thread is for open discussion on an interesting topic, not to "prove" anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarbleZone Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 So basically this is about the existence of soul? I'm inclined towards the existence of a conscience rather than a soul per se, and I expect that conscience to be preserved or transformed after I die, not just fade. Naturally, that stems from a) my religious beliefs to a small extent, and most of all b) my complete inability to perceive the concept of nothingness. Considering nobody can prove souls exist, and nobody can prove that they do not, I expect this thread to invariably end up in religious discussion. Hopefully I'm wrong. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akira Posted February 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 Thanks for your views. This thread isn't specifically about the existence of the soul, but the statement does encompass that topic. It's an opinion on whether death is a means to an end really ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyber Altair Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 my complete inability to perceive the concept of nothingness. That is something I spent a lot of time thinking about. I always wonder about what happens when you die and weather or not a soul exist. Does your energy just decompose and move on with your conciousness shut down for ever. It's the logical thing but it doesn't feel right at all. Also it's purely the fact I can't really get to comprehend the meaning or moreover the feeling of being dead.

ragnarok1945 Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 All I'm saying is that some people prefer to see heaven and hell far too extreme, that's why they choose ONLY the afterlife, where there's a balance of good and bad that still awaits you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So obviously for some people, why should the afterlife be 100% good or 100% bad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
