Where do you go when you die?

Re: Where do you go when you die?

Here's where we see differently. I don't believe a soul exists, nor do I believe that there is a divine power. Both I think are products of wishful thinking and from lacking many of life's answers. I won't elaborate, because that's for another thread.

Well, you said "after we die, we eventually live a new life" - if we don't have souls, what makes it 'us' that's living that new life? Might as well not even believe we live a new life, that's more like we die and that's it, and other people are born.

The 69'th. *ba dum pum, psh*

I wonder how many other Circles of Hell they've made since The Divine Comedy.

Call me a retard, but I feel kinda bad about posting like this in CT.

We're bumping the thread, and providing philosophical food for thought.

Theoretically in heaven, you can't do the nasty the way you most likely want to do it on Earth, on moral grounds.

In hell, you can't do the nasty the way you want to, on grounds that you're not supposed to have fun.


Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

My parents tell me I'm a Christian and when I die, I go to Heaven.

Uh... I don't know. Personally, I don't give a ****. I'll live my life, and when I die, I die. There's nothing else to it.

Do they ever specify whether you're orthodox or catholic? Unitarian, pentacostal, baptist, lutheren, methodist...?

Re: Where do you go when you die?

There is probably no answer to this question. The only real indication is what people believe. Really, all theories are equally valid: heaven, hell, reincarnation, life stream, nothingness, whatever.

I believe that belief begets truth, so go with whatever sounds best to you. Hell is lame though, don't believe in hell.

While I'm here, I might as well say that there is no such thing as absolute truth, only that which we percieve and feel. Of course, that implies an absolute truth in itself, so it's sort of a paradox.

I remember this English comedian (Iranian by ethnicity) making some joke about suicide bombers believing that they'll have everlasting sex once they blow themselves up.

"Look, I just want my **** sucked in heaven, okay!?"

Now THAT would be a good motivation.

In that case, everything we perceive must be a product of our organs: eyes, mind etc.

And in that case, even our bodies must be a product of our organs.

And in that case, even our organs must be a product; of our organs!

So here, unless you're willing to bite the bullet and accept that this reductio ad absurdum circa late 1800's actually demonstrates a truth, it seems we can discount that form of solipsism at least as it stands.

When I was younger, I went to a Baptist church. Now I go to a Methodist.

Well, until my mother decided she didn't like certain people at the church. Now we don't go to church. =/

Re: Where do you go when you die?

i aint no religious psycho or anything, but i definitely believe in God. therein lying the fact that when anyone dies, i believe they go to either heaven or hell. if you believe in Him as your savior and God, then to heaven youre a goin! if not..ehm, eternity may not look so hott for you - orr literally it will be hot. [+ burning fire Xo] im not forcing anyone to believe this, but i just found this an interesting topic, and its simply what i believe.

dont kill me for 33t ^-^
