What's next?

I just got into a conversation with someone about this, so i was wondering what everyone here thinks about what happens to you after death?

Posted by Boomer187 on Mar-12-2004 04:55:

I believe your dead.

basically atheists are gonna post about teh blackness....or better, the nothingness that we cannot fathom (kinda like how you remember everything before you were born)

others..either I dunno, or some better place.

Well we all believe different, but personaly i dont know as theres no records and any proof etc of whats next so i see it this way. " I will see it when i get there".

Let us reflect in another way, and we shall see that there is great reason to hope that death is a good, for one of two things: -- either death is a state of nothingness and utter unconsciousness, or, as men say, there is a change and migration of the soul from this world to another.

Now if you suppose that there is no consciousness, but a sleep like the sleep of him who is undisturbed even by the sight of dreams, death will be all unspeakable gain. For if a person were to select the night in which his sleep was undisturbed even by dreams, and were to compare with this the other days and nights of his life, and then were to tell us how many days and nights he had passed in the course of his life better and more pleasantly than this one, I think that any man, I will not say a private man, but even the great king will not find many such days or nights, when compared with the others.

Now if death is like this, I say that to die is gain; for eternity is then only a single night. But if death is the journey to another place, and there, as men say, all the dead are, what good, O my friends and judges, can be greater than this?

If indeed when the pilgrim arrives in the world below, he is delivered from the professors of justice in this world, and finds the true judges who are said to give judgment there, Minos and Rhadamanthus and Aeacus and Triptolemus, and other sons of God who were righteous in their own life, that pilgrimage will be worth making. What would not a man give if he might converse with Orpheus and Musaeus and Hesiod and Homer?

Nay, if this be true, let me die again and again. I, too, shall have a wonderful interest in a place where I can converse with Palamedes, and Ajax the son of Telamon, and other heroes of old, who have suffered death through an unjust judgment; and there will be no small pleasure, as I think, in comparing my own sufferings with theirs.

Above all, I shall be able to continue my search into true and false knowledge; as in this world, so also in that; I shall find out who is wise, and who pretends to be wise, and is not. What would not a man give, O judges, to be able to examine the leader of the great Trojan expedition; or Odysseus or Sisyphus, or numberless others, men and women too! What infinite delight would there be in conversing with them and asking them questions!

methinks when u die, u can be and do whatever u like.

the possiblities r mind-numbing. but if u wanna be negative, u could just say...six feet under being eaten by worms.

or basically a rest for eternity.

If you can remember what it was like to "not-exist" for the infinity before you were born, then you should be adequately prepared for the infinity of "non-existence" awaiting you after you die. You didn't "miss" your own existence during the iron-age, and you won't "miss" your own exisitence when the rest of us are off fighting aliens in a far off galaxy.

There is no god, there is no heaven. You'll only exist for a short time in between two infinite expanses of nothingness, so make the most of it and stop worrying about what you're going to be "thinking" when you don't even exist.
