Default What happens when you die?

Ever wonder what will happen when you die? I believe that I will go to Heaven and reunite with all my loved ones that died before me. I cannot imagine being in Heaven forever. Forever is hard to imagine. Maybe I will live again, maybe not. Who knows? One thing is for sure, we will all find out sooner or later. What do you think?

I don't have a clue.

It can't be that bad though. You can't know your dead, and if you did, you would still have everything you needed (that is, the capacity to think).

I can't really say I'm going to hell or heaven. I'm not the judge there.

Once you are finished here it is over Johnny. Man evolved from a single cell organism. This phenomenon has been demonstrated time and time again in the scientific community. Call it "the right place at the right time phenomenon." To suggest that we are going to heaven or hell is simply a ludicrous and uninformed belief.

If the world would smarten up and realize that our existence is finite wars and rumors of wars would decrease exponentially.

I won't know what happens after death until I die, but I like to think we are reincarnated.

Interesting, though, that you chose not to vote -- I guess you don't want to leave behind proof, huh, just in case you're wrong.

Not at all. I thought I selected an option but apparently did not.

This is one of those things that we have absolutely no evidence. Reincarnation sounds good. I like the idea in Buddhism of a Bodhisattva. That is that you work in every life to become a true Buddhist so you can leave this world and be in a better place without the cruelty and of life and death. But being a Buddha means you can't leave without helping others, so you keep coming back to this world to help everyone else achieve Buddhism. These people are called Bodhisattvas.

But I also think reincarnation is not coming back ever as the previous person. Maybe it would be a combination of several elements. Thus you would accept that your life as you are right now is finite and get to the point that Cabotcat made.
