What do you think happens after we die? -

[ArnoldPalmer]

I will be a ghost girl and won't have a butthole.

Is that canon? Ghosts don't have buttholes? How do they ghost poop?

 

[stares at error messages]

I've blacked out before, so I guess it's just like that only you don't come-to latter.

 

[The Curmudgeon]

Nothing. I hope.

I like the "New Church" explanation: an "externalized inner reality" (as David Staume put it).

TL;DR: it's kind of like "the Nexus" from the movie Star Trek Generations, but "more real than real life".

Or at least I hope there's no "traditional" hell, reincarnation, nor eternal recurrence of this life.

 

[The Great Chandler]

Die? We should be so lucky. I'm of a mind that we're already in eternal punishment and "death" is just an intermission to separate one set of tortures and humiliations from another. Also, god is a dick and our purpose for existence is to entertain him with our misery. Good things only happen because they give us hope that can be snatched away. Furthermore, happy people are probably soulless demons sent to make us feel bad about ourselves.

Or maybe it's all a dream. It would explain the need for a scientifically unobservable or provable concept like consciousness.

Gee! That's pretty depressingly nihilistic as hell.

I hope it is just like sleeping, whether that means you dream or it's just blackness. I want to believe there is an afterlife or even reincarnation, but it's hard to have that faith anymore. I just hope whatever is there isn't Hell, because damn it, I would be roasting for some stupid sin I didn't even know I was committing.

If you die, you're congratulated by this:

If you die, you're congratulated by this:

My rotting skeleton self would have a good laugh.

I mean it could be worse
It could be the basement music from Resident Evil Director's Cut DualShock Edition (what a title)

From the intro to Steven King's pet semetary "Death is a mystery, burial is a secret."

From ghostbusters 2 "death is but a door, time is but a window. "

From the mummy (1999) and the 2002 remake of Resident Evil "death is only the beginning.


Deaths a mystery and sometimes some mysteries are better left unsolved.

 

[Shitted Scaredless]

A bunch of what you would call woo

If you want to know the truth, you could try researching it. There are books on apologetics for example, and that might be better than doing nothing regarding the subject and remaining in the dark.

Eternal cessation of conciousness.

 

[evil anvil]

Nothing. That's what scares me so much. There is just nothing.

 

[horrorfan89]

I always find myself looking up the latest articles and papers, even if they're total fluff pieces on what's been studied on the subject from the scientific angle to the spiritual. Often it happens every few months or years when the realization that I'm getting older, my brothers are getting older, and my parents are getting older...and they're the closest ones to making that one way trip out of everyone else I know.

Every time I do I end feeling like I know less about the subject then when I started. People are always going to find ways to try and explain death. The one mystery that can only be answered when it inevitably happens to us all, and when it does you can't go back to tell anyone the answer.

Maybe we're just not meant to have a definitive end all answer until then.

 

[fat old sun]

Your after-death experience will be the same as your pre-birth experience. IMO of course...

 

[Question Mark]

Pic related, maybe. But the questions assumes that Closed Individualism is true. "You" might actually die every moment.
