What's terrifying about it though, were you terrified before you were born?

But what's so bad about just dying anyway? Sleeping is one of my favourite things to do so I'm absolutely fine with that

That's the way I see it, it would be like drifting under anaesthetic, it is what comes before death that I worry about

[Redway]

I do and I don’t.

No. But then again, we can't actually know, so who cares...

lol I thought it was only me

[smudgie]

I do believe the spirit lives on.
Not that I give a chuff to be honest

[Ashley.]

Yes. We live on through plants and trees. I'm going to be a dandelion.

[Alf]

I'll find out when I die. Until then, I'll just live my life and not worry about it.

To answer the question, I'd say probably not, but I also wouldn't rule it out, because I don't know for fact.

[hijaxers]

Yes i do

i wish i had that mentality about death but i spent a lot of my teen years contemplating and even panicking about it I'm prob weird af but yeah the idea of not existing whatsoever just seems so chilling to me but its like the only logical conclusion

Believers of religions believe that Paradise will be in the afterlife and Atheists believe it's not gonna happen, and they must build Paradise in their life-time. Two sides of a coin seeking the same thing.

That's very profound, Alfie. Although Jewish people don't have paradise. Or hell.

I do totally believe in life after death, but what form that takes I won't know until I shuffle off this mortal coil.

To me I see it as a concept that has been ingrained in humans through religion as a way of making them conform to a "good" standard of living and also giving them a sense of hope in death. Ultimately I think that's a good thing to have but I just have a hard time believing it's logically possible.

[user104658]

Depends what you mean, I suppose. It's possible that something individual continues to exist after death, though no proof for it, although I don't believe it can be your human consciousness / personality or anything even close to resembling it. It's very easy to demonstrate how chemical and physical changes to the brain can completely alter personality and memory. If a brain injury can fundamentally "change" who you are... then it's logically improbable that personality exists outside of the physical brain in any persistent form that could continue after the brain ceases to function.

If more people understood where all the atoms that create our body came from they would not need to create fiction to try to make us more interesting

Those atoms came from the Big Bang, more or less. Aren't scientists still trying to find out what caused the Big Bang? Isn't that what all that fuss is with the Large Hadron Collider? Or as I like to call it, the Large Hardon Collider.

[Crimson Dynamo]

There is a good article online about what happens to a decomposing body in a coffin and where our atoms etc go

[Natalie.]

Yes I do

Can you explain how it works scientifically using the laws of the universe and the elements of the periodic table?

[GoldHeart]

The way I see it , if there's nothing after death then why are we here in the first place and what would be the point if there's no afterlife ??!.

And I guess it's all about Faith ,we'll see what happens for ourselves .

There is no point. Why should there'd be?

Faith is another word for belief with zero evidence. Treat therefore with maximum contempt

I agree with all of this.

I also want to add that alot of people go through life living through hardship and pain just to die and not be rewarded with some form of an afterlife? that's just too cruel even by my standards.

I like the Islamic version of the afterlife for men.

If they are not rewarded with an afterlife, at least the pain stops.

Life is the point though? Why isn't that good enough?
