strange to think about...

what if there's just nothing? what if we just cease to exist? what happens to our existence?

alternatively... what if there is something after death... are we there forever? how long is forever?

discuss.

heaven or endless weeping and gnashing of teeth

7/24/2008 9:54:26 PM

well, yes, you do shit yourself.

i'm more so referring to what makes you you... i.e., what some would call your "soul."

p.s. everyone who makes fun of my fagness is also gay.

7/24/2008 9:54:57 PM

I'm going to hell

who's coming with me

7/24/2008 9:55:02 PM

Nothing. We're dead. Worms eat us. The end.

7/24/2008 9:55:09 PM

I would give my opinion but I also know tww.
but yes I do believe in life after death.

is it bad i've wondered about this since i was literally about 4 years old?..

7/24/2008 9:55:45 PM

^

7/24/2008 9:56:32 PM

no, i have too... as long as i can remember...

it just pops in my head randomly sometimes and it kinda freaks me out to think about it...

also, the longer you think about it, the less sense it makes...

7/24/2008 9:57:13 PM

we just cease to exist

7/24/2008 9:57:13 PM

what makes you you?

hazarding a guess:

the sum of your beliefs, feelings, and memories

you're a recorder that's always on

your unique recording of the events surrounding you

makes you you

7/24/2008 9:57:20 PM

i've worked in fast food. the prospect of hell doesn't scare me.

7/24/2008 9:57:26 PM

^^yes, but what happens to all that when you die?

7/24/2008 9:58:06 PM

useless question. go cure cancer or something.

7/24/2008 9:58:19 PM

^^ information is dispersed

that matter is broken down and moves on in other forms

the aggregated experiences of the whole probably don't

(it ain't romantic, but again, i'm just hazarding guesses)

a trickier question is really

what's happening to it all right now?

[Edited on July 24, 2008 at 10:03 PM. Reason : that's shit i wonder all the time...]

7/24/2008 9:59:11 PM

It pops into my head all the time too.

In general...I think I'll go to heaven (I mean...if I "qualify"). Although I have no idea what heaven, or hell for that matter, would be like.

But there are a lot of times where I think about the other possibilities and how its just as likely that something else will happen. I mean, honestly, NO ONE KNOWS. Which is kind of awesome. I'm not trying to die anytime soon...but I sure as hell would like to know.

7/24/2008 10:01:35 PM

I don't really think it matters as long as its SOMETHING

If you die of natural causes, I'd figure you'd be pretty sick of life after 80+ years

So I'll probably be ready to move on

even if it is just chilling in a box for all eternity

7/24/2008 10:03:08 PM

yeah

i'd like to know what happens

but, to be honest (with you dianne, i'm surprised)

death and dying in general scare the shit out of me

which is strange, because i see people die all the time... and that doesn't bother me...

but my own mortality... that's a completely different story.

7/24/2008 10:03:09 PM

if i ever committed suicide it would be purely out of curiosity

Of course not. Because that's not you.

Quote :

"but my own mortality... that's a completely different story."

And to complete my circle of logic: that's because it's you!

But seriously, what do you do that you see people die all the time? Are you sure it doesn't bother you? You are making threads like this on here.

7/24/2008 10:08:16 PM

since being a cop i think about this subject way too much

its like the nights you dont have dreams, except you dont wake up

7/24/2008 10:24:22 PM

carl looks like he's thinking about what happens when you die

MAYBE THAT'S WHAT THE CARL FACE IS ALL ABOUT HUH

7/24/2008 10:25:06 PM

find a really quiet place and sit perfectly still with your eyes shut and in pitch darkness

breathe very very slowly

difficulty: don't think

kinda weird, but i think it'd be similar

7/24/2008 10:29:33 PM

want to know what would really suck? being aware in a dead body.

just lying there forever in a box. really fucking boring.

7/24/2008 10:29:40 PM

it happens!

im a cop. the days we dont deal with someone dead or dying is a good day.

7/24/2008 10:54:56 PM

well, I'll go to a peaceful afterlife living with my buddy God in heaven

you'll go to hell
because you're a fag

When you die, you permanently lose consciousness. It's probably like going to sleep, only you don't dream and you're never aware of the process (on account of you no longer being conscious). The light bulb just turns off, so to speak.

7/24/2008 10:58:51 PM

I would like to believe there's something beyond this life, but so far I don't. So pretty much

i still like the circle of life song best

I'm nearing 30 and I feel like life is just beginning

doubt I'll be sick of it by the time of 80

I think life is way too short as it is

7/24/2008 11:07:32 PM

Yeah, I could live to 800 and manage to keep busy.

Once you die, you will then be dead.
