Physically; you just become a decomposing corpse until you finally become dust.

Spiritually; ???? ghost stuff

>>114308

I still can't stop thinking about it; it's fucking me up.

Does it matter what happens?

>>114311

It does to me, I don't like the idea that it just goes dark.

>>114312

Why? That's where you came from.

What are you anyways? What is the essence of you?

>I believe in God

>believing in a religion that was literally founded on cucking

>>114369

I think I will go straight to hell for being a brony cartoonfag drawfag.

>>114307

So what if you disappear? Do you live life to get an otherworldly reward?

>>114405

Yes goy, don't worry about wealth on earth, we'll take care of it, think about wealth after you die. And work for it harder, as a good goy, or it's gone.

>>114400

Not even the carrion eaters are interested in your irradiated corpse.

>>114307

>Anyone else wonder what happens after death?

Yes, all the time. And I'm almost 40. What cosmic wisdom have you learned brother?

You experience every possible scenario that your life could have been, starting at the worst and ending at the greatest. Then you'll enter a deep sleep and never wake up as your spirit disintegrates.

Have fun.

>>114425

Can you read?

>>114405

No, but I'm scared of it just all going black, nothing.

>>114523

Why is that?

Muteblock

>>114531

I think I'm a Thanatophobia, I'm just scared of it all just going blank.

>>114543

If Adam and Eve lacked free will they wouldn't have been able to eat the fruit.

>>114539

There is a physical aspect, but I don't think consciousness is purely physical. I can't prove it, and it's a little hard to explain, but I think we all subconsciously meme our way into affecting causality. Sort of like how placebos can still make you better just because you believe they do. I hypothesize that there are sort of layers of existence, and that the physical world is something of an illusion. It's like in a video game, the world is just a bunch of frames put together in sequence, nothing is actually moving. The code in the background is as real as it gets, and the 'space' of the code is going to be worlds apart from the 'space' of a game. You might take a hit and take damage in a game, but all that really means is a number got subtracted. Maybe it's a similar thing in real life.

I'm not saying we don't just die, but I wouldn't rule out there being factors beyond our comprehension.

>>114547

Lol fuck off christcuck, god doesn't exist and you can't hear him.

>>114436

I hope there is not an afterlife, I dont want to go hell, I love drawing cartoon porn and watching my little pony.

>>114570

>2015

>can't hear God

I'll pray for you

>>114619

Cool tupla, dude!

>>114546

>this one is pretty spoopy too.

Perhaps it would be less spoopy if I mentioned that it's more of a dream-like state than an entire life?

I just remembered another point, OP. Even if there is a heaven, even it would have to end eventually. All things must end. There is no "eternity". There may be a heaven where you feels like it lasts multiple eternities because it is outside of time, but it would end eventually.

I'll think more on this topic and post later.

Come to peace with closure. There is nothing to be afraid of, as there is nothing you can control.

>all this nonsense about death and religion

>nobody is talking about the most important thing: that dog-octopus-monkey-demon on the right with a facebutt

Look at that thing. LOOK AT IT!

More disturbingly is that anus: This was painted long before the advent of video porn, yet the artist had clearly seen allot of ruined anuses.

Honestly, lately I've been open to the idea that we're all the one God having lots of self delusi

>>114782

ional forays into this collective fiction we call life, basically hindu /buddhism shit without the cultural baggage.

>>114791

Ruined anuses you retard. That is not the anus of somebody who has not been severely sodomized.

>>114792

And that didn't happen before the 20th century?

>>114759

But if a God does exist why would his Heaven end?

>>114619

I don't think it's 2015 christcuck. Also, I won't ever be able to hear god since he doesn't exist and something that does not exist has no voice.

Man this has been on my mind so hard lately. I used to be a complete sjw atheist, but after finding /pol/ and all that I became Catholic again. Now, with all the bullshit with the Pope, and after realizing just how hard it is to follow Catholicism if you take the rules literally, I feel burnt out on that stuff. Also, I find it hard to believe that all other religions are false and their followers are going to hell. I hate the new age stuff, it is bullshit. I just don't know what to believe. I don't want to larp as a pagan either, and I like having good morality, like purity and such. I also think that there is a God, because we are conscious, and we are special. I just don't know what to believe about it, and I don't want to go to hell.

>>114868

>and we are special

Seems like you never stopped being a SJW after all. There are not a lot of differences between SJWs and christians anyway though.

>>114871

What I mean is, we, as humans, seem to be special in the universe. We have consciousness and can observe our surroundings in depth. I don't mean it in the sjw sense that everyone is special in their own way, I mean that humans seem to be important to the universe and something more than animals.

>>114890

Not really, we were just more evolved than other animals and decided to create stupid fairytales that people still believe in to this day while ignoring the lack of evidence for their religious nonsense.

>>114797

That's not even close to what I said.

>>114892

Fam, I don't think you understand what I'm saying, probably because I'm terrible at putting my thoughts and feelings into words. I see that a lot of the religious stuff is probably not true, but I still think there is a truth behind the myths. I believe this because we exist. We have consciousness. For all we know, we are the only intelligent beings in the universe, and because the list of things necessary for intelligent life to develop gets longer every year, I am starting to believe we may just be alone. I feel as though there is some purpose behind all of this. Not that I fucking know, and most likely neither do any of you. I do know that morality is important, and moral law seems to be somewhat universal, even though we don't know exactly what it is yet. It's all just so fucking confusing and while all this shit goes on I still have a fear of going to hell because I am disagreeing with the church, even though I don't really believe in that stuff.

>>114901

What if we're the only intelligent life on earth because our ancestors killed off our rivals? What if humans aren't the first sentient beings on earth and some other civilizations went to ruin well before our recorded history?

And ideas of morality really aren't universal, not at all.

>>114799

The artist is obviously christian yet has seen enough ruined anuses in person to want to paint one.

Sodomy is a sin.

Yup, ever since I was in kindergarten.

>>114436

Fucking saved.

I think I have something good for you actually.

You are not the sum of the atoms in your brain, you are the structure of the atoms in your brain.

And it stands to reason, if the universe is infinite, that there's something out there with the same structure of atoms in your brain that doesn't die when you die. This brain maintains the same exact experiences, up until the point you die. This means that your consciousness still remains in that brain, and you still "carry on".

I can explain more in detail if you faggots want me to.

>>115193

Yes please and thank you

>>115195

Picture this.

If I was to instantly terminate you now, and create an exact copy of you somewhere else, you'd think you'd be dead, regardless of the copy.So nobody in their right minds would want to teleport, right?

But that's not how it works.

Say I swapped out a single carbon atom from your body with another single carbon atom from somewhere in the universe.

That wouldn't kill you, right?

Say I swapped out 50% of all of your atoms with atoms from somewhere else in the universe. That still shouldn't kill you, as no one isotope is different from another isotope. It's not like your atoms have little name tags on them.

And the same applies for 100% of all your atoms. If you accept that swapping all of your atoms out isn't killing you, you should accept that teleporting isn't killing you either.

So teleporting doesn't kill you.

What if I keep an exact copy of you in a matrix-like form of stasis where it's brain structure is the exact same as yours. And then I terminate you, but keep the copy. What would be the difference between that and teleportation? Nothing

So if the universe is infinite, it stands to reason that there are an infinite amount of yours that survive through things that you don't, and so you never need to fear dying.

Any more questions?

>>114547

>>114543

Whatever you gotta tell yourself dude.

I'm glad you found something strong enough to push that mortal terror away.

>>115197

I used to think about questions like this as well. I will do you one better though.

Imagine that you were cut perfectly down the middle and then both halves of you were somehow kept alive.

What would happen to your consciousness? You would still have half a brain and studies have shown that people with half a hemisphere removed can still live and function. Aside from the differences between left and right brain though you would be two conscious versions of yourself.

What would happen to your sense of consciousness though? One minute you perceive the world through two eyes and two linked brain hemispheres, the next through a single eye and a single hemisphere (or perhaps not because I believe the eyes are controlled by their opposite brain hemisphere). It's still you but now in two distinct locations and forms. How would the 'you' that sees and experiences the world go through this change, what would the continuation of consciousness be like?

I once asked a psychology expert about it and he gave me the analogy that consciousness, as we understand it is a property not a condition/object(?). If you pour half a glass of water into another glass the water is still wet. The wetness being the equivalent of consciousness. Water has wetness and brains have consciousness. I still don't understand it and I try not to think about it too much.

I think it provides an interesting parallel to your statement about teleportation, which itself goes back to a philosophical debate about how much of a boat you can replace before it becomes a new boat entirely.

The problem, I think, with the teleportation statement is; that even if you could assemble an exact copy of yourself you would still only perceive the world from you own view. You would still only experience your own consciousness.

Whose to say that if aliens instantly swapped out 100% of the molecules in your brain with molecules from elsewhere, perfectly into their correct positions that your consciousness would continue? Perhaps the you that sees through your eyes would be effectively dead and the new you would just be a copy that had its own consciousness that told it that there had been no interruption in its existence. It would not believe that it had ever not been you but at the same time it wouldn't be you.

>Perhaps the you that sees through your eyes would be effectively dead and the new you would just be a copy that had its own consciousness that told it that there had been no interruption in its existence. It would not believe that it had ever not been you but at the same time it wouldn't be you.

Who is to say that every few moments an entirely new you isn't born, and moments later dies. The you from when you wrote that post is gone forever. Who was he? What was he doing? That was someone else.

The you that is reading my post is an entirely new one with an illusion of continuity. In a few minutes it will be gone.

>>114901

We aren't the only intelligent life. We are just the only life on earth that has language and higher reasoning abilities. Even dogs, ants, and fish have consciousness and intelligence. It's just that their mental abilities are weaker than ours. It's like comparing a modern supercomputer to a 1950's computer. Only difference is in power and ability.

As far as purpose goes. That's were things get murky. We want purpose because we like organization and linear concepts. I eat because I am hungry, I sleep because I am tired, that sort of thing. If there is no organization, if there is no purpose then this, all of this, is just pointless chaos.

Why does the universe exist? What came before it? What comes after? Is it all just one big pointless thing that loops endlessly onto itself in a ceaseless circle?

If that were the case I think I could cope with that. Knowing that none of it matters and it just goes on forever in a meaningless repeating cycle. I wish I knew more about physics so I could think about these things beyond the conceptualization of a layman.

Hopefully this world, the universe itself, isn't linear. That would be truly sad. To think that the universe itself is mortal and that there was nothing before it and that there will be nothing after it.

Because it's all gotta end some day. Eventually all of the matter reaches stability and there is no more fuel to burn. No more chemical reactions to take place, no more work to be done. Red shift means that eventually all of the matter in the universe will be so spaced out that there will be an eternity of distance between even single molecules. Everything everywhere going cold and silent, either for eternity or until the next universe is created. Hell, maybe we'd never see a new universe because when they get created they exist on a different plane. So for all we know this universe might be it for us and even if we figured out how to stop the aging process it would only delay the inevitable.
