Death

[Chips]

This is kind of a grim topic, but:
What does it feel like to die? What would you like it to?
This is what I've heard. I've heard when you're body starts to shut down, your still "alive" for 7 minutes, which your whole life is replayed in 7 minutes. That would be so sweet, yet so sad. Also, that I'm falling asleep, but not instantly like normal. Like slowly.
That's what I heard, but due to my religion, I believe you follow a tunnel to light, to heaven where eternal peace and prosperity awaits. Or you can go to Hell, where eternal damnation awaits aswell.
Well, discuss awayyyyy!

I heard it was 7 seconds but yeah wierd topic.

I don't want to bring too much religion into this, but in my religion we believe that when someone dies, they are resurrected and, in a way, ascended to a higher state of being in the heaven.
It is described by some as entering a dark tunnel, then seeing the light at the end, getting slowly closer and closer until you finally emerge above Earth with all the other spirits. I also believe that we will have a perfect memory up there of our life and our existence before Earth. I'm sure we'll all spend a lot of time reflecting on our mortal existence here and making fun of the things we stupidly did wrong :D
I think the feeling behind death just depends on how you died, and after that all feeling is gone since your body has stopped working.

Personally I want my death to be somewhat quick and painless. I would hate to rot away in an old folks home with a terrible disease for years.

Death is really such a blurry topic, and I hope you (and everyone else) aren't planning to experiment with it any time soon

Yep, I'm Christian, and I believe that too. I just wrote what I heard. Should edit it :D

How Different Religions view the Afterlife

Spoiler: Faith

Personally, as a Christian, my faith is primarily grounded on the fact that the universe could not possibly be by chancel and besides, how what made the Big Bang happen? Science itself states that you can't create something from nothing.

Believing in life after death also provides some peace of mind; something to work towards; some meaning to life. To be honest, I would find the world a whole lot more depressing if there was nothing to expect after dying.

I kinda don't practice religion, so my thoughts are either affected by all of them, or none of them, so...

I honestly feel like it's like falling asleep and never waking up. Since your brain shuts down, it's like you aren't even dreaming, either... But, I like to think there's something filling the empty void.

 

[ZombiePineapple]

Death is just an ideal. It only exists when you think about it. Therefore the grim reaper is imaginary until you start thinking about death. I think about it every day because you only got 1 life once it's gone game over, no respawns no checkpoints, it's over you are gone. But again it's only an ideal, it's only real if you think about it.

Sorry but when it comes to topics like this I usually ain't a funny or witty guy at this time, so I'm sorry if anyone was hurt by my post I do apologize

 

[Jivvi]

I would honestly find it depressing to have certain knowledge that nothing was waiting for me; that there was no other side.

 

[Zelz]

Though not religious, I am fairly spiritual and I feel though there is something after we go. What, I do not know, but I really feel there is some form of afterlife. I've heard a few convincing stories about evidence of afterlife, such as Edward Austrian. I'm getting a little personal here, but not to mention, I have seen things move by themselves without explanation as to how, I feel presences very often, and that can only mean that either 1) I'm going insane or 2) our spirit lives on, and if it really does, that is a form of life after death in my eyes.

So yeah, that's my thoughts on this.

 

[Enderfive]

I don't belong in any religion nor do I fully believe in any that I've heard of so far, but I do believe that there is a spirit of sorts that every human being has and it will live on after your body dies. I don't really believe in heaven or hell, reincarnation on the other hand is something I'm more willing to put my faith in. A thing I like to think is that there is only one spirit in the world and that spirit reincarnates endlessly, so, in essence, we'd all actually be the same person.

 

[Jayfeather]

In my opinion a life after this one is wishful thinking, but I know it clashes with a lot of major religions, and ones posted here so I'm not gonna go into anything on that, hooooooowever because of that I do think that means you should live 100 percent while you're here

 

[std1997]

I'm a Christian so our point of view is like when you die. You are taken up to the Judgement seat where Jesus judges you on the things you've done in life. Now the whole point of believing in Jesus is so that you may find eternal forgiveness in him and eternal life. So when he does start judging you. He will go through every sin you've ever done in your life but in the end, he will pick you up and take you to heaven.

Now many Christians argue on that topic and others argue about what you do in Heaven though most agree that once you do get into Heaven. You'll spent about 100% of your time just worshiping God. Others believe he gives you a mansion in heaven where you'll live your life out as a normal person day to day but instead of a corrupt government and perverted people everywhere. You'd live next to saints and God would be your sole source of government.

I apologize if my views don't make any sense. I'm not really planning on dying anytime soon so outside of how my religion views death. I've not really looked into it.

My name speaks for itself...

 

[Notme]

What a grim thread for this community :D
I'm atheist, so I'll just end up dividing 0 by 0 in finite amount of time. (no data in, no data out no data processed).

 

[Naoh]

Right, so. Personally I have a high paranoia of death, possibly due the fact that I am not the greatest guy in the history of nice guys, but I believe that there is an afterlife. @Jivvi summed it all up nicely. :)

Personally, I think that it would take more faith to believe in nothing... that we came out of nothing... and that in the end, there is nothing.

 

[BiggestKirbyFan]

Well after I die I would like to be resurrected and be reborn in the next life and then start life over again ;D? lel

Its called reincarnation, you can believe in it, if you want :D

 

[Timdood3]

I'm not a real religious guy, but my thoughts have tended towards the Buddhist reincarnation side of things. Without even thinking about if it's true or not, I often find myself considering consequences by how it would affect my next lives, instead of just this one.

Don't mean to start arguments and I don't know every single denomination of Christianity but I'm pretty sure inso far as heaven vs. hell you are not guaranteed heaven because of forgiveness because at that point in judgement it is never Jesus condemning you to hell, but it is Church theology that ones actions condemn themselves
[if this is out of line for an offtopic post I can delete or edit or whatever]

I guess I should've mentioned that my branch's view of Christianity since I'm fairly certain that (obvious by your post) not every Christian/Christian branch thinks the same way about what happens in the after-life.

There's nothing really to argue about. Unless you've been dead before and know what happens when you die.

Right right, I added the denomination thing because although I know 100 percent what the Catholic Church in particular teaches, I have only very general knowledge outside of that.

Ooo, here's a lighter approach, if no one stated it yet.

Dying could just lead you to the world of Game Over, where you must work for your extra life.

And if you already have an extra life, you'll just reset to your previous save point... Thus, deja vu.

If multiverse matrix exists . Also you're permabanned from this universe XD

I believe in reincarnation, although I am not a very religious person.

I don't think there is heaven or hell, no golden stairways up to the clouds where you stand in a long queue of recently dead people and then you reach that golden gate where an angel stands and tells you if it is hell or heaven. There is also no magma dominated hell where the devil and his demons take part in cruel slave work, torture and endless pain, stabbing the souls of the people with red hot pitchforks.

They say you die twice; one time whenever your heart stops beating, and your soul leaves your body, and a second time, a while later whenever your name is last spoken by someone living.
