Do you believe in an afterlife or do you believe we turn into nothing when we die?

[JamieJambo]

I could imagine most of us who actually go ahead with suicide, don't believe in an after life.

I personally do. I think that's why I can't go ahead with it.

I do not believe that there is anything after this, when we lose consciousness, we cease to exist. Death is true peace and freedom from all suffering. I believe that death is like how before we were born, time passed and yet we were not aware of anything.

do you believe youll go to hell for it? i believe in reincarnation

 

[locked*n*loaded]

Another vote for nothing. At least I hope it is. And it better not be reincarnation, because I don't want to come back to this forsaken place as anything, not me again, not an animal, not a tree, nothing. I don't want any do-overs. If there's a heaven, that means there, most likely, is a "god", and I don't want to be there, either, since I would have real problems with any "being" who, for ANY reason, could create a place like this. I don't care what "his/her" rationale for making such a place would be. And, for obvious reason, I don't want to be in hell. Nope, I hope it's nothing.

I don't know tbh... I do think there is a chance that were ever we go at the beginning, it could be incredibly scary and confusing

There is no need for speculation we cant know

 

[Fadeawaaaay]

I'm guessing nothing but there's no evidence one way or the other

Exactly this ^^^
We return to the state we were in before we were born. A peaceful nothingness.

I also find comfort in realising that my physical self - all my carbon and atoms, etc - will be reabsorbed into trees and plants and then other creatures, and so I'll become something else.

We never know and no one ever come back to tell us so we didnt know nothing exept what religiin want.

If I believed in nothingness after I would just continue suffering. That's my opinion. However, I do not believe in nothingness. Let's just put it like this, I'm going to be one pissed off sack of energy if I just float into a void of nothingness. I'm dying because I'm sick of suffering. Nothingness is more suffering to me

 

[Rational man]

There's no god or bearded bastard await to judge anyone. Its absurd to believe. I mean who does the admin on each life death in the place called purgatory. Eventually, each and everyone will die,in their own way. Whatsoever happens after death is a mystery but i believe our identity ceases. Our body turns to dust, back to the source of nature and eventually, blasted into the cosmos whenever mother earth implodes.

You can believe in an afterlife and not be religious. I believe in eternal life, but I am not at all religious.

I often wonder if humans just like to believe we are more important than we are. We like to believe that there is a reason for all this suffering, or that our existence has a purpose. I believe that things just are. You die and that's it. You don't come back, go on some spiritual journey, or meet your God. You die and the world just keeps going. I really think religion and spirituality are a way for humans to feel important. It would kill some people to realize that their existence just happened by chance.
