nothing

hard for me to believe that a "soul" can live on.

on a more serious note:

"Rick Astley Concert"

I just still find it hard that everything just shuts down once you die.

I mean that sucks major cock

yes but you wouldn't be "OHHH COCK YOU GOD!" if there is nothing.

and if there is you'd be like "ahhh ok"

You get rick rolled.

Your conscience is a product of your biological brain. When that stops working, the conscience being that you are stops too.

It would be nice to think there is a heaven to go too, but to be honest when you realise there is actually nothing there you'll be past the stage when it actually mattered whether there was or not.

Ok, I'll be contrary.

Physical death is the release of the spiritual "other dimensional" self.  Consider modern physics posits that there could be up to 11 dimensions making up our universe.  Four we know of: front/back, left/right, up/down, and time.  The others we only speculate on through the math we have discovered but evidence suggests they exist.

It is plausible that the spiritual side of us continues and is actually released (kinda cocoon like) when we die.  Our spiritual energy, or soul, is just that; a cohesive energy that is eternal.  Remember energy can't be created or destroyed but it can be transformed.  This is what death is imo, the end of one existence and the start of something wholly different.

I don't believe in Heaven or Hell or any of that other shit, because there's evidence that it was just a way of scaring children into being good and whatnot.  I'm giving a null vote, I'm agnostic.

Your body returns to the earth (burial, whatever) and your spirit (yes, an actual ghost inside your physical body) returns from whence it came pending judgment and then you live forever in a place befitting your judgment.

I have it from a friend who has been in an ER long enough (now works a morgue) that says there is a physical difference felt when someone dies.  You can actually feel the spirit leaving the body.

And I've read several volumes of near death experience books with hundreds of personal testimonies of people experiencing things that more than prove to me the existence of another life/plain, etc beyond this mortal coil. 

Even if there were "proof" that there is nothing after this life, it'd have to beat down thousands of years of religious proof and personal experiences..in short, it would be impossible to prove nothing after this life IMHO.

I believe the first part, but not the latter.  That said, I guess the place befitting my judgement won't be too nice?

IF heaven exists, I'd imagine it is nothing like this:



I'd imagine, if it exists, it's like a resort hotel.  Hell could hypothetically be more like a grimey Motel 6 where there's a bunch of hookers with STDs and only 4 channels on the TV and whatnot, and the soda machine doesn't work.

Actually, I prefer the hypothetical idea of something like Wristcutters: A Love Story.  A world that's basically just like ours, just better, or worse, populated with all the people who died in the past and blah blah blah.  <emo>I largely don't believe in Heaven/Hell, but a side of me does, simply out of hope that atleast someday I could meet the angel in my poetry:

It will never be me,
Will it?

I cry,
And I wait,
And I scratch at the walls,
Waiting,
And wanting

I'll never hold your hand,
And hear you say you love me,
I'll always wait,
False hope in my heart,
You're so cold.

I don't blame you, Angel,
You stepped on my heart,
By accident,
Not even knowing who I am

It'll always be you,
And one of them,
The ones that know who you are,
And I'll wait,
Staring at my tv screen,
Needing you,
And knowing,
I'm never gonna be with you.

</emo>

Hmmm, I'd like to think heaven but I dont see the whole living in the clouds with wings thing being practical. 

I look to science to try and explain things to me, but, when you look at the fact that science by it's sheer definition cant prove or disprove any sort of mythical being and/or afterlife, it really is a case of enjoy your time while you can and see how things go :\.
