Where do you think you'll go when you die?

Post Reply New Topic

When you're laying on your death bed and theres minutes before your death, what do you think will happen when you die? Do you believe you're going to heaven to reunite with former family members, or reincarnate to a new life here on Earth? Or do you believe in eternal oblivion, that when you die you cease to exist?

Into a box, and then into the ground or a furnace.

I'd like for my body to be burnt up or dissolved via alkaline hydrolysis, and scattered/poured into the immediately closest available patch of ground.

There is no evidence of a soul or other personal continuity after death, so I see no reason to put stock into vain, childish, and futile delusions of spiritual immortality.

I don't know, but probably cease to exist.

I don't believe in an afterlife, but if there is one, I'll probably end up in Purgatory for a while.

I really have no precise idea.

With my lack of religious beliefs, I am inclined (alas) to believe that we are just absorbed in the earth.

However....wouldn't it be something if there was some of kind of "heaven"--or even "purgatory" where one has to "work towards" going up to heaven?

I often used to say that if there was a Hell, that's probably where I would end up, but thinking about it now, I'm really not THAT much of a heretic. Now, a good part of my family is Catholic, and even though I'm not practicing, I often wonder if maybe they're right, and if what they believe in is true. It certainly seems more plausible to me than the various Protestant faiths, though that may just be personal bias from being raised around it.

Not sure yet, but I believe in heaven and hell, though, and when my time comes (hopefully not for a long time), I'm more than willing to see what heaven is like. I don't know what hell looks like, and I really don't want to know

I would have been the first to choose the reincarnation one, but it failed to mention that we can be reborn anywhere, not just Earth.....like the fourth dimension or even a purely different universe.

I believe in some kind of heaven or afterlife after death, but it is difficult to know for sure.

I hope to go to a coin-operated arcade in the sky with Dragon's Lair (circa 1983), Donkey Kong, and Donkey Kong Junior. A fast version of Ms. Pac-Man will be there for the extra holy.

Asda (a supermarket). Most of the people I see in there look as if they've come straight from the set of Dawn Of The Dead.

I don't believe in god so i think i would cease to exist. If there is an afterlife though id probably be sent to hell for being a non believer.

I don't see any reason to imagine that the mind and body are two different things, so naturally, when my body dies (i.e. brain death), my mind will cease to exist as well, and there will be no "I" to go anywhere, apart from my mortal remains, which will most likely be burned.

It would be nice to think that there is some kind of "immortal soul" that jumps out of its meat suit at the point of death, but given the biological and neurological mechanisms we now know about for so many mental phenomena, I can't see there'd be much left that this "soul" could do or be. Oh well, going out like a candle flame is probably better than the alternative that the ancients believed. I'd be scared stiff of going to hell for choosing the wrong religion, failing to stick to the rules properly, failing to repress atheistic thoughts.

I believe that I will go to a land of cute animals.
