Afterlife

Reincarnation, if that is not a option then nothing. I find the whole heaven type thing rather odd and don't desire it.

 

I also believe in reincarnation, and since I think all living things can be reincarnated, I might end up as a tree, a fly, a tiger, or another human. Hell, maybe I'll become an alien ten zillion light years away from Earth. Who knows?

 

I'd like to be re-incarnated into someone with a voice, someone who could speak up for equality, and be more than just someone in a crowd.
Or heaven. As in a place with ups and downs, a little variation to keep things interesting, but good, and less stressful than here. And after a decade or so, when I'm ready to live again, I'd just pop down to Earth and live another life.... maybe even as a man!
Wherever I go, I want to remember in some small way what happened in this life, and the lessons I've learned.

 

Same here, especially the books. I want to learn forever.

 

None

I don't like myself enough to want an afterlife

 

Good point. I would like to know about every facet of every discipline; given an eternity to do so, and considering the probable developments in every field of study among the living, I suspect I should have rather a long while to occupy myself. However, should the universe prove finite and the afterlife offer nothing more in the way of knowledge, Heaven may quickly become an extravagantly boring place indeed.

 

I would chose reincarnation, that way you live multiple times and forget you lived before....therefore you wont get bored.....but part of me wishes for a place where Im free to do whatever I want whenever I want it...even though that sounds like that episode of the twilight zone where the guy thinks he's in heaven but hes actually in hell....

 

reincarnation 100% all the way

that just seems so cool to me

 

This is a tough one, because humans of any age can't even really conceive of 'eternity.' Obviously no one would want to endure eternal torment (though i like Twain's comment on "hell for company" and the idea of a hell full of gay orgies). Reincarnation seems pointless to me, since we couldn't recall the previous life.

I guess nothingness seems far most likely regardless what i'd prefer. I don't it's anything to fear. We didn't suffer during our billions of years of nonexistence before birth after all. I was put under for surgery 23 times the past few months. This is what i think death is like, except there's no waking up.

 

What if you go to heaven and don't like it, what then? Are you doomed to be stuck there for all eternity or is there a way out?

 

It makes my head spin, actually. Like when I try to think of the concept of nothingness: If it's a state of nonexistence, doesn't that make it SOMETHING, and therefore not nothing ...? Makes me feel seasick!
