Do you believe in life after death?

[AlexTANNER]

Personally, I do not. It's an obvious cope for so many reasons.

Consciousness can be pretty well-explained within the brain; from all observations. So without it, there is no "you" nor life as we know it to experience

Though, I wouldn't mind hearing what you have to say, on the matter

Does life is of death put you in a life or death to keep living onwards toward death but not life and the death or what?

Everyone who dies gets their body dragged by a roboticist and then has their brain cut out and stuck into a borg.

I hope so. My worst fear is reincarnation being real and being reborn as an indian.

reincarnation is real, escape while you can

The Bible talks in length about this.

When you die you will end up in a McDonald's floating in intergalactic space and the McDonald's has no door and there's nobody in there and you can't hear anything except a faint pulse of a clock ticking

I remember hacing a long discussion with one of my psychology teachers about consciousness, phenomenal experience and such.

I was defending physicalist monism and the "consciousness is a product of the brain theory" (Even though I don't believe it ofc), and my atheist teacher answered me that while this sure is the most believed theory within the scientific community, the scientific community as a whole had a really hard time coping with near death experiences.

Near death experiences are recorded cases of people having their brain activity completely stop for a while on the EEG scan, meaning everything shutdown, and restart a few minutes later. These cases are extremelly rare.

Curious thing though : Patients who underwent these experiences then vocally testify to having been subject to sensory experiences, with them hearing and seeing mostly stuff happening in the room they were in, sometimes in the room next door, and so on and so forth. This is rather consistent.

Now, scientist have tried to answer this phenomenok with multiple theories and explanations, but none are really satisfactory because you can read the cope in their studies. VERY small samples, poor methodology, hasty conclusions, asspulled theories... you have it.

Anyway, near death experiences are something the scientific community puts under the rug a bit, and something physicalist monism can't answer.
At least it kils the "brain is the source of consciousness theory" in my opinion.

Aren't near-death experiences kinda pointless though, at least when viewing them from a religious perspective? If God is all-knowing, wouldn't he not want to... err... "spoil" the afterlife to someone who he knows is going to come back?

1. This is relevant to, as mentionned in the text, a physicalist monist position, as it directly contradicts it.

2. Why ? Since when has "spoiling" been a rule ? You know religious people believe in miracles right ? Why would God ever show miracles if he didn't want to spoil stuff ?
Ts logic so tuff boi

Why would I want to escape?

Put suncintly;
Life in and of itself is a journey toward death, so what would an ‘after’ would even mean?

We're not giving this man enough credit.
