    I like the answer that it's just like before birth, conception or whatever. Pure nothingness.

    Muslims find the idea of fading away to be scary and unacceptable but to be honest I think fading into non existence like you were before your birth is really poetic especially if you have lived a fulfilling life.

    Reminds me of a quote from Dawkins

    Quote
    Matter flows from place to place and momentarily comes together to be you. Some people find that thought disturbing. I find the reality thrilling

    In my opinion a life without curiosity is not a life worth living

    Mark Twain quote, from his autobiography:

    "Annihilation has no terrors for me, because I have already tried it before I was born—a hundred million years—and I have suffered more in an hour, in this life, than I remember to have suffered in the whole hundred million years put together."

     Cheesy I remember that.
    `But I don't want to go among mad people,' Alice remarked.
     `Oh, you can't help that,' said the Cat: `we're all mad here. I'm mad.  You're mad.'
     `How do you know I'm mad?' said Alice.
     `You must be,' said the Cat, `or you wouldn't have come here.'

    I sometimes wonder if an afterlife and the existence of a god could be mutually exclusive.

    There could be a god and no afterlife. There could be an afterlife and no god. I personally find the former more likely than the latter.

    Why? They both seem equally likely (even assuming non-zero probability).

    Reminds me of a quote from Dawkins



    Part of us will always exist until the end of matter, energy and time itself. My death gives life to other creatures and planets, the cycle continues. Part of me becomes tree, part becomes that bird in the tree. Long after the Earth is gone a part of me may become a new form of life on a distance planet.

    People focus on the whole and ignore the parts of the whole. It is the nature of our ego.

    I think out of the two choices, it is more likely to be an afterlife with no god.  Depends what you define as "god", an infinite god as a creator with personality or some kind of finite sole source universal energy.  For an infinite creator god with personality, there would have to be purpose to existence, what ever that may be ?  i cant imagine a creator god making finite beings, not sure why though lol.. My brain hurts : / Smiley

    How could there be an afterlife?

    Does your afterlife theory include the idea of a soul?

    How can a soul exist? What organ is responsible for it? And how does it use energy after the body is dead?

    Or does your afterlife theory include defying the laws of nature? (i mean, in order for the soul idea to be possible, it would have to have some mechanism for using energy, or the afterlife theory would have to defy the laws of nature.)

    If this contradiction is not resolved in your afterlife theory, then why do you think it has a likelihood of being true?

    Do you also have the desire to be serious and find the truth? If you do, I'd prefer the serious-finding-the-truth thing.
