Well, when we die, the human organ known as the brain stops functioning. Causing us to go into a type of eternal sleep. This would call for the "blackness". If you wan't to go into the soul theory. I belive that we either wait for judgement day, or we will be reincarnated as ourselves - in another type of dimension type of thing, and we relive our lives differently each time. Yeah, I know, I sound crazy, but its my mina beleifs. I have 3, becuase nobody really knows what happens when we die, but I am mainly leaning toward the eternal sleep / blackness theroy.
Very interestinh thread. I've had nightmares about this subject for countless years, I've even found myself crying and wondering why I was even created. Now my point of view is a very strange one I guess. I was raised a Christian and took the faith whole heartedly accepting God into my heart. Then my Grandpa died and everything changed, no one had answers except he went to heaven. Slowly more people died. Now of course I wanted / want to believe they are in heaven no one can be sure. I think only one theory is right and the rest are just claims to fall back on so everyone doesnt panic and waste their lives. Really now, I believe in God, Heaven. Hell. etc but do you think the world would be what it is today without all these religon claims? If we did know what happend after we die, say we get re born then everyone would waste their lives and treat it as nothing. God / Devil in my mind is real but in others they dont have too, they could just be a ploy to make everyone secure and not worry thinking everything is fine when they die and if they are good in life then all is well. It may be bad that I question my faith at times but I think everyone does no matter what you say everyone thinks about their faith/religon and death. Its a part of life I guess and everyone will find out sooner or may it be later. Thats just my thoughts at 1:30 AM in the morning.
I think it's really best not to think about it much. What happens, happens, no need wasting time contemplating it. I really don't have a clue what happens and no one probably ever will. Heh, makes it more fun.
Soul is just a word, used to describe our personality, and the way we are, in essane, our "soul" i just us... i dont know what happens after we die, and to be honest, i no longer caree-i have grown up in a christian school all my life and nothing they have said has convinced me to become a christian.
The thing that turned me of religion at a young age is the fact that theres so many of them, it's highly unlikely even one of them is right, so, maybe all or mayb all but one will be false and people will waste their lives on nothing. Too much of a gamble.
