What do you think of afterlife?

[Anderson]

Do you think it just darkness and nothing else.

引用自 Voice in your head Fred：

We cannot prove there is an afterlife

We cannot prove there isn't an afterlife

If I may get Lovecraftian for a minute, how do you know? The afterlife would just be another dimension, thus it would be able to be proven scientifically in some why. There have already been studies involving higher dimensions. Things behave strangely on the quantum level that still isn't understood. there are too many oddities to just simply dismiss them.

Ideas of the afterlife or resurrection were made up to make death less scary. No one likes the idea of being nothing, so we lie.

Lies make us happy.

Your other posts make sense now. You really fit the edgy atheist stereotype quite well.

Nice to know that someone is reading my ramblings.

Gotta ask, though. How is having a realistic view on life "edge"? From my understanding people just use words like edge to denigrate others they don't agree with. Am I wrong here?

It isn't really much of a realistic view, more so a pessimistic view. A realistic view would be we would never know. So that is why you are being called edgy.

You only remain as long you survive in a memmory.

Ladies and Gentlemen;

Once you reach Afterlife, there is no turning back here. Current life is not bullshıt nor a coincidence. Every phenomenon has a reason.

Realistic = pessimistic because you don't like the answer? Got it.

I literally just explained what a realistic view would be, you have no proof for your so called "realistic views".

What´s pessimistic about it? Just asking as the optimist i am... What´s pessimistic about enjoying the time we have - instead of dreaming about some afterlife? A realistic view tells me that people like to be important or special - so much that they can´t even imagine that their life would end some day - and it was of "no worth" at all, because we all define the "worth" of it in a subjective way which can´t be objective, which opens a way for all kinds of fantasy, which isn´t bad at all, but also not realistic. The "we would never know" part is something everyone could always say - but it doesn´t mean it´s realistic. A realistic view would be that beliefs are a personal things and everyone has to decide on his own if something is "right" or "wrong". But reality is that there are a lot of people who like to decide what other people have to think about it - to make subjective things objective...

Oh - i don´t think there´s an afterlife. :o)

Nah, lies keep us sane. Even the ones that don't necessarily make us happy. Even the ones you believe in. You believe in them because you couldn't cope with life otherwise.

It's not about making ourselves happy, it's about keeping oversight. We're logical creatures, therefore we need lies.

I'm saying nothing exists after we die. You're saying something exists, the burden of proof that something exists lies with you.
Something doesn't exist until you can prove it, until then it's just a theory.

By your logic ghosts may exist because we don't have evidence to prove that they don't exist.

When it comes to scientific method, a "theory" is the most solid thing you have to work with, not just a wild guess. I would have thought you knew that.

And when it comes to scientific method, you also need to account for the fact that you don't know everything rather than pretend the only things that exist are the ones you know about. I would have thought you knew that, too.

Existance is a funny thing. Neptune existed for billions of years before anyone "proved it".

As for afterlife? You believe there isn't one. I don't believe anything - I simply don't know, nor do I need to know. I don't even think it matters. If there is one, fine; and if there isn't, also fine. Won't be relevant to me until I die, either way.

afterlife is the same as beforelife = nothing.

You are confusing a few things and also talking past each other.
Objecting to the religious thoughts of it is reasonable and also realistic. But you did, at the same time, claim to have the answer - that there isn't anything instead. That claim is as baseless as the religious ones and thus not rational.
It's not about proving that ghosts or magical unicorns don't exist, it's about keeping the theoretical possibility that there might be some things that we don't know about.
It's more or less about the tiny difference between an atheistic and agnostic standpoint.

if afterlife didn't exist why do ghosts exist?
