What do you think happens to us when we die? Do you believe in heaven and hell? Do you believe in reincarnation? Do you think we simply cease to exist? Do we go to the great comedy forum in the sky where we post for eternity?

Thoughts about what happens to us when we die..

Paradise. But it's paradise as imagined by people who wrote the bible so it's really disappointing. A big bowl of porridge and a good hat, that kind of lame poo poo.

Tbh I used to spend a lot of time considering that your identity isn't really a solid object and more of a bunch of loosely related functions kinda ambling along. We are nothing now and after :)

You know those hackneyed and overdone "A character who is clearly me, the writer, dies, and this is what happens next" stories? Everyone with even the slightest pretension of being an author writes something like that sooner or later. People always think they are being clever or putting a new spin on it, but (with only a few famous exceptions) they tend to be really dull, derivative, and oh so familiar.

If you ever wrote one like that, that's what you'll get. Exactly that. The universe punishes you for your hubris.

The people who were in their grim, dark, violently "realistic" phase when they did it get it pretty bad. But the true hell is people who were in their Douglass Adams Knockoff phase. They remain trapped, forever, in a world ruled by their own, personal attempts at dry but quirky British humour.

But I don't mean that in a bad way. It's actually pretty cool. Or would be if it wasn't so hard to get yourself stuck into the ground unembalmed with no casket when you die.

My consciousness has at last left my mortal shell, upward I float- surely, to Heaven, as my experiences here have prepared me to accept?

But no, alas- I ascend farther and farther away from the planet of my last habitation, realizing only now that it was a means to placate us, the inhibitors of these worlds, during the time we were in our mortal shells.

Further and further away I fly, until I am now in interstellar space, between the stars, occasionally sensing the presence of my brethren around me.

For now I must float adrift in space, disconnected from a physical shell, contemplating the previous lives I had experienced until fate and the cosmos should allow me to intercept another world with sentient life.

For only then will I be able continue this existence- inhabiting the next newborn child, only to repeat the process on a new world.

As it was with the last world I inhabited...


Honestly, I have no loving clue, but that kinda seems fun.

trapped in samsara, OP. As far as I can tell life is an endless cyclical experience of suffering, and once you're alive there is no going back. The idea of an afterlife is pretty quaint, like you get 20% off mcdonald's and it has air conditioning. Void take me.

I used to have this daydream that I missed my own death somehow and was living some kind of solipsistic afterlife that I was not aware of. Like my brain activity in the last few minutes of my life somehow surpassed the constraints of time and what was perhaps 7 minutes of activity was perceived as an eternity by me... or just an endless string of time where I think I am still alive.

You get reincarnated as yourself but with a slightly bigger or smaller dick depending on multiple factors but primarily based on how many cats you pet.

In the afterlife, you could be headed for the serious strife. Now you make the scene all day but tomorrow there will be hell to pay.
