We are going to live after we die in the souls of all the people that love us and remember us. If we leave something great behind like inventions, art, any big knowledge and ideas we are going to live for generations to come. But if there is no people that loved us and nothing great left behind we are going to die as soon as our organs shut down and than we just become peace of decomposing flesh.

The physical body ceases to consume or produce energy, and begins to decompose as the bacterium residing within it begin to assimilate the energy stored in bodily tissues. All processes related to and that depended upon the body's production of energy also cease, and the electrical impulses that previously coursed through the body to coordinate this production cease as well. The organism's awareness (or conciousness) thus leaves the physical body, since it can longer be supported through the body, and if the electrical field generated by those previous electrical impulses (consciousness) is to continue to survive, it must find another entity, or another vessel, if you will, that will be able to support it in a way that ensures that it's previous electrical field state (or consciousness) will be supported. In other words, this field has to find something other than the previous physical body to identify itself with, or, 'as'. I may have just proven that consciousness is able to exist as long as there is a vessel that generates processes to support it...I may have just proven possible life, or awareness, after physical death.

You decompose, you push up daisies. The laws of thermodynamics don't guarantee you any special favors about your 'energy'. If it did and your 'energy' went trolling off into another dimension in the spirit world I think me might be breaking the laws of physics. It's just not going to happen. So, that means party like hell and live a great life while you have the opportunity to have one!

I am agnostic too.
For me the main questions are ?
Should we choose an stlyle of live in accordance with our vision of afterlife ?
Should be our acts "corrects" in order to achive a better afterlife ?
I think, NO
I think we must do what we feel, and, in this case, why do we think about de afterlife ?

We dont know thats why there are so many religions and gurus who are talking about after life and souls ext...
I think we are all energy somehow and our energy moves in universe like radio signals.

What about looking at it from the other direction? Before we were born,
there was no 'before' life. Why should there be an afterlife?

Let's make the most of it while we can.

Well, obviously no one really knows what will happen when we die...Besides, if we did, we wouldn't be any debate.

I believe that nothing will happen. Perhaps that is the big ironic ending to life. We worry for our entire life about what will happen when we die; then you die and you don't even know it happened. It would be like a person being afraid of Alzheimer's disease and then when they get it, they dont' realize they even have it.

I hope to be sitting on a beach smoking a hookah with my friends and family like someone mentioned earlier, but that is what life is for now. Smoke a hookah on a beach with your friends and family today.

All my life I've heard the expression: "they are in a better place now", and for some reason I believed it. Now I believe a more realistic expression would be: "life is not fair".

Well honestly I can't expect anything. We'll probably just fade to black. That's it. No afterlife or anything like that.

I do believe that heaven and hell are totally bogus, and I have vast amounts of evidence backing that up.

I really hope that we all go to paradise when we die, where everyone's negative attitudes and emotions are eliminated, and everyone has fun. Maybe not all together, heh, but any way you want. Do what you do.

I hope I end up smoking hookah on a tropical cool beach with my family and friends and a really good lookin female, with infinite drinks, gourmet cuisine, and good music. Can you feel me?

I think there's nothing. Fade to black.

For those who believe in an afterlife, I do have to ask 'why'?

The universe tends toward simplicity. What would the reason be for an afterlife? I understand the reasons that people would WANT an afterlife, but I don't understand why there would or should be one.

I believe that when we die, its over. No afterlife, thats it. No heaven, no hell, no ghosts, our body decomposes and we cease to exist, except in peoples mind.

As a friend put it, when you die, the TV turns off. At least, this is the most likely situation. But who really knows for sure? May be there is something after all. It could be anything. But I'm ready to bet that it would be nothing like the heavens imagined by the big religions. Angels signing on clouds? And how many virgins for the Muslims? It is so obvious this was imagined by people.

Well, I think when you die your soul in your body goes up to heaven and you have a wonderful life there.

I believe that your brain creates a matrixs of whatever your opinion of the after life is if christain you will goto heaven if agnostic whatever your brain subconsiously creates in your dream. I think this because as a person dies a chemical is produced in your brain. this chemical is the same chemical that is produced when your dreaming. and because dreaming is the only way people can be transported into a diffrent plain of perseption an entirely diffrent enviourment with only your subconsious to fuel it nothing within your physical reality effects your dreams as you wake up and if your dont wake up what happens you stay in your world dont u ooooooooooooo your brain creates a matrix of your subconsious perseption of what the after life is. aint that cool do u think this is would change peoples perception into accepting itself as a species instead of slowing ourselfs from progress in technology with war amongst ourselfs and disputing religious beliefs and hating others for silly reasons. anyways reply on my topics for more info.

...and just for record the brain has the capacity of about 100TBytes, not "zillions and zillions of gigabytes"

Sadly, regardless of what we would like to think (to comfort the mind and put us at ease), when you die there is no more. Nothing exists after death...it is almost as if you have fallen asleep.

With that being said, you probably perceive something interesting due to the lack of oxygen to your brain and neurons firing sporadically...but these are artifacts of perception and not reality.
