Bigthink Wed, 06 Feb 2008 02:23:16 +0100 http://www.bigthink.com/life-death/5613/#7903 http://www.bigthink.com/life-death/5613 I beleive that waiting for people after death is absolutly nothing. From what I've read to what I've contemplated, it makes no sense to me that there would be any magical world (like heaven/hell) or another demension filled with spirits of the dead. Convincing me of the idea of a heaven is like trying to convince me that what magicians like Criss Angel do is real. The that leader of society created and adopted the religious idea of an afterlife is to give citizens of their nations an otherworldly consequence for poor behavior. Now let me preface this final comment by saying, I'm no Hippie. I live my life in the here and now, I am not living my life waiting for and expecting somthing else, and I encourage all others to do the same. Don't wait for somthing better make now better.

The energy inside you is not a soul or spirit or some sort of romanticized entity. The energy inside you is the food that is converted into energy used to power your brain and the rest of your body. Depending on what is done with your body after the energy contained in your body is converted into different things. For example if you are buried the energy is transferred to the ground as you decompose or to whatever animal consumes your body.

I certainly don't know what comes after. I've read a fair few ideas. I kind of like what C.S. Lewis put together in his book "The Great Divorce" It's point is that who and what we are here in essence, activity and thought tends to go with us just in a different form. Now it strikes me that if that is the case the "Now" of my actions is even more important. A great case for a life well lived.

I myslef am a christian and can honestly say i haven't felt as though i've wasted any time on this earth trying to comfort myself from the thought of death. Before building a case against an afterlife based on sence of purpose or lack there of, you should know that the entire reason for an independant spiritual relationship with god is to find your purpose, to fill your life with positives. Obviously we've all figured out that death is inevitable, and i would rather live a life of passion and faith than one of drab logic and empty deeds the world would have me live.

So based on that theory, how can you say that nothing happens after death? I believe there is much more to it than that. I'm not saying we go to heaven or hell, but that something must happen to the "energy" that existed in our body, mind and spirit. Did you ever consider that?
