You have to go somewhere, right?

Your body becomes part of the carbon cycle.....

[rockinred]

there are many uncertain things, which is where faith comes into play.... but there are also things that are certain.....to the grave is certain....and to dust is certain.

when you state, "You have to go somewhere", means that you automatically assume that your life continues on which is a belief system that based on organized religions etc...

So you go to nothing, oblivion?

Well, I guess I would be classified as a religious man.... but I am not affiliated with an organization.

I have a faith and a hope in a resurection (meaning raised from the dead/oblivion brought back to life)..... that is how I understand it. That term does not mean reunited to your body like modern churches teach... it literally means raised of from a dead state or brought back to life from a lifeless state. I don't think you go on living... you go to sleep to be awakened/resurected at the appointed time.... that is my hope. that is what I have...

This is where my atheist butt is going and I don't care what all you bible thumpers say...

[xlxBigSexyxlx]

Who knows... curious though


like any dead thing, decompose and the end, part of the cycle like MS said.


Or if the bible is your thing, you will be playing basketball with Jesus.


Or your soul and stay around and haunt people.


Or you can come back as an animal or another person perhaps?


who knows....

I am not religious and since recently having a close family member past away i have thought about this question in great detail.

Its hard but i believe when you die , its just lights out. People say " You live one life so live it to it's fullest" and i believe that. I have never been able to make that leap of faith to believe there is something better out there.

[suprman09]

I think about this a lot and get freaked out.

thats pretty much how i see it as well. its a very difficult thing to wrap your mind around. the thought of just not existing is almost impossible to grasp.

[FallenWyvern]

You should go to church if you want answers to these types of questions.

Seems like a steroid forum would be a bad place to ask, unless of course you really don't want to know the answer or already know the answer. I am guessing that you have some other motive for asking.

[Older lifter]

You rot, just like every other living thing on the planet,,,,, we are not special

[MuscleScience]

You religious?

The more I have learned about the natural world, the more I am starting to see that to much has to happen for life to be anything but supernatural.

So I would say I am religious in my own way. I do not reject religion, we only ever see the bad it has caused which granted is a lot. When I examine my own faith I do not concentrate on the details of my religion. Instead I look at the concepts that my religion or other religions are trying to convey to me. I read the bible on my own and come to my own conclusions. Granted I cant quote scripture like a theologian, but I can comprehend what is written.

The graveyard usually.
Hate to break it to you, but that's where you're going too buddy.

[Flagg]

Humans are so afraid still, so afraid of the dark.

"we have to go somewhere, right?"

WHY do we have to go somewhere. Sorry, but I believe it is just oblivion that awaits us. No different to your IPOD or Gameboy running out of battery power for the final time.

Science is unable to tell us where "thought" comes from. Yes, we can point to a specific region of th brain and say "In that area, cells are responsible for ___________ area of human behavior. However, we cannot tell you how those simple collection of cells are able to produce novel human thought, and how they are able to tackle problems in ways that were never before concieved. That in and of itself is intriguing enough for me. While many of you know I reject all forms of organized religion, I cannot in good conscience deny the fact that we have scientific knowledge about where thought and personality comes from.

It is my own contention, that the human body is simply a mechanism by which a 'person' experiences the physical world. What is behind that body I make no assumptions towards. We view brain damage as something where a person is never the same. It's my personal contention that when a particular region of the brain is damaged, it has merely interupted the connection between that 'person' and their physical existence. I know its an abstract idea, and I have no scientific information with which to back it up, but thats how I feel personally.

Each of the human traits, such as reasoning, knowledge, planning, learning, communication, perception, and the ability to move and manipulate objects... is LIFE.

When we die, life ceases, hence all the traits that go along with general intelligence... or so we think right now.

What about dreams, can you explain how the subconscious experiences and thoughts reflect the waking reality? I think that when we die, we (our souls) travel somewhere into that hidden/alternate/higher realm (heaven or whatnot).

There's so many weird things that are unexplained, which we just have to wait and experience, or find out for ourselves. There would be no mystery in life if we knew where we'd end up after it ended.

Our beliefs allow us to question/doubt such possibilities. It can give us reason for life, and a renewed sense of purpose.

this links really interesting about where we go when we die or about..god if you like. you haveto watch the 5 parts to get it all thoe its worth it

[Gears]

There simply isin't enough information to make a logical decision either way imo.

[jimmyinkedup]

Live your life like there is nothing after it ends...and in a way that if there is you'll be in a position to have an opportunity to enjoy it.

[Voice of Reason]

If your not religious, where do you go when you die?

You have to go somewhere, right?

Your totally right!... Why don't you kill yourself and have someone bring you back to life so we can get a definitive answer to this awesome question...

[Swifto]

why do you have to go anywhere. Can't his be it. Are people that scared that we have to believe there is some life after this.

The unknown is scary for anyone.

We as humans (9 times out of 10) do everything to stay alive, not die. We'll fight for our lives and resort to canibalism. Its in our instinct. Thats what this question always gets me. We are we wired to survive? As is everything on this planet?

When we die, do we go to the same place we were at before we were born?

[MASTER]

Into a hole in the ground? Death without an afterlife really isn't all that glamorous. Im interested when people say they are scared of death. Personally I don't understand that, the only thing in life that is guaranteed is death, why fear the inevitable? Generally this world is a load of crap anyway, everyone fighting, greedy, corrupt people dominating. War, famine, disease, exploitation.

Life consists of working yourself into the ground just to survive (unless you are one of the lucky minority), until you are old and finally have some spare time, but you can't do most of the stuff you want to, that you didn't have time to do while you were younger. The aim of most is simply to acquire more useless crap, to fill the ever increasing void of pointlessness and tedium that develops. The majority of this crap is simply a way to escape the woes of reality, gaming, internet, tv etc take up ever increasing amounts of peoples spare time. The majority of people just plod along, existing, not living. The obsession with material possessions gets me down. I encounter more and more people everyday, whos only source of happiness is other people being jealous of the amount of stuff they own.

Surely human existence hasn't always been as futile and pathetic as it now is.

Wow the cynic in me is out in force today, strange that, considering ive had a pretty good day.

The unknown is scary for people. My problem is when people are so scared of not knowing that they will take answers from almost anyone regardless of how backed up with facts it is.

I'm speaking of religion if it wasen't clear, I think it's a very deranged concept take advantage human weakness and turning it into a social system.

Sorry for straying the topic. I feel it's very interesting to talk about and hear peoples ideas of what it "might" be. But to talk of it as it's actually factual is absolutely ridiculous.
