Philosophy.

[CoderGuy]

Not trying to thread crap, or divert the thread from your wishes, but I don't think it's valuable considering what happens after death. What happens after death is unprovable. nobody comes back to tell us what it's about. It'll either be interesting, or nothing, and the only value in speculating is from a purely fanciful perspective; like watching a movie, or reading a book.

+1 I couldn't have stated this any better.

Every action has a reaction, which is karma, so everything we do, did, and even think, has a reaction that guides us a certain way, and when the body "dies", our level of consciousness and karmic bank creates the next manifestion of us to continue on where we left off.

Good point. Thats something similar to what i believe.

Lets speculate. What do you think that something is?? Is there life after death?????

Dunno, but if there's no Grov there I don't want to go.

Maybe it's our definition of life that kinda gets us stuck on these things. It most certainly won't be Earthen life. Actually, I would believe in reincarnation faster than the notion of heaven or hell. What if there were an alternative though?

People are increasingly becoming reliant on technology. That's fact. There are already a growing number of people that care more about their online life than their real, physical one. Seriously, they spend much more time there than in reality. People have even killed themselves physically over it. I think that it's only a matter of time before there's integration into the "matrix" for lack of a better term. Would you consider entering an electrical grid to continue on virtually, without the human body? Currently this is not possible but I think that it might be in the future.

I believe in the Ling King Theory. No higher power, when you die, you become a star in the sky. Hakuna Matata........

Philosophy is the talk on a cereal box
Religion is the smile on a dog...the lyrics threads brought that one on

Ye....no I don't think it's a problem. It's as if you would like me to give up and say, "Oh well. Screw this whole science thing. We'll never figure it out anyway. Let's just say god did it and go get some taco's!"
I think it will all make perfect sense. It's just that right now we don't even know which questions to ask. No offense, but I think explaining all of reality away just by saying that god wanted to show off and make some people for no other reason than to worship him...that's a problem my friend.

If God created me for the sole purpose of worshipping him, than he really stepped on his own dick by giving me this whole free will thing.

This is one of the best quotes I have seen! LOL I am going to quote you in my signature.

Basically, I'm a materialist (everything is composed of mere matter) and atheist who rejects nihilism; we ought to act morally, and should let our conscious mind and rationality guide our moral actions.

That's my basic philosophical position, albeit it's condensed greatly.
