Of course there's something after life... it's called 'Death'.

Louis_Cypher's picture

This was in response to a 'discussion' on another page....

Oh, for fucks sake...we ABSOLUTELY know what 'happens' when we die. We KNOW the composition and physical attributes of the brain. We KNOW there is NO 'energy' or force, down to the quantum level that in ANY way keeps the information stored in the biochemical pathways that constitute our thought, memory and personality whole. Our consciousness is not a 'thing', it's a process that ENDS, shuts off when it's physical matrix, the 1300 grams of goo that we call the brain dies. What's it like? Exactly like that point in time before the sperm and egg that joined to make you ever hooked up.

I get tired of nit wits of the theistically challenged variety piously intoning that we 'just don't know' what happens when we die, when we damned well DO.

 

Christianity: A disgusting middle eastern blood cult, based in human sacrifice, with sacraments of cannibalism and vampirism, whose highest icon is of a near naked man hanging in torment from a device of torture.

 Yep, really no different

 Yep, really no different than if your car engine blows up beyond repair, the car is no more, it cant run. Or you can look at it like taking a sledge hammer to your laptop or computer tower. Damage it beyond repair , it cannot function. All we are is our brains in motion. Once your brain dies, that is it, we die. There is no more an afterlife than there is a pre life. Making up all these different bullshit clubs called religion, painting them with gods or spirits or claims of mulitiple lifes is crap. 

"Its complecated" some here claim, which was never my argument in regards to religion. If some here want to coddle the insecurities of humanity beyond the human right to make the claim, we do live in a free society. But I refuse. Buddhist or Hindu or Christian or Scientology and even new age garbage pantheism. WE DO NOT continue on. 

We may be able to create artifical simulations of our personalities, much like we record videos or e books, but even then, that will not be us after we die, even then we still die. There is no such thing as "forever". 

I agree and I get tired of some people getting angry at others for telling a simple truth because others got caught up in needlessly complecated bullshit.

We die asshole, so if you want to deny that, then Luis is wrong too. 

No asshole. I know my species history, and my species falsely attributes discovery as meaning the group they ascribe to as being the patent holder of that discovery. You'd fucking know that if you had watched the entire Cosmos Series. 

Muslims "We invented Algebra, so therefore Allah is real"

Christians "Aquinas was smart, so therefore Jesus is real"

Buddhists, "We can endure lots of physical stuff" forgetting that Navey Seals are trained to do the same things.

 

The ancient Chinese, ancient aboriginies, ancient South Americans, independently without any connection, all made gap answers as to the patterns in the sky with the nightime stars. They also created their own myths about comits. 

 

The fact that humans stumble on useful things does not make their personal beliefs or religious clubs a fucking requirement. I am sorry you are too fucking stupid to understand that. The patterns we get right and build on are not because of the superstitions we invent. The patterns we get right are because of our evolution.

Grow up. Assholes like you allow humans to cling to old claims.

Brian doesn't understand this has nothing to do with Louis. Brian's too stupid to understand the truth. He can't handle the fact that I'm doing to him almost exactly the same thing he's done to me and everyone else here for years. The only difference is that Brian uses ignorance and make believe like a theist, while I use logic and fact like anyone claiming to be rational should. It eats away at him.

The absolute gold standard in irony is when he cries about it and says I'm picking him apart just because I don't like him, yet he thinks it is perfectly acceptable when he does it. lmfao. Keep crying Brian, I'm not going anywhere.

I think it is acceptable that you pick on me. I simply know you are fucking full of shit. Your dick has not fallen off because we cuss each other out.

It is an assumption to say "extraordinary forces at work". It might be completely natural and as I believe, unrelated to needing a god or creator. It could be that "life after death" is 100% normal in the process.

I'm willing to give Louis the benefit of the doubt and assume he knows enough about science to know that no absolute claim can ever be accurately made in such a discussion. He is still quite correct to hold the assumption there is nothing after death, and quite correct to point out that every single test we have ever come up with from physics to biology to chemistry and everything else points to that conclusion. Doubting the results is akin to doubting evolution. It is possible that we are wrong, but it is so very unlikely that there is absolutely no justification to think we are wrong.
Any other position is literally identical to theism. It immediately and irrevocably assumes qualities to the universe that do not appear in any observation or test, that would be extremely extraordinary by definition.

Agreed.

You will understand me best iwbiek because of your studies of Buddhism and eastern philosophy.

First I will say I don't believe in 'life after death' and when I use the term it is only for convenience. Life signifies the living in the physical world with interpretations of those experiences. When my body ceases to function it will cease to be alive.

There is no self. I do not exist. Yet I experience the physical world and my ego to use emotions to form attachments to sex, food and other material possessions. These attachments are a distract from the truth.

I rejected the idea that any view based from an emotional reaction to a physical experiences is truthful. Only when a person is completely calm and detached from a experience can they truly see the situation.

I do not support the idea of a god or creator because history shows that mankind has made up gods and religions to explain the unknown. Science would show that some humans are more predisposed to believe in gods. There is plenty of factual evidence to question and dismiss gods.

I do support the notion that when my body ceases that I will experience a transition. I will be reborn again and again until I reach a state of non-attachment to all things physical.

---

You might have some good points about my experiences being misleading to me. It was overwhelming to experience. The odds of it being coincidental is beyond calculations. For me to explain it would be very difficult because it is personal. However you can't take it away from me just because you think you are right. You can only assume.

There is very credible research in the field of rebirth. People who are attempting to find testable evidence of it.

People who research string theory are thought of being quacks but others in their area of expertise. Yet, the evidence must be tested and worked with, examined, tested, examined again, tested.

You know as well as any one else that research can take decades. I find it too early in the field to say nay or yea to it. I can only use my life to define my belief.

I also don't compare this to believing in a creator. I find that believing in a creator silly because there are so many of them. History shows that gods were created to fill a void. They show their rise and fall through the centuries. People want to say "my god is the right one" but 500 years from now what will their god be? morphed? dead?

Those who believe in a specific creator and lay claim to know their creator as the most powerful, blah blah blah, are unfounded in their beliefs. Their religions all came about in a period when ignorance ruled. Their stories have foundations in assumptions and lies used to gain power over the public. They don't observe and question their environment. They see lightning and say their god created it.

I look at the world, Universe, etc and see limits. I know there is an edge to the Universe in some form. If there is a limit or edge to this Universe then there must be something beyond. Multiuniverses or what ever string theory is popular today, asks many questions that I ask myself. What is beyond? What was the beginning? what is the end?

I remove myself from the situation, including atheism, to see what could be possible that science has yet to ask or research. At one time mankind would have thought that flight was inpossible, going to the moon was impossible. I believe that one day mankind will figure it out, after the petty wars have ended and materialism is no longer needed.

Those who believe in an afterlife or reincarnation are just as off kilter as anyone who believes in a god. The belief of such originally, just like theism, came about in a period when ignorance ruled.

In fact there is no 'edge' to the universe. This has been explicitly proven thanks in part to Einstein.

At no time in history was flight thought to be impossible. There are records of attempts to fly going back as far as history can take us. The mere fact that there are species that can fly has always been absolute proof that it is possible to fly.

If reincarnation were true, then everyone would have memoryies of past lives. The article you link to is completely heresay.

Reincarnation existed before organized religion. It was a natural process for humans because every thing they saw was being recycled. You'd bury a body, it would decompose and they a tree would grow.

No begging the question, actual facts provided by the Harvard link. If you have a single point which expands within space then there is an edge to the expansion.

No not every one would.

Yes it did happen. I have video tape of the morning after when I spoke to my room mate about it. I was in China when she died. I had the dream twice then on the second day my girlfriend at the time told me that she had died. Then the dreams stopped.

Bullshit. It wasn't until the 19th century when people even had the means to see the worlds recycling system, and it really wasn't until the last couple decades that we could truly witness it in action.

"You'd bury a body, it would decompose and they a tree would grow."

Ridiculous. That's not even what happens, and even I did accept your exceptionally crude and misleading description, it happens on a timescale so large that noone would even have noticed a correlation.

"No begging the question, actual facts provided by the Harvard link."

I don't care if Hawking himself said it, you CANNOT assume ANYTHING before the Big Bang without begging the question. Period. Lrn2logic.

"No not every one would."

Yes, everyone would.

"Yes it did happen."

No, it didn't.

"I have video tape of the morning after when I spoke to my room mate about it. I was in China when she died. I had the dream twice then on the second day my girlfriend at the time told me that she had died. Then the dreams stopped."

Irrelevant. Have enough dreams and some of them will come true. That's a statistical fact. Not proof of magical bullshit. You're assuming cause and effect with absolutely no evidence to support it.

"I think you are the looney one. "

Loony ones always think the sane people are loony, so I don't care what you think. I know with certainty that you are as nutty as a jar of peanut butter.

"You argue with people like Brian over shit threads. "

Mischaracterisation. 99% of the time I'm not even talking to him. And I have damn good reason for what I'm doing. Not to mention this conversation has nothing to do with Brian and you're just stacking up more fallacies by even mentioning him.

"You must have a lot of free time on your hands and you like filling it with constant comments about ridiculous subject matter which is pointless."

Like you're doing here? lol hypocrite.

"You defintely have issues dude. You are the one needing a shrink."

Repeat this while looking in the mirror until it sinks in to your thick skull.
