So what happens when we all die?

[Taverner]

Can we collect on our soul?

[Chan790]

1. We rot. n/m

[Kutjara]

22. Unless we have ourselves stuffed.

Then our nuisance value to others can survive our demise almost indefinitely.

[KitchenWitch]

2. We get sent to GD:P for an eternity

[Reverend_Smitty]

3. yeah but what if we led a good life?

:shrug:

[KitchenWitch]

4. Doesn't matter.

:P

[Reverend_Smitty]

10. That's pretty bleak isn't it?

:P

[KitchenWitch]

12. I know everyone else is giddy tonight but I am really cynical for some reason

I will come around.

:hi:

[Critters2]

15. I don't do giddy. I've been watching giddiness for a year now,

and it made people careless and selfish and short-sighted. So, I'm off the stuff. No more giddiness for me.

[KitchenWitch]

17. I hear you.

I don't do giddy and I don't do perky.

[Critters2]

8. That's only for bad people. nt

[KitchenWitch]

14. I feel like I am bad.

:shrug:

[Critters2]

16. Bad enough to deserve GDP? I don't bloody well think so! nt

[arcadian]

5. Nothing

That's why humans are so fucked up, they can't come to grips with the fact that this grand pageant is ultimately pointless.

[Critters2]

11. Thanks for that cheery note! nt

[Lorien]

26. Well, it's not pointless while we're alive, but I agree that nothing happens

after death. Nonexistance doesn't bother me though. I didn't mind not existing before I was born, I won't mind not existing when I'm dead.

[arcadian]

33. Pretty much the way I look at it.

and why get all worked up over something you can't change.

[Taverner]

45. Exactly.

But just because of the meaninglessness of it all doesn't mean we can't thrive...

Evolutionarily, thriving is the only order of the day.

[Oeditpus Rex]

6. We go to Level 5

[Pierre.Suave]

7. Screw that

I am going to 11...


:rofl:

[Critters2]

9. Xs!!! nt

[Critters2]

13. You'd think I'd spend a lot of time talking and/or thinking about this.

I don't. No way to know. So, I don't pretend to. That, and I am deeply in denial. About this and a lot of other things.

[Lethe]

18. i don't know what happens to you...

but i turn into a tree when i die. (a giant bald cypress on the banks of a spring-fed river)

[FloridaJudy]

19. I haven't a clue

Reincarnation seems to work for the Dalai Lama, but I'm not so sure the rest of us will ever get a replay. If we do, I have dibs on coming back as a French poodle.

But then I probably didn't believe in reincarnation in any of my previous lives either. Woof.

[MissMillie]

36. excellent

that's exactly what I was thinking... (but I don't want to come back as a french poodle... I don't thing)

[FloridaJudy]

38. I think it would be a great life

Eat, sleep, chase frisbees and get pedicures. They're also reputed to be very smart dogs, and I've never met a poodle that didn't have a great sense of humor - they have to have one to put up with those silly pompoms. Most Buddhists consider a four-footed incarnation a come-down, but I think it could be a lot of fun.

Beats how most people have to live on this planet.

[pokerfan]

20. The long dirt nap

You will cease to exist but you will have no knowledge of your nonexistence, just like before you were even conceived.

Thus that which is the most awful of evils, death, is nothing to us, since when we exist there is no death, and when there is death we do not exist. ~Epicurus

[libodem]

21. We go to a lake of fire

and fry.

[Robeson]

23. Lights out.

[mopinko]

24. do you remember that plane that crashed in the everglades several years ago?

i was immediately jealous of those people. a quick end, and immediately eaten by gators, and becoming part of the everglades by the end of the week.
that is as good as it gets.
sorry.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

25. what is all this "we" business?

I plan to make like Elijah :D

[elshiva]

27. BOOM BOOM OUT GO THE LIGHTS

Decompose.

[Fox Mulder]

28. I want to believe that something will happen to us...

other than rotting in the ground.

IE some sort of afterlife.

[InkAddict]

30. You could become a coral reef or a diamond.

http://www.eternalreefs.com/about/about.html

"Until the funeral director put his remains in my hands, I had forgotten about this casual conversation we had over dinner," says Don Brawley. Don quickly set to work mixing the remains into the reef ball concrete to add to a placement they had planned in Sarasota, Florida. On May 1, 1998 a reef of ten Nautilus & twenty Aquarius Memorial reefs were cast. The reefs were soon placed to create a beautiful natural memorial setting. Carleton got his wish, and his reef is now teaming with sea life. Eternal Reefs was born.

http://www.lifegem.com/

The LifeGem® is a certified, high-quality diamond created from the
carbon of your loved one as a memorial to their unique life, or as a symbol of your personal and precious bond with another.

LifeGem diamonds are molecularly identical to natural diamonds found at any high-end jeweler. To qualify as diamonds, they must have the exact same brilliance, fire, and hardness (the hardest substance known) as diamonds from the earth, and of course, they do!

[Callalily]

31. I've already planned to become

a part of an eternal reef. This is a fantastic idea!

[krispos42]

29. If you've been a good boy...

you get cold beer and hot women.



If you've been a bad boy...
You get hot beer and cold women!

:-)

[YankeyMCC]

32. When all of us die?

not much in that case...lawns will stop getting mowed and watered. :shrug:

[applegrove]

34. The atoms that make up us are spread all over the world and become

part of other people, other plants, other animals and the wind.

[spinbaby]

35. I wanna be shot into space

That way I can become part of a space alien.

[applegrove]

40. That sounds like a plan LOL!

[pokerfan]

51. In the long run...

even the universe will cease to exist.

[BarenakedLady]

37. Mine is only worth a dollar three-eighty

[ashling]

39. We fold up the board, put it in the box with all the

pieces, and go home

[The Inquisitive]

41. Father Guido Sarducci knows!

Here are all the answers.

[Orsino]

42. The polar bears and spotted owls throw a helluva party. n/t

[HillLuvr]

43. dunno

[sarge43]

44. Our relatives fight over our stuff. n/t

[Blue-Jay]

46. It's gonna be a short fight when I die.

:(

[sarge43]

50. Me too, but it's really not the stuff. It's the fight itself. n/t

[Help_I_Live_In_Idaho]

47. You don't have to worry about anything - Cat,, your dead

:hippie:

[JTG of the PRB]

48. We move on from one form of consciousness to another.

What that other form of consciousness becomes nobody can truly know - it could be a higher plane of enlightenment, some form of reincarnation, or we could all just become ghosts.

I'm in no hurry to find out, of course...

[flvegan]

49. Worms eat us. Welcome to the proper place

at the bottom of the food chain.

[DuaneBidoux]

52. If the universe is infinite...e.g., infinite time and infinite space then

you will exist again somewhere in time and in some place (and even eventually in a world EXACTLY like this one where you do exactly the same thing again.

Infinity is a nearly impossible (maybe indeed impossible) concept to put your humble brain around but infinity essentially leads to the absolutely inescapable conclusion that there will be an infinity of everything. Thus although your consciousness will most likely cease to exist (it is truly amazing how few believe in life after death the further up the educational ladder one goes)it is also assured, assuming an infinite universe, that you will exist again somewhere and be conscious.

Scientists have been desiring to turn the universe into an infinite place because it allows them to extinguish the mythological patriarchal gods (although I don't think they publicly acknowledge or perhaps not even consciously realize this (it is total bullshit to pretend that science has not infringed upon and been swallowing alive the mythological world-space for some time--and will undoubtedly continue to do so)). Infinity of the universe extinguishes the need for a creator while still giving hope for something much better some other time/place.

[LucyParsons]

53. The monkeys will have run of the place.

When we all die.

[old mark]

54. We will all

be dead.
