Im glad to hear such things... yet... im still uncertain of existance as a whole.

Sure if we do think back to what we have done, what we have accomplished, death's scythe definitely reaps the memories you retain; and memories you leave in others? Ha. They dissapear with their container's death. You are eventually void. So why try? Why exist? Why attempt to create a name for yourself? Really, life is indeed a voyage into understanding, but if this understanding is to die in the end, what is the purpose of it all? To aid others to live? To create accomplishments for our children? To help bring forth mankind? Absurd!

All life ends, the universe will cease, time will implode onto itself. What is left?
The Void (something you get when you are banned from a channel ).


Scary to think of nonexistance. A simple darkness, eternally eveloping your thoughts, clouding your mind... not a single sound to be heard, thought of, dreamed of... blank... nothing... zlitch...

Just gone with the dust...








Ive thought of that too, like my life is just a joke, that someone is there at the end to go "Ha Ha!" and embellish upon your performance. Ive wanted to test at times, test my mortality, fondle the meter to see if its really real, tick the ticker to see if its really ticking. Just gave me horrible experiences and times where I don't remember.

Hey, maybe we are in a virtual reality simulator for real life! Maybe we are currently testing the game and we are "plugged in" like how those matrix people are. Maybe...

It would be interesting wouldn't it? If we could transmit ourselves into a life simulator that simulated an entire lifetime within a single second, which could make us see, feel, and, hear and be as we were in real life. We could live eternally and so on to infinity, a trillion lives.

Technically we would never die in our existance as we could live infinitely in the life simulators. Whatever.

God's Last Words to his creation, as told by Douglas Adams:
'We Appologize for the Inconvinience' (Think that was it)

just do good in highschool and stick to something in college, u'll be fine.

I've had many discussions to this topic.

Sure you can define everything as atoms and molecules interacting with each other in a sequential manner to bring about everything we see and hear and touch and taste and smell. But that is only what we perceive life to be.

Life in itself is perception. It is conciensness. You can say that things exsist without our knowing of them, but the fact is that that is only an estimated guess, and anyone with no proof of what is truely going on can not say anything with certain. In its most basic sense, life is a process, not a thing. Things are only there to represent the process. I suppose the best way to explain this would be with an example.

If I were to ask you to explain "thinking" what would you say? How could you describe what it really is? You could take a picture of a person thinking, you could describe what happens in the brain during thinking. You could spend hours and hours writing about what thinking is and never be able to fully describe it. It is not that we do not have the cababilities of describing it, rather that it simply cannot be described to its fullest sense, untill we know everything there is to know about it. The only problem with that is that there will always be something to be learned, and we are not the judge of the limits.

Youd think someone could soem this up lol

aw some ppl look for their reason in life b4 their enebitable demise

all you can do tho is live the life u can

live ur life to the fullest and unless u c ur future lol there aint no way ur gonna know how or when u die

fate just deals you the hand u get o well if u dont like it

couple things...

1. I was thinking of that same quote moose. (from ghandi)
2. Heres a quote from a very smart man: "The only thing we have to fear.... is fear itself" - Franklin Delano Roosevelt

Fear me.

Life = Nothing. It's a waste. You're here to fark. That's all. Here to reproduce, and make the gene pool go on (To bad the gene pool is full of farking idiots now)

I think there is no reason to ask what life is. Because no one actually knows, the only thing I know is I want to do something good with my life and actually help other people also. And I want to become successful while living. I think helping other people make you feel good. Even though I was a very bad person I donated $300 dollar this charismas to help other kids who doesn’t have anything close as I do. At first I felt bad about it however, to think about how they were living and how life must be for them I donated it. So pretty much no one can answer what is life but the thing you should know is try to do the most out of it. Try to achieve your goal and try to enjoy it at the same time. And make the world better when you leave it.

All right, time to share my knowlage of "not caring about anything because you cant do anything about it".
-Life is what you are and what is all around you. It is what we perceive as being "alive". It is scientifically defined as having your brain still work to some degree (I think anyways).
-We live because we were given the chance to. If you believe in God, its because he created us (maybe he was bored. doesn't matter). If you dont believe in God, then we are random accidents of nature, quite beautiful really..
-To my knowlage, there is no purpose to our exsistance. If there is a God and he did or didn'e create us makes no differece, there is basically no purpose to life but to stay alive and procreate.
-Why do you care what happenes when you die? If there is a heaven and a hell, be a good person just incase. If there isn't, then why do you care? you're dead. so live up life to its fullest.
-It again doesn't matter if there is life after death. If theres a heaven and a hell, we go there (so be a good person anyways). if we are re-encarnates then theres no worries because we obviously dont remember our previous lives. if there is nothing, then there is nothing. we just end. thats it. i find that conforting.
-be in some magical ignorant state of mind where they act as though death and non-existance was nothing and they were completely content with being gone with the dust? No, not ignorant (or at least not me). i realize i will die. i dont know when, and i cant do anything about it, so i might as well just keep on living. no point in worrying about it if theres nothing you can do. best to just forget it.
-the thing is, death isn't an uncertainty. you WILL die. it doesn't matter what happens after death because we can do nothing about it (except to go to heaven or hell, in which case just be a good person)

these questions are so simple, and the answers even more simple. really. why care so much?

life is like a box of chocolates you never know what you're gonna get.....


unless u read the damn box, unlike most people in this world

Again.. This topic all relates to religion....


But, my standing on this issue simply is that there are no afterlife. If you live your life, then you dont have to look to desperate measures to "live again" in a "different world." My point is that religion is for desperate people trying to live and see some other options they have.




What about atheists? should they be forgiven since Buddha and Jesus said to forgive them? Then why does hell exist in many religions when they all can be forgiven?

I know this sounds stupid... But God talked to me in my head and told me in life we must be ready for hell or heaven by living on earth and wait till you die (which means you are ready for heven or Hell). If you have done too many bad things God kills you and so you go to hell. If you are good and ready, god kills you and you go to hevean...

werid Huh... God talks to me in my head alot... and the devil too

You shouldn't tell people that. (I'm just giving you some valuable advice)

Also, God doesn't "kill" people. What kind of God would just out right and kill you?

Why does there need to be a hell anyways? So the "bad" people will try to be good. No "all powerful, infinitly loving" God would even create a hell, let alone send you there. Religion is just a way of trying to control people.

Example -I'm not sure when, possibly between 1000 AD and 1600 AD, the catholic church was selling certificates to get into heaven. They told people you had to have a certificate inorder to go to heaven, and people believed them.
-The very existance of a hell indicates religion trying to stop the bad people doing what is bad. This was a good idea, but then there are some crazy nuts who believe anything you do will send you to hell.

But like I say, if you are really worried, just be a good person anyways (just incase I'm horribly wrong. If you are a good person anyways, good job lol).

But God has a plan for everyone, so he kills certain people to change life for ohers...My God tells me alot of stuff... Like don't go near that stop sign or bad stufff will happen...

If you want to believe your God talks to you and saves you from being run over thats what you believe.

The thing is though, you are contridicting your own religion (if you are Christian). See, if God has a plan for everyone, and can just kill off people, then there is no free will because in the end it will all come out the same. And because the Christian religion specifically states that God gave humans free will (and according to Christianity we are the only animal with free will) you are contridicting that.

well god told me that the bible was created by people who disbelived most of his teachings. So they made there own bible and made up stuff, Its hard to belive.... But thats what god told me or the devil... Well God talks to me alot..

God wants us to be ready for heaven...

Yeah, so I agree, just be a good person and you will go to heaven.
I wont argue anymore about religion because this isn't the topic for it.

Just wanna point something out (Again)

God knows what is going to happen. You have the choice (Free-Will) to affect anything and everything in your life. God already knows what you're going to do before you know yourself. He does not manipulate you into anything; Thus, Free-Will (Choice)

Correction, the pope was selling indulgences. You only needed it if you commited a sin. He sold it to you "to cleanse your soul". farking meanies... god is just something they use to make money. Religion is, afterall, the biggest money maker in the world.

My outlook on it is your mind goes where you expected it to go before you died, so in reality, whatever you TRULY believe in, you'll probably go there in the afterlife, sort of like a dream for the rest of your life, rather then a null.

Maybe you guys misunderstood the question in the first place.

Then instead of just saying that, why not try to explain the question to help the thread move on?

Because you can go into the forum and create a new topic about the question, my point is, take it out of here, as it shouldn't have been brought up in the first place, also, the first topic is pretty self explanitory, im not saying it's spam, im just saying its off topic, and doesn't belong here.

GG NO RE.

You lose

i have a solution:

commit suicide, then come back and tell us how life is after death

Im Sure no One Knows the True Meaning of Life, Referring to the "is there some purpose to our existance" I Dont Know if Theres Life After Death...And im Also Afraid to Find out Whats After Death : Heaven or Hell?
