Lets say god dosn't exist...

[maxninja234]

if he dosn't, what do you think will happen when we die. If you say complete darkness, how would our brain process the nothingness. Explain to me plz.

[SaltshakerClock]

Our brain wouldn't process the nothingness, because your brain would cease function and decay.

It would be like before you were born. Don't remember? Exactly.

[Spirit]

what the fuck

your brain wouldn't process it because it doesn't work...

its just like it was before you were born.

[STEM]

Remember before you were born? I'm sure you don't, since your did not have a brain to process anything. Same happens when you die. There is no 'darkness,' as that implies one would still retain a modicum of consciousness despite not having a brain.

And what was it like before I was born then. It was probably blackness. I won't be alive again to acknowledge the fact that it was something. If I'm never alive again, then what happens in that time I can't remember?

That's what he just said.

imagine being asleep before a dream theres nothing there and you cant remember it because YOU HAVE NO BRAIN TO PROCESS ANYTHING

[Teddyriffic]

It's simply nothingness, like when you are sleeping or as the best example which was stated before : It's like before you were born

But I wake up in the morning and acknowledge that. I don't wake from death. There has to be a diffrence from dreams and death. I can't see the nothing when I die. How is nothing possible. There needs to be something. Visions? Another life? Maybe not an actual life persay, but a vision of another life that dosn't exist?

It is admirable that you choose to pursue the philosophy of life after death, in the manner of what an eternity after your death would entail.

But please be wary, the way you phrase "it was probably blackness" would not help you in any form of debate, no matter the subject. "Probably" implies you haven't explored the subject enough to make statements backed up by facts. This can be very dangerous to you own ability to rationalize information that is given to you from the outside world.

I don't mean to be rude about it or anything, it just stuck out to me and thought I'd give some advice on the subject. I've come across a number of people much older than I who throw around "it's probably this, I think it's that" phrases, and then try to impose that belief onto others. It just makes them look like immense, misguided dicks.

[MrPercie]

brain would be dead so we wouldnt process shit

there wouldnt even be darkness for darkness exists but we are dead and while our body may still exist on earth, our conscience no longer is existing

[Zippy-MyMusic]

I believe in Reincarnation. So I just come back in a new life.

Ok...one last thing. If there is nothing, such as in dreams, we can't acknowledge it. Thats what people say. I think we can. It would be impossible to see nothing and not remember it. As long as were in a dream we can at least wake up and say, "Hey nothing happened,". People say we can't do that at death. I think we can. I want everyone to keep an open mind.

Maybe we could be dead right now. There is no possible wway we could tell. After this life has passed it is as if we were born again. We'll have no memory or way to prove it again though. I don't want to make people mad by bashing religeon in any way. I just want everyone to know about this.

[beardkiller]

Personaly i just wanna see what happens and if possible inform the still living

[k6ka]

You'll be nothing. Hard to explain.

[patrick274]

the way i see it, region is to help people put them at ease with the idea with of death. everyone is scared of it but in today's day and age the people are more about science and will all be like "o yea your brain decays, so its like what you were before you were born" but if you want to believe that there is a place that you'll go to after you die, then believe that and it shouldn't matter what other people think. keep that to yourself otherwise you'll make some enemies.

I would imagine that it would be like the time before we were born. We obviously have no memories of such a time nor are we personally aware of what happened before then. Such would probably be the case after we die.

My god an intelligent post that ive read in full thanks for the dose of smartness NG will grow from it...possibly...not very possibly but the chance is fathomable if people read it

[Emma]

The existence of God alone does not change our experiences after this life. So to say "Let's say God doesn't exist" makes little sense.

But, I cannot answer the question because, to me, it would be like asking "what would it be like if 2+2=5?".

[Freddythealien]

Who cares?
Reincarnation I dunno.
Makes more sense that the whole...
"LOL YOUR IN A CLUB FULL OF EVERYONE THAT HAS DIED LOL"
So.... Yeah, Doesnt make much sense does it?

[ImlunchBoxx]

death is just the absence of life

[SpaceWhale]

i imagine it'd be like in Pictures for Sad Children, where everybody just wakes up and hangs out in their graves for all eternity.

The brain wouldn't process nothingness, because when you die, all processes cease completely. It's like smashing your computer into little bits. You can't fix it, and it will never run again. That is all death is.

So, why fear death if when you're dead, you won't be able to care one way or another? It's very difficult to fathom or accept something you've never experienced before, which is why we fear death.

In truth, however, death is very peaceful. Death is the ultimate escape. Where all troubles, worries, and emotions cease. Death is peaceful, life is chaotic. Not that I want to die anytime soon, but I understand that my fear of death is irrational and inconsequential.

It wouldn't, hence the term "nothingness".

[BlueMieux]

I often times wonder how my computer processes not having power. Like... how does it even know how to deal with that situation??

so eventually life returns and then becomes absence soon after. repeats over and over. kind of like the circle of life that runs non-stop

before you were Conceved you did not have the parts of the brain needed to process the images that were coming from your eyes

when you get NO DATA you see black

lacking the parts of the brain to comprehend it though

[BasedBubbus]

so just because you can't fathom that there might not be anything when you die you chuck it off to god?

sounds normal.
