I wished I was religious so I could believe in an afterlife. But logically I just can't do it, I just can't believe in stuff without evidence. I wish I could believe that there will be a nice afterlife, but it's like I can't and I sort of feel that this is it. It makes me really sad because it just makes life feel so meaningless if when I die it will just be nothing for eternity.
I wish there was some way I could truly believe...That when I die, things will be all right. I sort of hope that when I die, I will end up somewhere that feels right. This can't be all there is...
>the existence of the immaterial is made evident by the conscious process experiencing itself It doesn't mean anything, it can very well be just a physical process, an emergency of brain activity. Its also possible that theres a lot of shit "outside" the universe that we don't know, but even if it exists it doesn't necessarily mean that our lives are meaningful. Life can be just as important as a rock or something for those metaphysical processes. Even if its somehow meaningful in some way, it also doesn't necessarily mean we get to experience some sort of continuity after death, without that it can be as meaningful as it can be, there would still be no value to us. Bottom line is, we don't know shit and everything is equally likely.

You don't need to be religious to believe that there may be or may be not afterlife, see

Nihilism is for brainlets, read nigga read I never mentioned meaning >can very well be a physical process No, it very obviously can't, not in the conventional sense Describe the physicality of qualia
Gabriel Gomez
>No, it very obviously can't, not in the conventional sense Please elaborate. We barely understand how the brain works, bold of you to assume it can't generate consciousness all by it self.

Thats the only reason I havent killed myself yet and have some faith in God whatever that means. My life is an unsalvageable shithole of pure misery. if I killed myself and just woke up in my life again except now I have to spend eternity there. Fuck man just thinking about it makes me mentally weak
Luke Brown
The perception of material reality around me is enough to empirically conclude that physical objects "exist" insofar as I trust my perception to reflect truth at least partially, so the logical conclusion is to extend this to my conscious experience: I experience material reality around me and deduce that I am surrounded by a material realm, but this act of experiencing possesses a substance as well, one that is distinct in nature from the physicality it observes, as I can derive physical laws from observation, but those laws themselves are not physical and belong to a realm separate from what they describe
Ethan Rodriguez
So what you are saying just because the brain can think in abstract ways, that necessarily means this phenomenon can't be generated by physical processes? Sounds like bullshit to me.
Nathaniel Kelly
No Not my fault if you can't understand basic English, brainlet

An afterlife just doesn't even make sense in so many ways.
What's more realistic;
A) Your consciousness gets TELEPORTED to a far off place that might not even be in this terrestrial realm. Oh btw, it's also a paradise.
B) Your consciousness ceases to exist, just like how it was before you were born.
inb4 people with near death experiences seeing angels and shit... their brains were just being pumped full of DMT naturally.
