What do you think happens when we die?

Blackness? Reunited with the ones we loved? Endless piano music or eternal flames? Are some of us doomed to play out eternal ghost story roles?

Talk to me stranger.

Like those old TVs, when the off button is pushed everything will reduce to a little white dot in the centre of the screen.. and then vanish.

Blip.

Honestly?
Well, I don't talk about this very much, but since you asked...

I think that those people who recognized God and spent their lives trying to know Him and love Him will spent forever with Him. I don't really see people walking on clouds and strumming harps. What I read in the Bible tells me that I'll be spending a lot of time actually worshipping God. I suspect that I'll be there with a lot of loved ones, but I don't know if I'll relate to them in a recognizable way. I know that we'll have bodies that don't wear out, and probably minds that are a hell of a lot clearer. An admittedly peculiar choice of words, but I'll let it stand.

As for those people who weren't really concerned about God, hated Him or claimed He didn't exist, I think those people wouldn't be very happy in "heaven". I don't believe they will be tortured eternally-- I tend to think that either their lives just end, or they maybe they find out what life is really like without God. I don't know if that's a fixed fate-- the Bible hints that there might be some wiggle room after death, but I don't know.

Hopefully Rowan Atkinson got it wrong:

Kermo, your comments reminded me of an ITV mini-series called "The Second Coming" ( http://uk.imdb.com/title/tt0353104/ ). Ever heard of it?

If not, I recommend it very highly. I'm not sure if it's floating around the internet but it was released on DVD in the UK.

All of the organs of your body stop working. This means that the synapses in your brain stop firing off at each other, and everything you knew, felt, thought, and believed was going to happen at this point cease to exit. Decay starts to set in, and unless you go through an elaborate mumification process, you get eaten.

If you're lucky, something might happen to fossilize your bones just in case another species randomly evolves intelligence (because homo sapience is not eternal) digs you up and puts you on display somewhere. of course, these are just impressions of your bones, the real things vanished long ago. So that which was you is gone. I suppose there is comfort in the idea that you've left an impression.

Ha! I'm funny.

But even then, those fossils will be destroyed somehow: Fire, earthquake, lack of funding, future species society collapses, the sun expands vaporizing the earth, the universe loses all energy and atoms stop binding together.

So really, everything comes to an end. It's an unpleasant thought for creatures so used to being well aware of what it means to be alive. That's why we believe in invisible men in the sky: A mental placebo.

You get buried or cremated, preferably cremated. No afterlife though.

God says, like Santa, 'ok, you've been good, I'll let you give it another shot...so what do ya wanna do this time?'.
'Ride a unicycle through France, stopping along the pretty coastal places to drink wine, eat cheese, and admire the scenery...'.
God says, 'ok, you've earned it just by not killing anybody...next'.

Seriously, how the heck should I know? Like you (if one believes in reincarnation) I've died heaps of time but draw a blank on what happened, any of it.
I've heard that the the human is made of many bodies...there's the physical, soul body, emotional body, ....apprently one physical body with variations of 'ethereal bodies', 4.
At death the physical body eats dirt, falls away to be worm food, and the ethereal bodies go different directions.

Like Tiger beer said (astral travel) there's no limit to how far, in time, space, these can go to end up part of a reassembly some place, at some time.

So 'you go to pieces'.
