Death

AI Thread Summary

The discussion centers on the nature of existence after death, questioning whether consciousness ceases or continues in some form. It critiques the concept of a punitive God in Catholicism, arguing that many good people outside the faith shouldn't be condemned to hell. Participants express skepticism about near-death experiences and propose that beliefs shape one's afterlife experience, suggesting that we may create our own realities based on our convictions. The idea that life may be inherently meaningless is explored, with some asserting that humans exist to understand the universe. Ultimately, the conversation reflects a deep uncertainty about existence, morality, and the afterlife.

if there were nothing after death..what would be the point of having an oobe? or an nde?...it would be a pointless venture for the mind/soul to be able to leave the body if it just disintegrated into nothing at the point of death. I cite the flatlanders dimension theory...if your only perception is of horizontal existence then you will have no knowledge of a vertical dimension and will postulate that it cannot exist even though there are other beings in the vertical dimension that probably think the same thing about your horizontal one...I think that death is just th moving to a new state of being in a different dimension...possibly overlaid on our own...hence interactive ghosty experiences...just because you can't see it..doesn't mean it's not there!
