    The human brain cannot comprehend what death is like, the non-existent you... do you believe in the afterlife? In my opinion it's hard to believe there isn't an afterlife...

    Thats because it's dead after death happens.

    Death is the opposite of life I would imagine.

    God only knows!

    What's the reason for being reasonable?

    Is that an unreasonable question?

    Was just going to post this. Think back to what it was like before you were born. That's exactly what death is like.

    Like those nights when you sleep but don't dream except you don't wake up in the morning. Then nothing happens in your brain and it keeps on not happening forever.

    There's a reason the brain can not comprehend it - We have never experienced it.

    Our brain has always been alive. People say you'll remain in darkness. But how can you be in darkness when your brain is dead? You'll have no perception, so will be unaware of darkness. You'll be unaware of anything - even awareness itself.

    So it is impossible to even think what it could be like.

    Also there is the religious belief of the soul leaving the body. A bright light as you're approaching death, opening up to an afterlife.

    Who knows? I don't, and neither do you.

    Yep, and it looks like a good afterlife.
    All ghosts so far appear to be white.

    Because even thinking about it or trying to is defeating the point and failing at the task at the same time.

    I think the only way you'll find out is when it happens you, its wierd to thing you wont have conscious thought anymore, even in sleep you're dreaming and you feel alive in that sense, but once thats gone and theres nothing? no wonder pople get scared by the thought of it.

    Then you have the questions like what makes your conscience yours? its just electrical impulses in your brain and inner thought, what happens once your body shuts down?

    And even then you won't know as there is nothing there to process the thought, feeling or reason as that process has ceased to exist too. I'm glad that we don't have to experience it as that would be the scariest thing ever in my mind. I'm glad it's a physical impossibility.

    I came close to it years ago when I flipped my car. At my age everyone thought it would take a lot out of me but I am a man of God. I do believe he was looking over me that day.

    That was the summer of 2008, a fine summer when life was as it should be. Free.

    Just asking, you do have a militant view of Unionism up the north anyway, doesn't do you any favours on these boards...you just consistently come across as a c*nt, and I'd say loads will thank me for it

    I was, and I still am in a way. It all started when I was a little boy. Reverend Gooding told my momma I was special.

    Momma passed away in the heat wave of '79. From then on I embraced God, donned a white suit and preached.

    I only retired from being God after my ability to make Jim Carey a serious actor failed.

    I have since been roaming the lost highways, with a hope that one day I will be the God amongst men that I once was.
