    I know there is a thread on the Atheists forum when the poll shows unsurprisingly a large number in favour of 'that's it' no after life or consciousness existing after death. It didn't show a I am undecided or similar option Where are you on this?

    Just like there is nothing before you are born, the same is for when you die.

    I don't really like to discuss these things on forums because it brings out the worst in people, and it's just circular arguments with people who are over religious or just boring aul strident types twisting arguments and discussions .

    I don't know what happens only we shut down, although when I do go I'd like it to be painless, peaceful and just basically dream that I'm going to sleep and that's it.

    But discussing these topics with believer's or non believers is the same aul sht...

    Enjoy your life OP live in the moment and forget about death :)

    We lose access to our... personal consciousness, and rejoin the more... general-type consciousness from which we came.

    It's a very individualistic, self-centered type of approach to assume that if there is nothing after you die that everything else evaporates. Life will go on - whatever you did on earth will continue to make a difference at least for a while. Whether positive, negative or neutral is still up for grabs at least for people posting here.

    Lots of stuff happens when you die. It's just that none of it involves you.

    The world isn't that bad, its the safest time in history to be alive and we only get one life might as well enjoy it.

    I actually hope that is the case. Floating around, for ever, on a cloud and being nice to everyone sounds shoite - unless, of course, someone can guarantee that there is sex and pubs in heaven, then I might give it a go.

    Same as before birth. Blackness. Nothing. Life continues for everyone but you. Also your lottery numbers will come up the next week.

    Would you not get tired of all that sex and drink after a while?

    Nobody interested in 'Hell'? Maybe a selling point is that the truly evil would get their just deserts? Might make it more popular but I guess we all have done stuff that could deserve a spell there.

    Potentially, I think our consciousness spills out and is unleashed from the physical body. I don't know if we get any explanation or meaning, probably not. We just continue to exist but in a completely different way. We exist outside of time and space. I have no idea if life or not is good, but I think we just eventually get used to a passive existence watching on as our future ancestors live their lives.
