Hence the time distortion. DMT can make an instant feel like a year.

No life after death
|
That simply supposes that the afterlfie in question is finite...it couldn't possibly be an infinite afterlife, because eventually the effects of the DMT would wear off. Eventually, the person would truly die and their dream would end. Thus, it wouldn't be infinite anymore.

They get to clean the dirty sheets after the male martyrs have had their way with the virgins.... come on, this is Islam, a completely male biased religion. As a respond to the OP.... no problems here. Learn from the past, hope for the future, live for the now.
A finite number of monkeys with a finite number of typewriters and a finite amount of time could eventually reproduce 4chan.

My point was that DMT combined with brain death could give your conciousness the illusion of timelessness in the instance of death.

Personally, I find null brain activity after death extremely comforting. I don't see any logical explanation for life after death.....Dammit I didn't offer anything beneficial to this discussion.

Hmm... how about the secular pursuit for immortality? i.e. transhumanism and all that jazz? Is putting an end to death and experiencing an "afterlife" of virtual reality / foglets a worthwhile pursuit, deluded fantasy, disturbing?
I always thought it would be cool to get put into a VR simulation if I ever became comatose.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post

It can be scary to think about sometimes, but in the end it seems to me very peaceful. How do you all cope with the death of loved ones tho? I was brought up a strict catholic from birth and turned away from it when I was 15. Now I am a full on Atheist and I have been for years but I do find it hard to deal with knowing I wont see my family members who have died again. Also when you are going through bad problems, is there something that helps you to deal with it? I really struggle not having anything to believe in that might make me feel better. I would never be religious again, all my logic tells me it's a load of tosh but what do you do to replace it in hard times?

It's sad knowing that once they die, they are gone, however if you cherish the moments you have, and cherish the memories after they leave, you are doing everything you can to keep them alive. Loved ones are still loved ones whether they are here or not, you can't talk, can't connect, however immortality is a side affect of good memories and stories passed down through generations. Remember what you had, keep it close to you, and the people you care about never die.
"In our youth, we lacked the maturity, the decency to create gods better than ourselves so that we might have something to aspire to. Instead we are left with a host of deities who were violent, narcissistic, vengeful bullies who reflected our own values. Our gods could have been anything we could imagine, and all we were capable of manifesting were gods who shared the worst of our natures."-Me
"Atheism leaves a man to sense, to philosophy, to natural piety, to laws, to reputation; all of which may be guides to an outward moral virtue, even if religion vanished; but religious superstition dismounts all these and erects an absolute monarchy in the minds of men." – Francis Bacon (June 1, 2010 at 6:51 am)SleepingDemon Wrote:(June 1, 2010 at 5:05 am)mem Wrote: How do you all cope with the death of loved ones tho?
