Where do we go when we die and are you afraid?
RE: Where do we go when we die and are you afraid?
when our brains die, everything that makes us human goes with them. we are our bodies. even our personalities and our emotions and our intellect. it all comes from the brain. the brain relies on blood and electric impulses among other things to function, and when we die all of this gets cut off and the brain cannot be active. some people believe that our true selves are embodied in a soul. but the problem with this is, if we have souls, then what is the point of our physical bodies? we might as well just all be spirit beings if that's all we need to exist. but we are not. we completely rely on physical bodies to survive. and most people don't believe that other animals, like rats or snakes, have souls. but we are the same thing. we are animals that are biologically related to all other animals. so why do we get to have the privilege of having a soul? i think the answer is that we are the only species intelligent enough to invent the idea of a soul.
