Life after death?

[Jenny A]

I'm not having any trouble visualizing death, but you seem to be. Death isn't going into a void, it's simply the end of life. Where life or personality goes is a null question because there's nothing left to do the going.

I just told you void doesn't exist, why on Earth would I believe that. Put no words/things in my mouth please, or I'll be tempted to do the same, especially if you got a cool profile pic <3

Puleeese. I didn't say you thought dying was going into a void, only that I didn't. ---- Put something of yours beside words in my mouth and I may bite it off. ----

Philosophical questions about whether a person remains the same person over the course of their life are not relevant to the question of life after death. Unless you believe there is such a thing as a person (however changing) outside of brain function, how changeable or stable that person is is irrelevant to the question of whether a person continues after the brain in which it existed ceases to function. The brain ceases to function and the personality or ever changing personality ceases.

Sister, when you are brain-dead, when there's no cerebral activity...are you dead or alive? Dead or alive? Rhetorical question, you don't need to answer it, so now, if only a part of your brain shuts down, how are you? Dead or alive? Can't you get it that it's not black and white, it's a gray area? A part of you is dead and the other stayed alive! So then of course you can abuse the language and say you're alive but everyone knows that it's the alive part talking...dead one is gone.

Sure it's simple. The complexity you are inserting into this discussion is not really about death so much as what it means to be alive.

If you begin really considering time as dimension, then in a sense we do die and are reborn every nano second. But when the question is asked, is there life after death, what we mean is will I be in the next nano second after all brain function finally ceases, and the answer is no.
