Your personal views on the Afterlife
#6
RE: Your personal views on the Afterlife
I often get the impression that atheists don't want there to be an afterlife as much as theists do. Also I dislike the term 'After Life' as if somehow it's a bonus or an added extra. If such a phenomenon is true then it is more accurate to say that life simply continues.

We are also hung up on the premise that the brain creates consciousness when in my view it is equally likely that it hosts and controls it. It is also possible that we never actually loose consciousness and this is itself an illusion simply created by gaps in our memory.

It could well be that when we are 'unconscious' it is simply that the brain is not creating any memories, how could we tell the difference?

How about the notion that we 'die' every time we go to sleep and we simply can't remember it when we wake up in the morning?
