What happens after death?

For some reason, this helped me a lot. Thank you.

You're welcome I hoped it would... because that seemed to be the sticking point for you; imagining oblivion to be a actual place to be/experience, which it couldn't be without being an afterlife.

One theory- which is incredibly fascinating and requires other threads and possibly another forum, is that of this world being a simulation. It's mathematically more likely we are in one, and sometimes that makes me feel better. That maybe this isn't even real.. Maybe I'm just crazy.. Lol

I hope that being dead is like being asleep. It's a lot more peaceful to think about rather than heaven and hell.

(now I know why babies cry when they get woken up after that long of a nap....)

I don't really think about things like that... so if we're all plugged into the Matrix or simply exist in order to power the battery of Rick and Morty's car, doesn't really matter; I'm just reductionist about it: we experience until we cease to experience. That's it. Theists would have it that we never cease to experience, but they offer no elucidation... other than a vague and problematic notion of a disembodied soul... as to how that could be the case sans a body and brain. So far more plausible is we experience until we die. And then we cease to experience. Simple as that.
