the thing is, no one can say what happens after you die because when you die theres no way to communicate. lets get some takeout and suck each other off

There is no such thing as after you die, the same as there is no such thing as before you were born. I mean, there is for other people sure, but not for you.

That does not mean you can't live forever though, because your perception of time is not bound to the linear passage of time in the Universe. Your first moment lasted forever, but you were a fetus and you forgot it, that is why it feels like you have "always" been. Your final moment may or may not also last for ever, for you, depending on whether or not you are conscious for it. If you are conscious for it, your frame of mind as you enter that eternity determines whether you won or lost at life.

why isn't a militant christian shown? and why is only one, nameless militant muslim shown? I'm pretty drat sure I could come up with ten examples of real people to represent militant islam and militant christianity without much difficulty.

and who is that guy on the top far right? is that carl sagan? he never even identified as an atheist, even though he was one, and he wasn't a "militant" anything. neither was karl marx. that can't be sagan, right? it looks a fair bit different from any pictures I've ever seen but then I've never seen any pictures of him old and all white people look the same.

That would be Albanian dictator Enver Hoxha. Also Marx explicitly rejected religion and considered it retrograde so idk what you're on about

what I'm on about is the fact that Marx was an author and an economist. he wasn't a militant anything. also ty for answering my question. well, one of them, at least.

Apart from a super devout Hasidic Jewish sect, I couldn't find a religion throughout all of history that didn't believe in an afterlife of some kind.

I don't deny the possibility of consciousness existing beyond the physical self. I'm content with dying and ceasing to exist, so I don't feel the need to believe that something will happen after I die.

The Christian apologist who made the pic probably thought; if a guy incites others to do things that are bad, and other people do it as per his wishes, then the guy probably shares some of the blame, so he put Marx (scary ideology guy) in there for good measure

The interesting question, however, is: what various things have consciousness?


Considering that human beings are just conscious machines, which other entities have consciousness? Obviously other smart mammals have it, but what about insects? They seem quite rigid, but I wouldn't rule them out at all. I wouldn't rule out computers either.


What I'm saying is that we feel like we think. Our thoughts control our actions. Just like we "want" to remove our hand from a hot stove, so does a computer "want" to do instructions in a sequential order.


Are stars conscious?


Do stars communicate?

Is the whole universe one big consciousness?

Makes u think.




PS: I've thought about these things even before I tried acid.

satan is really good. even if he's not real thats ok because he doesnt make any magical promises and he doesnt want you to pray to him. he just wants you to follow your dreams and live life to the fullest :)

Seriously, I can't believe how people chose god over satan after reading the bible.

One is a murderous egomaniac who does not actually know mercy despite talking about it all the time, one just has a live and let live attitude.

I didn't really grow up in a religious family; and the only times I ever went to church is when my dad was banging a catholic woman, but all the pomp and fear instilled into children from it kind of seems like child abuse from an outside perspective.
