Thank you for solving the mystery of death! I'm a much happier person now.
Seriously though, I would really like to believe in the afterlife. The problem is - I think this concept is similar to religion - people created it to simply 'feel better'. As somebody said before, when a person you love dies, your life is miserable, etc. you get this idea that 'this cannot be it, there has to be something more'. So - I delude myself to believe that there is a chance for some afterlife, but my rational part says: you'll rot.
By the way, I don't want to offend anybody, but I really hate those fundamentalists who say that commenting on their religion is bad, that you cannot criticize it etc. Jesus, it's the standard tool for brainwashing - don't analyze something because it may become obvious that it's a lie/delusion/whatever. I'm of the opinion that we should talk about everything and analyze everything.
And btw. I'm agnostic. I don't care what are your beliefs, as long as you treat people with respect. The basic idea is just to be a good person. "It's nice to be nice"
Peace. My first message. Seems like an interesting board.
PS. Sorry for any engrish expressions.
