Any answers apreciated! Thank you!

Ok, I'll give it a try but I don't think my answers will be useful. I haven't yet been able to sort out what life is supposed to be or how you distinguish it from anything else organic or otherwise!!



1. What do you think will happen to you when you die?

I don't know.

2. Why do you believ this?

Beyond the limit of human understanding.

3.If some one close to you died, what would you rather happened to their bodies, (e.g burial, cremation)?

The persons closest to me has asked to be cremated.

4. Why would you like that?

To respect this person's wishes.

5. Do you believe in Heaven/######?

No.

6. Why do you believe this?

Heaven and he.ll are constructs of holy books written by humans and are expressions of human aspirations and fears etc. The promise of 'going to a better place' is a ruse of religions to ensure their self-denial strategy works 'on earth' so they can keep people under control. Edit:And if you don't do what you're told you'll go to a worse place!

7.What do you want to happen when you die?

I haven't thought about this too much. Wishes like this are attached to ego which you have to let go of when you die. If there is a 'hall of wisdom' I would join that in some form presumably without the 'I'. Or get the chance to haunt a few people who deserve it!

8. Why do you want this?

This is impossible to explain from a 'living' viewpoint. For all I know, death is an extension beyond the unconscious so it's best to prepare for all eventualities.



no trouble but hope it makes some kind of sense.

ok I don't really like this topic, but I do think it's interesting!

1) I'd like to believe in Heaven, but I'm not entirely sure how it works. I know the fundamentals, but I can't picture it somehow! So I don't really know

2) Dunno really

3)There are good reasons for both, so it would depend on them really

4)-

5) sort of,but I dunno what it would look like

6)-

7)To be reincarnated and have another life. I like the idea that we live until we reach enlightenment, even though it's not part of the Christian religion! I keep having a recurring dream about the second world war, which some people could say be part of my past life.

8) I explained that in 7 I think

I like the idea of that new way of body disposal where they freeze you and then smash the body into millions of pieces. Watta way to go!

Well, that's makes it easier for the bacteria when the bits melt.


PS: through a sensitive microphone I just heard one of them ask its mate what's going to happen after it 'moves on'.

Big thanks to everyone who posted.

1. I believe that there is an afterlife but some people do still communicate with the living.
2. I believe this because there have been times when I have kind of had communication. I sometimes have seen angels, I will not recall the specific event, and I have been known to be able to know certain things without having been told certain things, this happened with one of my friends when her mum died and I was able to tune in and know things that she hadn't told me.
3. I believe that it would be a personal choice for them, and I wouldn't really care which one.
4. I think it is a person's own choice and no-one should be able to make the decision for them.
5. Yes
6. Same reason as in 2.
7. I want to be cremated.
8. I want to be cremated due to the fact that if my family members were to move away they could take me with them, but if I was buried they couldn't.

1. What do you think will happen to you when you die? Oblivion.
2. Why do you believ this? No evidence otherwise.
3.If some one close to you died, what would you rather happened to their bodies, (e.g burial, cremation)?
We currently propose cremation, but it uses rather a lot of energy. Buried in the garden, with a fruit tree planted on top, would be good.
4. Why would you like that? To continue being useful.
5. Do you believe in Heaven/######? No.
6. Why do you believe this? Bad track record of Christianity (like all religions) in describing the physical world.
7.What do you want to happen when you die? Oblivion
8. Why do you want this? See Hamlet III.i

1. What do you think will happen to you when you die?All my sins will be forgiven and I will be at peace
2. Why do you believe this? It's what my faith has taught me; it would be a scary prospect if it were not true
3.If some one close to you died, what would you rather happened to their bodies, (e.g burial, cremation)?Organs used to help others live, then burial
4. Why would you like that?It's what they want
5. Do you believe in Heaven/######?I believe in the concepts. I don't believe they are actual, physical places, more a state of being.
6. Why do you believe this? Again, the belief is a faith thing. The actusl places, I think we would have found them if they existed in our own physical world. I think images of heaven and he-ll are media-generated.
7.What do you want to happen when you die?My organs to be used to save others and then a burial.
8. Why do you want this?I feel it is only right - if I were to fall ill and need a transplant, I would hope to get one. That cannot happen without donors. I think I would be hypocritical to ask relatives to donate without being a donor myself. It is only my soul that will move on, I have no use for my body once I am done on this earth so as much good as possible should be taken from it.

Sorry if you think it's too personal, I do not mean to be rude.

Any answers apreciated! Thank you!

No problemo. Is it a project you're working on? Interesting topic.

1. What do you think will happen to you when you die?

I like to think that a loved one who has already died comes to get you, and this is the point at which you die

2. Why do you believ this?

I believe it because I'm not completely sure what happens. A close relative of mine is currently on their death bed, and my way of dealing with it is to think that as she dies, her husband (who has been dead a long while) will come and get her so that their souls will be reunited again.

3.If some one close to you died, what would you rather happened to their bodies, (e.g burial, cremation)?

For my relative, even though it is the more expensive option, we will have a burial. We've been on the phone to the funeral directors today (in preparation) and were very shocked at how much things cost!)

4. Why would you like that?

Because this would be what she wanted. I know my grandma and my dad would both want to be cremated when they die, so this is what will happen then

5. Do you believe in Heaven/######?

Yes

6. Why do you believe this?

Because I'd like to think that when I die there's a place to go, where you can join people you've lost, lose all your worries and just be eternally happy

7.What do you want to happen when you die?

As we have a death looming in the family, this is something that has crossed my mind lots in the last week. At the moment, I'm preferring the thought of cremation, though it changes constantly!

8. Why do you want this?

I wouldn't want it to cost so much for people just to say goodbye to me. I also like the thought of my ashes being scattered in the sea or something, so I would be set free

I share this view!
