What do you think happens when you die?
 

Kind of like the question "What is Love?":thumbup::thumbup:

If we die in the Villages maybe we come back as some of the wildlife for those of us who behaved and as golf balls for those who did not.

I was always told "do not discuss either religion or politics" and I think this might be bordering on religion, so no takers.

This is interesting. I had to go to Mormon services when I was at BYU Law School in 1982. I found the people there friendly for the most part. I went there on a Merit Scholarship which was for non-Mormons but covered the cost as much as if had been a Mormon.

I had a recent convert as a roommate which was a huge problem as I needed to study and not talk about religion. and recent converts often want to spread the news, so to speak.

Heart stops beating, brain activity ceases.

"What do you think happens when you die?"

You get died. :thumbup:

The worms crawl in, the worms crawl out……

Mahmood asks "Where are my seventy-two virgins?"

I'm going home to the Lord.

Is it like living in the Villages? Will you have a golf cart? Will you be able to get a Tee Time of your choice?

Your monthly activity fee ends.

You can't take it with you.

It is actually comforting to me to believe that I will cease to exist. I have a happy life. I think we all get our turn on this 'ride' and then the ride stops and I'm OK with that.

I leave my golf cart behind, and get transported to that great Dunkin Donuts in the sky, where everything is free.:bigbow::a040::clap2::boom:

Other people get your stuff. Don't worry, you won't miss it.😍

Even better!
"What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived” — the things God has prepared for those who love him—". 1 Cor 2:9. ;)

immersion conversion is a strategy to gain new converts. Hence your new convert roommate, and not just by chance I'm guessing.

I think the answer is: "no eye has seen it" = complete void, "no ear has heard" = complete and absolute silence, "what no human mind has conceived" = infinity.

By "Infinity," are you saying after life? Please explain what you mean.

It's a tragedy what hunters do to wild animals; then hanging up their heads as trophies. Watch the movie "Sequoia." The Capitol Presents 'Sequoia,' a Distinguished Animal Film The New York Times - Breaking News, US News, World News and Videos › 1935/02/23 › archives › the-c...
But the film possesses genuine artistic distinction, and it encompasses an emotional cycle that is more profoundly touching than most human make-believe.

My son and his wife converted to the LDS church a few years ago and I attended their baptism. When I asked my son why he was converting he said "They take care of you, Dad". Well, right after the service his bishop, a dentist, came up to me and asked me when my son was going to get a job. lol

Later on after my son and his family moved to the Reno area I went to church with them when I visited. I got to know his bishop who I liked very much and visited in his office on occasion. One time his assistant came to the door and announced Mr. So and so was there with his W2. They are serious about tithing!

More than likely. And two BYU ladies already seemed to have me in their future plans. You need BYU's approval for where you live when attending so I was on campus in a dorm that had separate towers like for the sexes. But a shared food court.

I think the BYU Law School Class of 1985 had two women in it and maybe almost 100 men. Most of these married. And they could bring babies to classes. The law school seemed to encourage it.

Since we are finite creatures with a begining, middle, and end, infinity is a concept that, imho, is impossible to convey or conceive. My spur of the moment attempt goes like this. "With out end. No up, down, right, left, begining, ending. No point of reference. FOREVER."

Can you imagine you are on a line that goes to your righ and to your left. You go one we and I go the other. We both set out. We travel a trillion times the speed of light and we live a million life times. Neither of us are any closer to the end of the line because there is no end. No end! That would be infinity in one dimension. We exist in 3 dimensions. No mater what direction you go you are never any closer to an end, because the is no end. Eternal life would not get you closer to an end, and since you have eternal (never ending, infinite) life, even death can't release your never ending travel.

So, Infinity, could be a curse or a blessing. There is always the possibility of infinite joy and love.

What do you think?

I’m not sure what happens after death. I have a very close person pass away recently. Then a few days ago, as I was watching golf on the television and checking my emails on the iPad at the same time, this person came to me dressed as usual, from the air and gave me a sweet hug and left the same way. I have never, as a scientist, never believed in ghosts but this event was as real as the couch I’m sitting on.

All depends on what you did when you were alive.

Believers in Jesus will spend eternity In heaven with Him. Those who do not believe will spend eternity in hell If you repent and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ you will be saved. He is the only one who paid the price for sin. Many will say I’m narrow minded but you asked a really serious question and you deserved the Truth and a serious answer.

Defending your life
 

I agree. The fun part is defining the " we". Our real selves, our unreplaceable selves is the electrical impulses that course through our bodies, which like dominoes can be traced to the creation of energy at the big bang. Hence the phrase brain dead when this energy is no longer present. Remember after the big bang energy cannot be destroyed.to me this energy houses our souls not the mystical enchantment assigned to the heart . Be prepared to meet our creator for " you know not the hour".

Ever had a general anesthetic? There’s a momentary rush of relief, then nothing. No pain. No tears. No knowing.

Only 30% of the world is christian. Combine that with how many of those christians are hypocrites.What if one believes one day and the next has doubts I.E. waffles. Do they get an admission ticket? That heaven you speak of is a pretty exclusive place.

No one truly knows/can prove (belief/faith is not fact) what happens after the mortal body ceases - except that it slowly decomposes. THAT can be proved. Another thing that has been proved over and over throughout history however, is that the promise and belief of perpetual utopia is the single best way to try and manipulate how adherents act during their lives, both good and bad. The sad part being, that having the 'faith/belief' that there is something great waiting after we die and one only needs to convert/believe (even at the very last second), somehow justifies the abhorrent behavior so many show toward fellow human beings (particularly against those who are not the same as oneself) - while alive.

Not to say that having belief and faith is a bad thing, as it certainly isn't and should be a huge positive toward having a better living world...and how we treat others while alive.

So why hasn't/doesn't it - actually work that way?

Bravo
 

thank you for sharing

"There is always the possibility of infinite joy and love."

"What do you think?"


Why is it so darned hard, for so many, to give it a trial run - while still alive?

Devout missionaries
 

in my career i've worked in many high crime areas. During this time i was amazed at how the mormon missionaries could walk the streets and be left alone to perform their vocation.

Lights out.
 

I don’t believe in hell, if I did I would say it’s what happens here on earth to people that have suffered or are now suffering from the way their fellow humans treat them…..

Amen

" in my father's house there are many rooms"
 

since you asked. I've always pondered why some of us are born in good circumstances where one can thrive
to aspire to salvation. Others, say mongol warriors were born into a culture that demanded of them pillaging and murder. They had no choice. Why was i given one and not them? Hence i believe that some of us are granted another life, a different chance to gain salvation.

I totally agree.

I don't know, but I'm pretty sure I'll no longer have to hunt a parking space at popular venues:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

The thing is ... no one said the 72 virgins were women.
