  1. of wut could happen when u die...lately all i saw tears of the sun...most depressing movie ever...dont watch it the one with bruce willis in africa....now all i can think about is me dying in my sleep or something and i know if i died today id prolly go strait down to hell...does this bother u guys to
     
  2. That was a pretty good moive. And yes it was pretty sad :(

    I'm actually looking foward to dying LoL, yea it might sound weird, but thats (most likely) the time where you figure out what this is all about. Of course, I still wanna live another 50+ years. The only thing thats scares me is how it will feel. Like will I feel pain, or will it be peaceful. Sometimes I think I want to die tripping on some drug LoL, but then again, I think I'll die naturally haha. :smoke:
     
  3. Thats interesting, I suppose that would be the point where youd figure everything out.
     
  4. Honestly, I have mixed feelings about the whole ordeal...

    One one hand, I'd hate to go to "hell" and be damned for eternity. I mean, if I'm required to truly be sorry for the bad things I've done, then I'm screwed. I can't honestly be sorry for saying "fuck" occasionally. I mean, I can say I'm sorry, but what purpose does that serve? I won't mean it. I'm not very religious at all, but I am biased because I was raised Christian. I mean, I'd hate to be damned for eternity. I can't even imagine eternity...

    On the other hand, I'd love to be able to just get the answers to everything that I'd want to know. I mean, at my beck and call, I could just say "Hey Jesus, did my math teacher in 4th grade smoke weed?" or other questions that I was wondering. even if I couldn't do that, I'd still like to be able to relax and just chill for eternity.

    So, I'll try to just be a good person, and hope for the best...

    But naah, I'm not too scared...
     
  5. I really hope there is no heaven or hell, that we all just fade into oblivion... with no recolection of a life, or anything of the sort. That, or we all go to the magical forest of Marijuana. HAHA
     
  6. What happens after death is whats in your mind. If you dont believe in heaven you wont go there if you dont believe in hell you wont go there.
     
  7. do u believe in god because u fear the afterlife and dont wanna go to hell or do u believe in god because u want to and trully believe in ur religion...that question has been making me feel like shit lately...cuz i dont know the answer...im muslim tho...but i dont pray...i lie...ive stolen...i cuss...i smoke...i drink...ill prolly have sex before marriage...i just want to know why im fucking myself over with the bad deeds when i know im gonna pay for it later and imnot doing ne thing about it
     
  8. How can you be damned for all eternity for such small things that really effect nothing
     
  9. First, ask yourself if you honestly believe the world is as black and white as it seems. And if hell is just a notion created to keep a populace under control. After you wrap yourself around that fact you find yourself interested, excited, perplexed, but not scared. The nature of the universe isn't intentionally evil so I doubt you have much to worry about when you die.
     
  10. in islam we believe u go to hell only up to 1200 years...but for those who killed or raped or do not believe in a god or believe in more then one god...they are damned forever
     
  11. i really want to know if there really is a heaven or hell, because if i found out H&H were'nt real i would be so bad.

    -i sorta think religion was made just to keep people in control.

    i was raised christian , and for the 1st 11 years of my life i went to church every sunday, so im not willing to just give up on religion cold turkey.
     
  12. There is no such thing as heaven or hell. When you die, you just go out of existence. Heaven and hell were created by humans. However, what does make me sad when it's my turn to die, is that I won't be smoking weed anymore. Smoke on while you can...:smoke:
     
  13. Just because there is no heaven or hell doesn't mean there isn't some sort of balancing force. Every action has a reaction. Just because you find out you're master of your own destiny doesn't mean you veer off course for the hell of it. There could be consequences.. :smoke: Yeh I'll miss weed.
     

  14. heh... yea wouldnt that be ideal :rolleyes:
     


  15. sorta?

    try actually studying different organized religions... im pretty much done with organized religion forever, i believe what is logical. i dont want someone elses thoughts shoved down my throat
     
  16. you guys should read A Dialogue on Personal Identity and Immortality
    it's really interesting and expands on the ideas of religion, god, afterlife, mind-body connection, etc.. It's pretty easy to read (it's a dialogue between an atheist and a believer) but comprehending is a different story.. and it's only 50 pages for you lazy stoners! :D
     
  17. If you're are scared of death...take about 200-300 mg of DXM. Time and Space become irrelevant and everything makes sense. You just are. There is no past, present, future. You have lived no life, yet you have done everything. Reality becomes irrelevant while on it. Basically, after I took it the first time...I stopped fearing death, because I felt like I had already died and come back. BTW, I'm telling people to use this cus it can be rough....but just in case you wanted to know, thought I'd post it...
     
  18. very nicely put 420420420

    I also have come to that conclusion
     
  19. most people are scared of what they dont know. I know i am, or something as major as where your soul will spend eternity.
     
  20. I recently watched my cat get put to sleep and I began to think about death alot again.

    I realize that I am perhaps the biggest nihilist I know. I don't believe in existence after death, at least conscience existence. Does anyone remember the time before existence? The time when there was nothing? The only time things have value, that things matter, is when you suddenly are conscience that you are ALIVE, that you are breathing experiencing and wanting/desiring/hating/rejecting things around you, you are interacting with the world and based off of physical reactions, you have your first conscious thought. But that time before it, while not pleasant, wasn't really hurtful either was it? That's because you had no concept of what those things are. If pot has taught me anything, it's that in the end, your memories, the people you are with, everything that you believe yourself to be in this world are not the sum of what makes up you, because in the end, there is no you, no others, just a belief, a manifestation from beyond the void that is temporary. I await returning to that void, but I don't mind being here either.
