Even though i am an athiest i personally believe in reincarnation. What is your take on it?

Reincarnation is a possibility...however, I personally belief is that after death there's a great big vat of nothingness.

I dont think there is anything. Just like before you were born, no thoughts,no feelings, nothing.

While I have some ideas, I really don't know nor do I prescribe myself to one idea. However, I know I don't believe in an afterlife, or at least one like Heaven/Hell, Hades, etc. To me, it's most likely that there is nothing after we die. No afterlife, no reincarnation, no souls, nothing.

Sure, sometimes it scares the s**t out of me to think what nonexistence is like, but other times, like right now, I'm either too preoccupied to care ro I use it as a motive to not die as best as I can.

An afterlife would be nice, but seeing as there's no proof, there's more than likely gonna be nothingness after death.

I agree, that's always been my view.

I believe theres nothing. When you die your brain shuts down and you don't feel, taste, or think. Like one huge blackout.

Decay.

But other than that, I dunno. I've never died as far as I know.

I would like to think that when I die, and I'm in the process of being recycledback into the earth, that what ever eat my flesh I will control (i.e. army of worms). But other than that, I expect a lot of rot, and maybe I will have a few gas bubbles escaping from my stomach that will somehow enable me to speak my final will and testimate to my family, or maybe just one final stinky "f you" to the world.

It is a scary thing, but we'll never know until it happens eh?

I think with death will come the ultimate peace. It'll be like falling asleep, except there is no dreaming. Your body rots, and you return to the earth from which all was originally born.

I don't know. It's one of the great mysteries of life.

You'll never know until you're dead, so I don't worry about it anyhow.

Personally, I hope there's something, but I know damn well that there is probably going to be a giant void of deadness, in which nothing happens.

I think there is absolutely nothing. Your consciousness pretty much ceases to exist, so there's not blank space or anything. As long as other creatures are conscious, that is what exists..Sort of like reincarnation, but not.

It's hard to explain.

The dinosaurs are returning...

After death there is decomposition.

End of story.

...and they want their oil back.

Not always. What if you're eaten by an animal? Or if you're burned to point where you're just ashes? OR if you're frozen? I mean sure, there's a chance the ice will melt, but what if you die in the north pole? Then, your body would most likely stay frozen until the planet is destroyed.

See, death doesn't always lead to decomposition.
