Nothing. You finally rest forever after living an exhausting life for 50++ years and come back to mother Earth

[Cruel World]

Nothing I guess. It's sad but I think that's the most logical answer.

Religion predates the notions of heaven and hell and not all religions believe in them. Earlier religions didn't have an afterlife. Even in Abrahamic religions, belief in the afterlife is a very late development. It's actually quite the opposite. Belief in the afterlife had grown more. as humanity gained more and deeper understanding of existence.

Still, the idea that religion was a way to explain the world in a time of illiteracy remains. But that's a discussion for another thread.

Nothing. We die and thus cease to exist.

Heaven and hell are man made concepts to give meaning to the world back when education was sparse and illiteracy was common. It's also how religion came about.

Then our life is meaningless. All our families, friends and love have no purpose. There IS something. But what I don't know...

If there is nothing after death, then why go to school? Why have family? Why have friends? Why have a career? Why have children? I mean, our lives are purpose less.

I'm not saying we must believe in Heaven, but you can't deny our lives put on this Earth can't be for nothing. We have a conscious. We have free will. We have the choice to either live a great life or choose to sin.

For people who don't believe in anything after life, I pity them. They must not have a great life to think that. Life is way to beautiful to believe we all are meaningless. I want to believe I'll see my grandparents again someday. Otherwise why did I attend all their funerals?

Nothing, and that's honestly the most comforting thing to me.

[Bangerzzz]

Nothing. I can't take people who believe in heave/hell seriously.

Why spend our entire existence, building homes from marriage and unconditional love with a stable career, while role modeling for our children if when we leave this world behind we cease to exist.

So when we die. Everything we fought for, cried for, loved for, bled for, it just turns to black. We lose our conscious and we are nothing.

All our friends and family that passed away are nothing but memories until we perish, but pass it along to our great children.

All my grandparents have died and it hurt seeing them pass away. I grew up with most of them and it's disrespectful in the memory of their existence to believe their life was meaningless when they had a great impact of my upbringing.

Honestly for people who don't believe in something, they've never truly loved or shared meaningful memories with someone before. Because if you truly did, you'd understand that someday you'll want to see them again.

Like my grandparents

humans are animals, when you kill a fly you don't expect it to get any special after life. They're done, just like people

You remind me of the villain in Resident Evil 4 comparing a human's life to an insect. And Leon objected.

If you all don't believe in anything, what's stopping you from murdering anyone then? There's no consequences right? Well maybe not in this life, but what if you really wanted to act it out?

I pity everyone. Maybe we die and we wander the Earth as ghosts. But as long as we see our grandparents, that's the realistic goal.

God gave humans free will and a conscious unlike insects and animals who's only purpose is to survive.

[Wotamin]

Its kinda scary to me to think that there is nothing and I'm not sure how this "nothing" works, so I want to believe in reincarnation

[Persephone]

It's like heaven, but if your gay, instead of angels you have twinks who go around saying Yaaassss all the time.

So you think you'll see your grandparents just because you would want to ?

No. Humans are humans. We have a soul. Animals don't.

[Departure]

But on a different perspective, what about an infant who never got the chance to develop a conscious and free will. I always asked / pondered this. We hear about babies dying under a few years old. Technically they are innocent, but how would they be affected in the after life? Their a mindless empty shell forever because they were put on this Earth, but never had a chance to develop?

They existed for a few months to a year, so they were living but that doesn't conclude to living an eternal life with no conscious. Unless they get reincarnated.

[wehan6]

heaven for Christians. i don't know where the people go who didn't believe in God, but I don't think they'll burn in hell for eternity. that seems very cruel and unlike God.

Yeah hell is where it's at tbh. They serve cocktails and there's good music. But there's loads of ATRLers who are always being messy and fighting over stupid things
