Was wondering what everyone's views were on what happens to us after we die.

But what about after then? What about your memories, thoughts and ambitions?

And if this is all, then why live at all? Might as well die and end this life.

Doesn't the thought bug you that there's no point to anything and we'll all die anyway? And not just us, but also any ancestors, since even in the best case scenario where we manage to switch solar systems, humanity will end by the time this universe is 10^32 years old anyway.

Either it will just be like it was before you were born or you become pure energy.

What's the point of anything then? And if you become energy, what then?

Another question, if no religion is right, how come so many prophecies have come true?

I would guess it's just like it was before you were born. Nothingness, which is hard to fathom in the human mind.

What about the ones that haven't come true? Or the other things that religion has been wrong about?

Just because you may want life to be more meaningful doesn't mean that it is. IMO you give meaning to your own life and give it it's own purpose. And to me that is a whole lot better than some deity giving it to me.

If you predict enough shit some of its going to happen, especially when the parameters for deciding whether or not it's come true are set by those who wish it to be true

Rule one of debate: Take a little time out to consider that maybe it's you who's the idiot

Well I've done that with religion and I'm still cool with utterly dismissing it

Difference between a scientist and a theologian is that a good scientist will pursue knowledge and truth even at the expense of his own previous work

A theologian looks to shoehorn all of reality into a finite number of pages of text, which never change and never can change

I haven't mentioned any specific religion yet, I'm just wondering about all the possibilities. Even if all religions are wrong, it still doesn't mean there can't be a soul. People who have OBE's, NDE's, and those who claim to have astral projected all seem to point to there being a soul.

But if there's a soul, why would brain damage and dementia change someone's personality? But if there is no soul, then what's the point of anything and what caused the Big Bang?

Except there is no meaning. At best, in 10^32 years, this Universe will cease to exist as even the protons and neutrons have a half life.
