God will tell you that typing whole sentences in caps is really annoying and that a disgruntled forum member* or email recipient probably did you in.

Why worry about it. Either there's an afterlife, or not. Either way, it's kinda out of our control, and the grim reaper will pay a visit someday. Feck the worry, it's only a waste of the imagination anyways. Just enjoy yourself while you can.:cool:

I quite explicitly rejected the hell of eternal punishment. I don't know where Elvis is.

God puts them there if He catches you touching yourself.

The Worms Crawl In

Did you ever think, as a hearse goes by,
That you might be the next to die?
They wrap you up in a big white sheet,
And bury you down about six feet deep

They put you in a big black box,
And cover you up with dirt and rocks,
And all goes well, for about a week,
And then the coffin begins to leak!

The worms crawl in, the worms crawl out,
The worms play pinochle on your snout.
They eat your eyes, they eat your nose,
They eat the jelly between your toes

A great big worm with rolling eyes,
Crawls in your stomach and out your eyes,
Your stomach turns a slimy green,
And pus pours out like whipping cream.

You spread it on a slice of bread,
And that's what worms eat when you're dead.

Does your mother not feed you on a healthy diet of maggots? Some people are weird :rolleyes:

Enzymes begin eating through cell walls causing the liquid inside to leak out. The eyes are usually the first to go. This liquid gets between the layers of skin and loosens them. The skin of the hands becomes almost like a glove and sheets of skin can begin to slough off.

If flies get access to the cadaver, they lay their eggs on points of entry e.g. mouth, genitalia, open wounds, etc. Maggots work their way under the skin and eat away at the subcutaneous fat, which they love. They can sound like rice crispies working away after they develop into proper eating machines.

The liquid leaking from cells destroyed by the enzymes eventually makes contact with the armies of bacteria in the body. The bacteria were there when the body was alive but without a working immune system, they now have a sea of food to feast on. The population explodes and they sail on the sea of cell goo to just about all parts of the body.

As the bacteria feed, they produce gas. This gas causes bloating. When the body is alive, it gets rid of this gas by letting rip. But with a cadavar, this gas build up until the body itself rips. Bloat is not limited to the abdomen; lips, and in a man, the penis and testicles can be affected. Testicles can reach the size of a sliotar.

Bloat is fairly shortlived; a week/10 days. With all the gas building up, something eventually has to give. The intestines can rupture or the torso itself can rip. Putrefaction begins after about 2 days and this can last a long time. The length of time it takes for a body to decay depends on a multitude of factors; environmental, location, initial condition of the body, hungry animals, etc.

The body basically dissolves, liquid leaches out and into the ground/carpet. The lungs and digestive organs are the first to go. Bacteria munch through the palate into the skull and enter the all you can eat brain buffet. The brain liquefies quickly and pours out the ears and can bubble out the mouth.

Three weeks on, and depending on the weather, and whether animals have got to it or not, you're left with skin, bones, dried out muscle, sinews, tendons; basically a mummified cadavar.

Who knows. I'm on the side of there's no point worrying about it. If consciousness survives the death of the body well then you'll know about it, if it doesn't there isn't a you anymore to know anything. In a universe that could be reduced down to quantum information, it's possible that somthing of the you that was continues as something. It could be diffuse it could be focused. Given we know little if anything about the nature of consciousness itself and are as far away from an answer as we were a hundred years ago, anything is possible, however unlikely.

Before anyone says we know loads about the nature of the brain, yes we do. We know a lot about where many things are located, but where the observer, the us, that sees, understands and reacts to those things we know bugger all. For all we know the structure of the brain could grow in complexity to the point where emergent behaviour happens beyond the obvious physical. It could act as a quantum information focus. When that structure no longer exists does that information disappear? Dunno. Likely but since there's no evidence, beyond an obvious lack of consciousness, who knows.

I look on this subject the way I would look on evidence of alien life. Yes it stands to reason there is life out there, but we have no evidence that says we're not the only ones in this entire universe. Zip. Nada. Conjecture just about covers it.

So keep believing that your loved ones are around in some way if it makes you happy and content and a useful person and if you believe the complete opposite and it does the same, well good luck to both viewpoints. I have much the same position on god.

In other news, when your bodily functions stop, so do you.

Do you honestly believe there's an after life where your parents, your pet hamster, and that yucca plant you managed to kill are all restored and present in happy harmony?

How conceited is that?

I scoff at the shuffling pensioners queueing up at the altar surrounded by bells and smells. The desperation is palpable.

Then if it is desperation, should one not be at least understanding, even neutrally dismissive and stop at scoffing? I figure if it makes them happy and less afraid at the thought of their own extinction, then good luck to them. I certainly wouldn't scoff. Whatever gets you through the night I figure.

RoundyMooney

I do so privately, and not to their faces, and reserve the right to do so. It's hypocritical at best to live ones life with scant regard for karma, ones personal (or familial) well being or whatever up to the age of sixty, and all of a sudden start beating ones chest with religious fervour when the ticking under the floorboards grows ever louder.

If one continues through ones life with the same consistency of belief that they had in their youth, whatever imaginary friend they choose to follow, then more luck to them, at least they are being true to what they believed all their lives.

I never did hold with thought police.

the bible doesn't mention the yucca plant

It doesn't mention pet hamsters either, but that's fiction for you

No doubt Gareth37 will be along shortly to pray for me.
