Debate: Life after death
Side: Yes, sure

I do not fear death, mind you. But if I have a choice in between dying naturally or carrying on, why should I not carry on? Death is accepted as a part of life because that's the way things have been; there is no escape from it.But what if there was an escape from it, someday?There is no organism that lives forever, this is true. But, what does carry on approximately forever? Plastics, metals, most of the things we humans artificially create. We have all these things within our current technology, and sadly, our landfills. They won't disappear for millions of years.But I digress.I don't think it's a preposterous notion to suggest that our technology will one day be so advanced that our lifespans are unlimited.

Side: No, it is not possible

It’s about as preposterous as saying our conscience can be active after our brain function ceases as with what is suggested in theories of the 'afterlife,' for me it is anyway. Perhaps this is just one thing we will not agree on but I take it that the evidence shows us that living things die. Birth, energy consumption, youth, vitality, fertility, growth, old age, sterility, deterioration, death. This is what living things go through, some life forms take longer but it eventually happens. I guess I am taking the ‘Atheistic’ standpoint, until there is testable evidence that shows we can live forever, I will take the default position by stating my unbelief.If you want to 'live forever' your best bet would be to accomplish something which will allow your memory to exist in the brains of future generations.Einstein has not died in a way for example, not as long as his memory lives on.
Debate: Life after death
Side: Yes, sure

It’s about as preposterous as saying our conscience can be active after our brain function ceases as with what is suggested in theories of the 'afterlife,' for me it is anyway.How so? The belief in an afterlife is perpetuated by religious ignorance. The belief in the possibility of living forever is something that our technology may be able to accomplish in the future. What makes them equally preposterous?Perhaps this is just one thing we will not agree on but I take it that the evidence shows us that living things die.Sure, all living things die. But back when the human race did not exist, no living thing could create things from the resources around them. Did that mean it was impossible back then for creatures one day to create tools and then use resources around them via technological development?Of course not.Evolution lets us overcome anything, my friend.I guess I am taking the ‘Atheistic’ standpoint, until there is testable evidence that shows we can live forever, I will take the default position by stating my unbelief.Very well; just wait somewhere in between 30-60 years. Then you will have your proof, more likely then not. I believe the only thing that will stop the proof from arising will be a catastrophe that nearly makes the human race extinct, but I don't see it happening. If it didn't happen in the past 30 thousand years, why would it happen now more likely then any other time? It won't. I'll be surprised if it does.If you want to 'live forever' your best bet would be to accomplish something which will allow your memory to exist in the brains of future generations.My best bet would be to do something like that and the technological ascension of death I have explained. Together simultaneously, I'd say that's definitely a complete conquering of death. A slap and spit to the Reaper's face.

We can't even cure the common cold. LOLThere will never be an escape for death.
Debate: Life after death
Side: Yes, sure

Yes when you die you go to 1 of 2 places. You ethier go to heaven which is a place where Christians and Jews go because they spent their time on earth serving God and doing the right things like helping the poor going on missionary trips and bringing other people to Jesus Christ. Hell is for people who didn't believe in God they choose to do the worldy things out there and ignore God and do other wicked things on this earth. Just to let you know when people die and don't believe in God its the person that is setting them selves up for hell because God said that there is free will so you can believe in anything you want but its the person that sets himself or herself up for hell.

You ethier go to heaven which is a place where Christians and Jews go because they spent their time on earth serving God and doing the right things like helping the poor going on missionary trips and bringing other people to Jesus Christ.First of all, unless they are “Messianic,” Jews don't bring "other people to Jesus Christ," nor do they go on missionary trips nor believe in an afterlife the way Christians do, not to my knowledge anyway.Now a few questions:1. Do all Christians and Jews go to heaven? What about if they murder, or molest little kids? Is a person who commits a crime and then believes in God absolved of their sins?Hell is for people who didn't believe in God they choose to do the worldy things out there and ignore God and do other wicked things on this earth.2. Do you have evidence that a place such as hell even exists? I'll even accept scriptural evidence. Be advised however, that I will be challenging your evidence with a lot of scrutiny, so you better know your stuff and realize how big of a pile you just stepped in.3. What happens to the men, women, and children who are born in a place, in a home that have no knowledge of God as it is presented in the Christian Bible? If a missionary does not make it to them in time, are they doomed to spend an eternity in hell?God said that there is free will.4. He did? Evidence please. Again, scriptural evidence is acceptable for me, but it will be thoroughly examined so be on your game.Just to let you know when people die and don't believe in God its the person that is setting them selves up for hell because God said that there is free will so you can believe in anything you want but its the person that sets himself or herself up for hell.5. Simple questions here, if you are being punished by the choice you made, do you have free will? If you are given any incentive for the choice you make, is that really making a choice on your own free will? As a strict determinist, I will even go as far as to challenge you to prove if a concept of ‘free will’ can even exist.You are not prepared.

If they turn away from the sin and not go back to it again and serve God for the rest of your life yes you are saved
Debate: Life after death
Side: No, it is not possible

Nothing to say about the rest of my post? Or are you still trying to come up with a proper retort. I hope you at least looked into what I said and possibly realized that what you have been indoctrinated into as a child is not as you originally thought it was.a few more questions: If a hell exists, why isn't it mentioned in Genesis where it describes the creation of the universe? It mentions the heavens, why no mention of a hell? Furthermore, why does it say in Genesis 3:19 that when we die, we go back to the earth from which we were made and not to an afterlife of hell? or heaven for that matter?
Debate: Life after death
Side: Yes, sure

There wasn't a hell but if you read later on in Ezekial it talks about how Lucifer wanted to become like God and then God sent Lucifer down to Hell along with other angels who thought about the same thing.
Debate: Life after death
Side: No, it is not possible

Ah, the old ‘Lucifer the Fallen Angel’ myth… you really need to do some homework because this alone speaks volumes of your understanding of your faith, or lack there of rather.Doesn't it strike you as odd that the name Lucifer, a Latin name, appears in Hebrew text? Especially considering the Roman Empire didn’t even exist during the time Isaiah is speculated to have been written? If you ask someone who knows Hebrew or if you ask a Jew to interpret this passage from the Torah, you will get a much different story than what you were taught in Sunday school. You will hear the story which was taught before Christianity was even perpetrated.The passage you refer to in Ezekiel is referring to the fall of a tyrant King’s reign, not the fall of an angel and his cohorts. The same can be said in the book of Isaiah, where it refers to the fall of a Babylonian King, it too was misinterpreted as the fall of an angel named Lucifer.Christianity is notorious in other faiths for making stuff up and misinterpreting things, kind of like how Mormons are viewed by other Christians. I’m surprised the Jews aren’t utterly appalled that Christians have warped the meaning of their holy text so incorrectly… but then again, unlike Christians; my experience of Jews is that they are a lot more tolerant of others who don’t share their faith, so maybe that has a lot to do with it.I’m sorry to be the one to inform you of the lies you’ve been fed throughout your life, but I feel it is quite important that you see the truth, because the truth shall set you free. And please PLEASE don’t take my word for it, that’s the last thing I would want. I want you to cross examine everything I say, research this very thing and see it for yourself, otherwise I highly doubt you will believe me. Research it (preferably with a reliable, academic source and not more Christian propaganda), and you will see that I am not just making stuff up. Or you can continue to believe the lies you’ve come to confidently pontificate about, your choice.

Well, if you think Christians and Jews go to heaven, what about Muslims? They believe pretty much the same stuff as you guys do. They believe in one god (Allah), they have a prophet similar to Jesus (Mohamed) and they have their own bible (The Qu'ran). In fact, the similarities between Judeo-christian beliefs and Islam are remarkable. So, you're telling me that your book is better than theirs because...? The truth is that their is no life after death. There is no heaven. There is no hell. You die and you just die. People believe in heaven because they can't accept the fact that they die and are so scared of the truth that they invent a make believe place to comfort themselves.
Debate: Life after death
Side: Yes, sure

Muslims dont believe in God. They believe that Jesus Christ was a prophet when he said that he is the Son of God. They also believe that Jesus never died on the cross they say in ther book that it says that Jesus was came down from the cross and became a muslim when he died on the cross for our sins and rose from the grave.There is heaven and there is a a hell. People who had near death experiances saw Heaven or Hell. In the Bible it says that in hell there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth and the person saw it. In heaven the Bible says that there will be golden streets in heaven and there was when this person went to heaven.

Same difference, my point was that you're naive.... And uneducated I might add. It would behoove you to get your nose into the books before you go on a site like this, not a requirement obviously, just a suggestion.
Debate: Life after death
Side: Yes, sure

Muslim faith and Christian faith are opposites. We do not worship the same God. In Islam they deny Christ, deny that Christ is God in the flesh.Muhammed is not Christ......Christ lived a perfect life....Muhammed lived a sinful life and did not even follow the tenants of his own faith. Just how many wives did he have? Over twenty.....and in the faith it tells them they can have no more than four wives. You don't know much about either faith if you think they are even close. They are polar opposites. You made a factual statement based on what? There is no life after death you said. Prove it. At best your guessing, because it is impossible to prove. For many people heaven and hell are real, they are places. As a Christian I read that Jesus warned us so much about the horrors of hell. You say an afterlife simply does not exist...that we just stop. If that is the case then ask yourself this one....What about the evil done in the world...the Hitlers, child molesters, rapists, thieves? In your world...they lived great lives doing what they wanted and GETTING AWAY WITH IT. If there is no life after death, then there would be NO JUSTICE EVER SERVED. Does that sound fair to you? So in your world.....you should just do whatever you want...because in the end, if you can get away with it, nothing will happen to you. And I would just bet you are anti-death penalty...so evil never gets punished, but rewarded. This is one big reason I believe in an afterlife. I believe the truth and goodness will triumph. In your sad world....it does not.On the flip side......those that lived good lives...helping others, donating time and money to the poor, humanities helpers....will never be rewarded. Lets ignore the good....and reward the bad. This is injustice...the opposite of what God is. In your world nothing matters since everyone will cease to exist. I would then ask you.....what you think lifes purpose is? I guess you would answer......any joy you can experience for the moment (and that could be ANYTHING)....cause nothing else matters.  Such a sad world you live in.

Also there is some books that tell where the person went to the Heaven or went to Hell and these books are not fiction they are true stories and why not care to read them and think what you think about the story to see if its really fiction.

Also there is some books that tell where the person went to the Heaven or went to Hell and these books are not fiction they are true stories and why not care to read them and think what you think about the story to see if its really fiction.This a copy-paste from an older debate I posted in, I think it is relevant to your point.I would like to point out that the human brain is very similarly wired in all humans, so experiences under duress would or could be similar.That said there is no way of verifying anecdotal evidence, but consider the fact that certain chemicals when introduced to our bodies create the same sensations and hallucinations (obviously the hallucinations would be person specific) in everyone.As in Jon's story he achieved a high through meditation, it is commonly known that deep meditation produces serotonin and dopamine levels to rise in the brain, the same chemicals that are stimulated by recreational drugs, such as MDMA, THC or Opiates, albeit without the negative effects of chemical stimulation. The fact that these effects are univeral among humans is a point of consideration.Now take near death experiences, when you die your body releases it's store of DMT, which you have since you formed in the womb, Dimethyltryptamine, in a decent quantity is said to give complete out of body experiences, the bodily stress coupled with the drug could simulate the same style of hallucination, (while some of the stories are similar they differ in the specifics) and it is only those that have been brought back from a certain point that can tell us the tale, others can suffer brain damage, through lack of Oxygen and over exposure to DMT. The rest unfortunately die.If we all respond to drugs in mostly the same ways, would it not be conceivable that this is what is happening in this situation, I think it is far more likely.Although there maybe a lot of people that experience the same thing (a Godly manifestation) I wonder how many are religious themselves? I've read about NDEs involving Atheists that don't see God, and neither do all Christians.

You're wasting your time with that one, but yes, that is a great study.They actually had a similar experiment in England where they had people volunteer and certain stimuli were presented to the brain through this large contraptions fit around the head, nothing but lights and sounds. The stimuli did not differ from one persons to another, but the religious in large part claimed an experience of god and the non-religious claimed nothing of the sort.In other words in these instances which can effect any human, we "see what we want to see" or hear or smell etc. For the religious that is more often than not some religious phenomenon.
Debate: Life after death
Side: Yes, sure

Yes there is life after death.When you die, the microbes in your gut and throughout your body eat away at your corpse, other life forms like insects and scavenging animals eat your corpse, mold, fungus, and plants eventually consume your corpse as it rots in the ground. The energy your body had is made into new life for months after you die. That new life then dies and it’s energy is passed on again repeating the process. Energy is not created, nor is it destroyed, only transformed or passed on.It’s the circle of life and death, watch the freakin’ Lion King.
Debate: Life after death
Side: Yes, sure

Yes, energy is dispersed, but the whole is dispersed- and cannot become one again, this is death, and the whole being one is life.

Dreams are a reality not well understood, but may well be a gateway into the world beyond the grave. The places I have seen, the people I have met, make me suspect there is far more than meets the eye, when it comes to consciousness after death. Ghosts and their numerous sightings throughout the world are yet another proof of the here-after.

Dreams are the result of random bio electrical signals being fired off in the brain and an irrational mind’s attempt at making sense of it all by inserting random images from the subconscious… ...wake up

Side: Yes, sure

There must be some form of life after death. A new dimension, an alternate universe that consists of only those that have died in our universe, a supernatural destination where souls or consciences venture off to, or a place that exists in our minds which avoid a physical death and continue to exist in a simple thought-based way.
Debate: Life after death
Side: No, it is not possible

How would you know what's after life? Have you died before, the after life if there is even one is debatable no matter what you say. Know one knows for sure there is life after death, people believe it get a sense of being safe.
Debate: Life after death
Side: Yes, sure

It can't be proven either way. All we know is about this life on Earth. Our science is not capable of evaluating an afterlife. I'm simply making the case that there must be something that happens after death.
Debate: Life after death
Side: Yes, sure

I'm simply making the case that there must be something that happens after deathWhy "must" there be something that happens after death? There is no evidence for it, granted that doesn't mean that evidence doesn't exist. But considering that there has yet to be shown any testable proof, wouldn't the default position be that there is no life after death until proof is shown? You can make arguments of possibility, even probability, but until there is any evidence, the position that there is no afterlife is the most valid as for now.My position is that there may be life after death by way of our energy being transformed or consumed back into the environment, the earth, the universe. I realize that this is not necessarily what the OP is referring to as afterlife, but it is one in the strict interpretation of the word. Not only that, but it follows the law of energy conservation in physics and leaves out superstition and hopeful attitudes which can lead to conflicts of interest. We are not conscious of that 'afterlife,' so no sense in following whimsical delusions that have only been a detriment on the evolution of our species.
Debate: Life after death
Side: No, it is not possible

Or do you choose to ignore these parts? An all-forgiving God is actually a very popular Christian belief. I'd have been surprised if there was nothing from the Bible supporting it.In the grand scheme of everything that exists, whether it is supernatural, metaphysical, or natural, it just doesn't seem accurate to say that there is nothing realated to life after death on Earth.There is no evidence for it, granted that doesn't mean that evidence doesn't exist.Of course there is no evidence. It is purely hypothetical by nature, because if any afterlife does exist, it's not like there would be any Earthly proof of it. But considering that there has yet to be shown any testable proof, wouldn't the default position be that there is no life after death until proof is shown?Sure, you can look at it like that. But concepts like an afterlife (again, if it does exist) would never really be able to be proven our sciences that our world/universe can offer.You can make arguments of possibility, even probability, but until there is any evidence, the position that there is no afterlife is the most valid as for now.Most valid according to our logic, which does not and should not consist of hypothetical reasonings about a so-called afterlife.

though it is a superstitious talk.our grand parents tell that there is sure a next generation for every person.as animal or human.
Debate: Life after death
Side: Yes, sure

in my opinion, there is a life after death. i believe in it, because i think all people who died they go into another wolrd and live there. they look at us and our life, but we cannot do it. some people saw their relatives in their dreams. i think, it is not simple, maybe they just want to say something or to correct their activities and show mistakes. in my religion, when somebody saw his relative, it means that the person should go to the place, where his relative lie. so, i think, the life after death exists.

Of course nobody can be absolutely sure whether there is life after death or not. No one can clearly answer this question. I believe that life after death exists. Because nothing in the world appears from somewhere and disappears into nowhere. And our souls too. So I believe that our forefathers, or rather their souls live among us, watching us and protect us
