But that isn't what most people mean. There's individual consciousness after death. But note that if you seriously believe in consciousness after death, then you are not taking death seriously.
Death is sort of like graduation, or emigration to a strange country.
And if you don't take death seriously, then, like the Christians of the Inquisition, you'd think nothing of burning someone alive for his own benefit. To make sense of the arguments about killing, you have to take death seriously. And that means you have to abstract from any particular theological or religious doctrine that mitigates death. Death, therefore, the most awful of evils, is nothing to us, seeing that, when we are, death is not come, and, when death is come, we are not. It is nothing, then, either to the living or to the dead, for with the living it is not and the dead exist no longer.
