What do people who believe in this stuff think that is?
I mean if I die at the age of 20, and someone I know dies when they're 30 (but they were 20 when I died), would I meet them there and see them as I remembered them before I died, or would they look like they did when they died? That way I wouldn't recognise them.
I don't believe in this stuff so I don't know why it bothers me, I honestly don't believe it at all. But what do people who do believe in it think happens here?
Would you have to die at roughly the same time that the person you care about dies, for you to be able to be with them there/? Or does it all depend on the individual people? Otherwise you could wait for ages and when you die, they'd never recognise you.
I don't believe in all this, but if it were true I'm guessing you would see each other as you remembered each other? And the same would go for other people there?
I know this is a gay queation btw, it's just something that has been bothering me
And I know I didn't phrase it well
-
Also I know that all sounds like an over-simplistic view of it all - I can't really get my head round stuff like this though as it makes no sense to me whatsoever. I am definitely atheist, this is just one thing I need to stop worrying about.
-
Having peeked at the answer (in delusions
if no where else), age itself doesn't matter.
Nor does time. More, how much you care.
And how much power each person has.
-
Starb definitely has some.

That is what I was thinking. It wouldn't seem right if it did, as it doesn't really mean anything or change anything, if you are still the same person. Even if you change over time and experience different things, you will still be yourself. If I manage to stay alive for as long as I need to though, i don't want to look like an old person to someone who wouldn't recognise me though, someone who would only know me as being younger. That would be weird, wouldn't it?
-
You can appear as you wish.
Again though, that's kinda a matter
of comfort. It's easier to be what you've
gotten used to.
-
It gets into questions of overlapping reality if reality is self-determined. Like what if your lover wants to see you younger and you want to be older? will one or both of you be unhappy (and have your paradise spoiled? :-P )? will you see different things?
Or do you think logic just wouldn't matter in the afterlife?
-
I don't know that logic works in
this life.
-
I see myself differently than others
do. That's certain.
-
I do too
I don't believe in it, but I don't think logic would apply to this kind of thing
If anything, each different person (assuming there were more than one - friends, family etc) would see you in their own way, and different to how you would perceive yourself to be. So if your parter saw you as being younger, that wouldn't prevent someone else you were close to later in life, from sseeing you in the way that they remembered you, which could be older
-
I know that I would see my wife,
most often, as she was when I first
met her.
-
Do you think if I don't die till I'm a lot older, Starbuline would still see me as I am now, instead of how I will be when I'm older?
-
Depends. Her will will probably be towards what
you are now. But, your own might overcome that
somewhat. Doesn't really matter though. I don't
think such things really effect spirits in the same
way. She loves you, and that's enough.
-
i dont even want to think about dying, scares the fuck outta me :laugh:
i need to set my fireagates in rings first and enjoy them for about 40 or 50 years before any dying happens
-

Why scared?

I'd consider more than just rings.
Like, a pendant. Then again, I have
the ONE ring, already.
-
I never used to give a shit about death, it does scare me now though. I'm not sure why though, especially as I get suicidal sometimes. :toporly: Makes no sense.
-
My body just won't allow it.
-
im afraid of dying because i dont want to come out of my body. what will i do? what if i dont know how to control "flying threw the air?" i like staying in my body :laugh:
-
I'd feel better without a body I think
Or I'd rather exist inside a robot
-
I don't know what it would be like to not physically exist though :toporly:
-
i just dont want to see clowns and hear evil laughter when i die, or see my retarded stepdad :zoinks:
-
I don't know what it would be like to not physically exist though :toporly:
It's the same as it was like before you were born.

care to tell us what that is like?
-

That is how I see it, but I'm trying to understand it from the perspective of people who believe all the other stuff as well

I'd rather exist (at least temporarily)
inside your body. :eyebrows:

Personal hell? :zoinks:

I was around before she was born.
Pretty much as it is now. :zoinks:

We just have to find another hot chick,
and a videocamera, and we're all set.
-
I would settle with just the hot chick and the video camera :orly:
-
spoilsport.
you KNOW you wanted to vote that way,
even if your sense got the better of you.
Just give in to your real feelings.
-
You are not girly enough for me :indeed:
-
I am. I just come with some equipment
that it would take some time getting used
to.
-
Your equipment is not preferable :laugh:
-
I know. But, you could get used
to it, and the warmth of my
presence would make you
happier, in the ends.

I remember not existing when I was young. It totally fucking blew my mind.
-
My answer to the question in the first post is: The person will see you how they remember you best.
So Starbuline will see you, Soph, the way she remembers you. And you will see her the same way. :)
-

Endless sleep that you don't remember. Like Dexter/headphase said about before you were born as well. Basically nothingness... which is what I believe in.

That's just the schizophrenia talking.

No, skepticism. There's no compelling
reason to believe the underlying assumptions
to any particular logical system.
