Quote by: Darebirth  But when you die, these things are taken away from you. You brain dies, which essentially kills everything in your whole body. Your blood stops, your nervous system dies, and eventually all of your senses are gone because your brain can no longer uphold them.
Any religious out there, please explain to me how an afterlife is even possible if we no longer have any of our senses to expierience this "afterlife" then? |
Because you won't need the physical senses. In the christian belief it is the soul that is saved. The soul doesn't have any visible properties we can see and evaluate.
Additionally you don't need the senses to experience things. The body is capable of dreaming up experiences on its own. Perhaps death leads to a transfer of the soul into a realm that isn't bound by physical limitation such as needed a real body with blood and bones. Of course since we can't see such an afterlife we have no way of telling.
Which makes perfect sense in a faith where people are judged after death. As long as the afterlife remains unknown then there is always room for reward and punishment.
