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. |
Imagine a stand alone computer that's never been hooked up to the internet. Imagine saving a bunch of files to the hard drive. Now imagine turning the computer off, physically removing the hard drive, and melting it into a puddle.
Given this
context is it possible for the data saved on that computer to still exist?
If you answered anything other than "no" then you're wrong. It's gone. Goodbye. So long. It doesn't exist anymore.
Same thing with the brain and you. The brain
is you. It's the hardware that runs the software that is your personality. So, it's not possible for there to be an afterlife. It's a dreamthat human beings invented. Wishful thinking. A pretty little lie to mitigate the fact that we know we'll one day die, yet have an incredibly powerful survival instinct.
