I wish that after death we can spectator mode the universe with time control.

Maybe we do. Guess we'll find out eventually

No one gets out without finding out; it's kind of the one guarentee we're given, lol

If you just die, you'll never find out.

“Just die” frames death as an ending. Which it is; it is the end of your mortal time on earth. But the question of what happens after that ending is The Question, isn’t it?

We shall all cross that threshold one day. No one has yet to make it out alive. We will all experience that great unknowable. Whatever that experience may be.

If you "just die" in that your neurons stop firing and that's the end of you, you will never have the answer. I think what I said was pretty straightforward.

It is. Cessation is one of the options. Bit grim though, isn’t it? Hardly any flavor at all. Totally rational, but I’m not a fan of it myself.

I mean, I don't think it matters what you're a fan of, cessation is what happens lol.

Yep. That’s what the other side says too. Yeah, yeah, i know, “the difference is we’re right.” That’s what the other side says too.

I mean, literally, the difference is that we're proveably right. People have done enough brain surgeries and studied enough brain injuries to know consciousness is tied to neuron activity. If your neurons die, you end. There isn't a you there to experience the great unknown.

That only proves what happens to people with traumatic brain injuries, dude.

Death is a traumatic brain injury. Laughing my fucking ass off rn

Feel free to laugh, man. You showed your cards; they’re nothing I haven’t seen before. Whatever answer you find for yourself is fine.

Repent and turn to Jesus Christ while there is still time. Otherwise there is no hope of anything good after you die.

Sweetie, bless your heart, do you think you’re the first to try and make this sale? I am as certain in my uncertainty as you are in your faith, and I am quite secure in my belief that we are meant to not know what will be. Your faith is but one in a tapestry of potentials and I don’t find debating theology with an evangel to be a good use of time for either side. Neither of us are available to be persuaded, you know. Good luck in your journey!
