Guest sibon Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 If you watch this time-lapse video of echinoderms and nemertine worms eating a seal carcass you'll realise the answer is most likely yes: That is brilliant. I want some of those for my compost bin:hihi: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EbonyBranch Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Theists belief its either or heaven or hell. What do atheists think happens when you've gone ? I think a more interesting question would be: "what to deists think happens after you die?" Personally, as an atheist, I'm seriously considering being bitten by one of the walking dead in the inevitable forthcoming zombie apocalypse so that I can walk the earth as a flesheating corpse forever. Or at least until I rot. Failing that; organ donation. Perhaps I can possess the recipient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky_Gibbon Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 As others have said, physically my organs will go to other people and the rest my family and friends can do with what they will. I like Eddie Izzard's idea of being 'twanged into a tree' to entertain the kids. In any other sense of death other than the physical, I'll just return to the state of non-existance I had before I was conceived. It's not a concept that bothers me at all.

quisquose Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Let's not forget that one of the most famous atheists Carl Sagan wrote Contact in which the possibility of some sort of life after death is hinted at. In my most intoxicated moments these are the same sort of wishy-washy thoughts I like to entertain, but then in my most rational moments it's back to the same nothing there was for me 100 years ago. I remain an atheist as I contemplate both possibilities since atheism has nothing to say about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 we've had so many threads on religion i just wondered what atheists thought. but reading the few posts above not much The end of the phenomenon we call consciousness, the rest of the world goes on without you, your body rots and gets eaten by worms.

carosio Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Actually, so am I. Although the card they sent me isn't up to much, would have been so much cooler if it had some holograph on it. Don't worry about having it stolen-they wont be in a rush to use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremyjh1 Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Theists belief its either or heaven or hell. What do atheists think happens when you've gone ? Burial or cremation. Maggots and worms or flames. And.....? Nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritPat Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 You rot down and the material remains are fed back into the system. Your stab at immortality is the continuation of your genes via your children and grandchildren and/or the memory and use by future generations of the work and achievements you leave behind you.

jobee Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Theists belief its either or heaven or hell. What do atheists think happens when you've gone ? Dead means dead, It cant be bad if you know nothing. What did you know before you were born......nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
