This is beat I think I am really going insane trying to figure out the meaning of life, what happens after death etc. I don't give a fuck if the solutions are as real as a unicorn, if no one thinks about it than we will never get close to shedding light on stuff like this.
I dont feel like explaining myself but I am pretty convinced science has proved most current man-made religions kind of wrong. I mean it was cool when they made them up but now, to me it seems like we are simply a bunch of chemicals and chemical reactions and nothing more. We are just animals that are born, die, and have sex sometime in between. If you think about it what are three things EVERYONE does, well almost everyone -born- -sex- -die-. I think it's funny that men want sex so much more than women, because if we were all "uncivilized" cave people the men are naturally stronger and would be able to force themselves onto women, thus continuing their genes no matter what, which I think is pretty much all we are here for, to have children.
That was unsettling so I tried to think of something to counter that but I had a lot of trouble. At first I was thinking of our brains, and how we don't use all of the capabilities our brain has. I thought of how great technology has advanced and etc., what we can do with radio frequencies and shit. Then I thought about all those ghost stories and while naturally I would say BS, what if when you die you simply rise in some form of energy ( "ghost" ) that machines and our brains can't pick up right now, and there are millions of "ghosts" around us all the time? I mean is there a way to say that is impossible?
I don't know, see this is why I am going crazy. I don't see how consciousness is linked to the afterlife, because consciousness is determined by something man-made (language, what language does the voice inside your head speak? I always wonder what went on inside illiterate peoples heads back in that time...), also I found it hard to believe say infants have some kind of soul that ascends if they pass because have they really even developed much of anything yet?
And then I began to think if the afterlife is eternal, that would get boring. So maybe in the afterlife our spirit or soul can choose to take the form of an earthly being with no recollection of anything, just for fun??? That led me to question what reality even is, what if I am already dead and in some kind of after death experience, shit I could have been from another galaxy, died, made earth in my own afterlife reality, all of its inhabitants, just made it all up, than popped myself in here for fun??? Or is Christianity right and all of these thoughts and technologies are the devil trying to sway me? I don't fucking know and it's confusing as hell, which always leads me back to look at our brain, and say when this shuts down we rkuderui. I think it's gay to say we cease to exist because we can comprehend that, but eternal nothingness would fucking suck, so I can't describe it with words only a bunch of letters mashed up. That makes me feel so bad for people that didn't really have a chance to live, but in that same sense it takes the "human" out of humanity, I mean it just makes us seem like a bunch of animals so why should I care about my neighbors if they are just a bunch of chemicals?
: ( ...I just hope they make some serious leaps in science in my lifetime so I can be swayed one way or the other...if anyone actually got through that and feels like responding, giving me some insight on religion or something I would really appreciate it. I kind of have been meaning to put this down anyway for later use so thats mainly why I typed it out I guess.
