Is there any reason not to believe in an amazing afterlife? If you are wrong, you will never know it. If you are right, you will have an amazing, carefree attitude to life with a lot to look forward to.

How can you choose to believe in something? It's not like I can just decide at any time to believe in a religion.
Noah Morris
It'll cause a lot people to kill themselves to get to that afterlife
James Garcia
Afterlife is a dumb meme made by people who want to stay alive but don't want to have to live in this shit world.
Austin Brooks
the notion of an afterlife is too good to be true, it's essentially just millennia of wish fulfillment from a species trying to wrap their heads around being self-aware and aspiring to a greater purpose than organic compost
Elijah Scott
Imagine being so dumb you think that you can "choose" what to believe in. Imagine being so dumb that you think eternal existance is somehow a good thing in any form
Mason Taylor
>he hasn't looked into NDE research
Wew
Lucas Ross
There is no reason not to I suppose. It is just very difficult to genuinely believe in one if you have an IQ above 85
Xavier Morris
I take it you haven't looked into NDEs, right?
Lincoln Collins
It wasn't in their life plan to know the truth ;)
Not just NDEs though -- I feel like astral travel is a glimpse into that type of shit too and it's a lot easier than dying momentarily.

Brain conjuring up hallucinations as it shuts down, what different people see is different and often tied to their beliefs as well, just more dumb shit.
Jeremiah Jones
Yep. They'll get a kick out of this on the other side.

There are a lot of layers to this, but I promise you it is not nearly that simple.
Jacob Perez
>he doesn't know about the chemically proven DMT trip before brain death
whew
William Flores
imagine being so dumb that you don't believe in anything remotely interesting
Brayden Garcia
You're wrong, and you'll never know it, but you're still wrong.

Gavin Sanders
>he thinks a chemical can affect the brain in such a way that it is able to create hallucinations that are more real than real
whooptywhuuwhuu
Ryder Cruz
I believe in some kinda metaphysical abstract meta-layer to reality, but you're right trying to force yourself to believe in something like Christianity is hard. Though I still like to think there are special beings that come along every so often like Jesus and the buddha
Lucas Gomez
The only way to realistically have an amazing afterlife is through transhumanism.
Henry Parker
imagine being so dumb that you believe in things merely because they are interesting rather than by evidence or at least scientific theory
James Rivera
actually yeah they can, you should try it some time. it's pretty fucked up
Alexander Mitchell
you can't be disappointed if you have no expectations. If you want me to believe there is only the best afterlife I can possibly imagine and no horrible alternative then it doesn't fucking matter if I believe it or not. I either won't be around to know, or I'll be in it without my consent and pre-knowledge. The only reason to believe is if you get sent to a bad afterlife if you don't. however there are plenty of reasons to mot believe that anyways. Pascal's wager is dumb.
Hunter Martinez
>schizophrenia patients can distinguish hallucinations from reality before someone tells them otherwise
kek
look dude if it were up to what I want to believe I'd stake my luck in reincarnation but life doesn't guarantee anything after this
Jacob Flores
imagine being so dumb that you don't understand the first thing about scientific theory
Xavier Kelly
Samuel Bailey
the best way to think of it is that we're not really here at all. We envision some sort of self that came into being, when it's just a bunch of cells lumped together, that will eventually disperse upon death. The self is an illusion the same the way we interpret colors or sounds is an illusion
Xavier Hill
>he can make himself believe in anything because it feels good regardless of the evidence
Dominic Torres
>his bible is wikipedia
Connor Nguyen
I'm on board with this theory
Wyatt Jones
>regardless of the evidence
Which is actually on the side of survival research:

On a scale from 1-10, how shitty is this world? And is it the world itself that is shitty, or just our society?
Robert Fisher
The pursuit of truth I suppose
Andrew Nguyen
Schizophrenics can actually be aware they're going crazy
Nicholas Lopez
because to me the only thing worse than those close to you lying is lying to myself. Simply put no matter what sort of mental gymnastics I try and perform I will never truly believe it.
Thomas Powell
sounds like exceptions to the rule though
Connor Gray
The real mind fuck is when you realize that the physical matter is ENTIRELY illusionary and all we are is pure eternal consciousness.
Brody Hill
The human shell we take is inherently awful. Our brains are not designed for sustainable contentment. I would give it like a 2/10.
