Evidently you still have some work to do educating yourself. It take six minutes for the brain to shut down after being deprived of oxygen. We are made up of water and electricty. "The starting point is simple: Right now, any cells in your body that aren't actively sending messages are slightly negatively charged. It gets interesting from there." When the body is buried, it decomposes. Or it used to. Now days they are finding a delay of five or more years due to various chemicals in the body. I am not sure about cremated remains. But that is it. Any soul or conciousness dies when the brain does and it simply ceases to exsist. The end.

Its either all bullshit or not

Truly sorry to hear that -sounds like one of the after effects of coming off the drug, I wasnt ever religious so I really don't know what you are truly going through but I do wish you well , and hope that you get some help. I have a sense form soem of teh other things that I have gone through that its true, time heals, give yourself an easy ride for a bit and when those feelings come try talking back to them soothingly - 'ssshh - all will be well!'

Well, first of of you have to realize that the visons of an aferlife depends otn eh religion. Often pepel talk of Haites and Hell as if they are interchangeable, but Haites is actually and freezign cold, whiel Hell is incredibly hot. The visions of Haides originated in colder climates, whiel the idea of Hell originated in hotter climates.

I fyou were to study comparitive religions, you'd find that the idea of an after life is not univerally "hellish". And as you learn each new story of an afterlife, you will likely find that what you were were taught as a Christian was just a made up story just li9ek any other religion.

You might lok for book recommendations on this site. Most of hte books recommended here have expanded my own understanding,or at least have been very interesting and worth reading.

As far as I'm aware, there is no mention of hell in the bible, but rather it was made up as a way of controlling us. I'm not sure there's absolutely nothing after death, but I am sure that it's not what people have let us to believe..and if there is something, it's not anything we can understand or comprehend as biological beings.. It's beyond our scope of understanding.

...never mind.

I don't remember ever believing in hell, but consider this:

• Would a loving father figure torture his children forever for some minor transgression.
• There is no reason to believe in an afterlife.
• Hell was never defined or described until Dante Alighieri wrote "The Divine Comedy."

You're going to hell when you die in most religions, some don't have one. The main thing to remember is that a religion is essentially an alternate reality.

I began to lose my fear of punishment during the period of time I was rethinking God's nature, prior to completely losing faith in faith. I'd come to the conclusion that a supreme being would not be vengeful or sadistic, as tradition has held. Hell no longer scared me, at that point.

I've never had a fear of hell, even from a very young age I always felt nobody knew what happened after death. I'm not afraid of death either, but a little irritated by the thought of it, I know I'll have stuff I still wanted to do

No, that’s stupid, but if it were real I’d have a first class ticket and reservations.

No gods, no satan, no heaven, no hell. There is NOTHING to fear about death.
Nothing happens after you die. You're just dead, that's it.
