@Allelse what happens, you know there are 100s of different faiths that say say different things so is nice to find out which is right, if any?
but really, even from an early age i've always asked what is the meaning of life?
like really, teachers thought i was weird.
but idk i just do

I dont see any problem with that. I generally think there wont be anything after death but you never know! And I dont seen any problem with your curiosity.

No need to say sorry, you can ask me anything you like.
Well, the universe is an impartial, unfeeling existence. We are not completely unfeeling, humanity that is, we're capable of compassion and all the rest; but the universe, the system at work, birth, death, decay etc is without debate, argument or even in the slightest chance to be bargained with. You're born and then you die. You were not conscious, your born and you are conscious and then you die and are without consciousness. And from what I understand, once your brain dies, well then, you die. We are our brains and while human choice is the ultimate decider before an action is made, it still to me seems nothing more or less than another biological command in reaction and within relation to stimulus, genetics, life experience, upbringing etc.
All the beliefs about death to me are the workings of a primitive people doing their best to make sense of a universe they couldn't possibly make sense of, and I dont blame them for coming up ideas such as 'heaven' and 'A great, grand paradise'. I mean with all we go through in life, its nice to think there is something grand waiting for us on the otherside, but from what I've seen and with what our species has learned about the universe, well, I dont think there is anything after we die.
