Talk Morgan Forums Community The Malvern Arms Whats it like being dead?

Without open minds the earth would still be flat.

And without repeating some of our experiences, we believe that something is going on in the background.

Todays knowns were yesterdays unknowns, and do you really think there's nothing more to discover??

There's always a new model trad coming.......

Iris Dement is great, isn't she? Her 'Our Town' makes me cry every time I hear it. That's a proper sad song.

Ghosts are just the spirits of people who died trying to change the duvet cover.

When I was sixteen, a newspaper reported that my body had been found following an avalanche...so this may well be the afterlife. I have no idea which particular heaven/hell/nirvana/paradise/valhalla this is but do wonder what you lot did to deserve it too?
Could be just 3 wheeled carma I suppose. 😀

With due respect to those who believe, I do wonder if humankind made up religion and the afterlife, so that people wouldn't have to worry. After all, if a Greater Entity is conducting business and when people die, there is somewhere to go to, it will stop the worry about nothing but nothingness to look forward to.

It is a pity that humans will never discover life on another planet - the nearest star would take us around 74,000 years to reach... They might find us of course, but it's unlikely.

The universe is expanding at 70 kilometers a second - pretty fast.... and there are trillions of planets and suns out there.

All stuff to make the mind boggle and make some, me included, have doubts about an afterlife and all that goes with that notion.

I was fortunate to spend time a few years ago with Buzz Aldrin and he was saying that standing on the moon, his thumb would cover earth. That little blue marble in the distance... all that we have ever known, all that we will ever know, all the wars, the religion... all covered by his thumb. We are pretty inconspicuous.

I think of death and whats after as certainty that there is nowt else. So in this regard yep,I dont think there is more to discover.


At the end of the day we are just animals which happen to be at the top of the food chain.

Do people who believe in something else also believe the same is happening in the rest of the animal kingdom ?

Maybe the lost souls of ghostly bunnies running across the moors, or the spectre of a dead spider in the corner of your living room. Like all living things, we are here to procreate and pass on our genes to the next generation.

Yep.

Ive accepted death as the end so try to pack as much in now as I can. I dont want to die and am not afraid of dying as such, just the way I do die !

Well done, Spike.
