After death, would you prefer heaven, reincarnation, or annihilation?

>>2389558
Reincarnation as another human in a different time period.

>>2389558
>annihilation
Do you mean nirvana? Either way, heaven isn't what most people think it is (a state of oneness with God) and reincarnations ultimate goal is reaching oneness with God.

>>2389558
>annihilation
This one please.

>>2389570
Oh yeah, if you choose reincarnation, pick whether you want to be reborn in the past or future.

the point of reincarnation is to stop reincarnating though

if you reincarnated it means you didn't break the cycle

>>2389558
>After death
If this is even a coherent question to you, then you're dualismfag.

Reincarnation and Heaven.

Trust Heaven doesnt have 475672883756739915771999999683 souls in it. We all get reincarnated till we do enough good to get to heaven, or do enough bad to get to hell.

>>2389558

Eternal "pleasure" without pain in heaven would be just as bad as eternal pain in hell.

Heaven.

Anyone who claims otherwise is just trolling.

>>2389558
1) Heaven where only the civilized people find their way.
2) Oblivion has a strong case for getting away from all the severely ignorant.
3) I can't stomach the thought of coming back with the ignorant.

Personally, I would infinitely prefer to not suffer and die; but they're so depressing and rude.

>>2389558
reincarnation, and i say that as an atheist

>>2390932

1)oblivion
2) Heaven ( by that I assume you become one with the universe as a spirit, not christianity heaven)
3)Reincarnation, shittiest option.

desu the idea of forever, eternity scares the heck out of me. Like it would be awesome but it is actually unimaginable to think of eternity in any real sense so how would that be?

You'll experience it all at once, every moment everywhere. It'd get real boring real quick, then you'll find yourself doing stuff like making universes and living lives in limited form for fun/to expand possibility and therefore your knowledge. Wait...

If you don't remember your past life how is reincarnation any different from obliteration?

>>2391294
You'll be able to possess bodies. You know when you lose your senses and control of your body to emotion, that's the devil taking over and playing you like Starcraft.

>>2390966

You already experienced nothingness for 13,000,000,000 years before you were born. Was that so bad?

Sounds fucking fantastic. If that's heaven I might just give hell a try.

>>2391302
>You know when you lose your senses and control of your body to emotion

No that's adrenaline, a survival mechanism. Emotions like anger and distrust can keep you alive at times, there are times where suppressing them would be inappropriate. Don't listen to your cuck pastor, there are in fact times when you shouldn't turn the other cheek and let people walk all over you. Keeping things civil is virtuous, so don't go full nigger but don't be a little passive cuckboi.

>>2391337
If suppressing your emotions leads you to starve the devil takes over and uses food like a carrot on a stick for a rabbit.

Lyrics
One evening as the sun went down
And the jungle fires were burning,
Down the track came a hobo hiking,
And he said, "Boys, I'm not turning;

I'm headed for a land that's far away
Beside the crystal fountains
So come with me, we'll go and see
The Big Rock Candy Mountains.

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains,
There's a land that's fair and bright,
Where the handouts grow on bushes
And you sleep out every night.

Where the boxcars all are empty
And the sun shines every day
On the birds and the bees
And the cigarette trees
The lemonade springs
Where the bluebird sings
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains.

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
All the cops have wooden legs
And the bulldogs all have rubber teeth
And the hens lay soft-boiled eggs

The farmers' trees are full of fruit
And the barns are full of hay
Oh I'm bound to go
Where there ain't no snow
Where the rain don't fall
The winds don't blow
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains.

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
You never change your socks
And the little streams of alcohol
Come trickling down the rocks

The brakemen have to tip their hats
And the railway bulls are blind
There's a lake of stew
And of whiskey too
You can paddle all around them
In a big canoe
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains.

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains,
The jails are made of tin.
And you can walk right out again,
As soon as you are in.

There ain't no short-handled shovels,
No axes, saws nor picks,
I'm bound to stay
Where you sleep all day,
Where they hung the jerk
That invented work
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains ...

I'll see you all this coming fall
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains.

Heaven, while it sounds great, is too incomprehensible and varied in definition. Certainly few of the heavens described pre-modernity sound at all worth spending all eternity in. Retaining consciousness for eternity at all sounds terrifying AF in general.

Reincarnation - fuck that.

Annihilation is my pick. Can't be much worried about any experience I, by definition, won't have. Can't think of any more absolute release.

Heaven, obviously. I don't believe in that sort of thing, but that's no reason not to prefer it.

>>2391107
For... Eternity?

This universe only has so much time left in it. It's gonna run down and then tear itself apart, after which ya got effectively nothing to explore. Without agency for creation, you're eventually out of shit to explore and experiences you've not already experienced an infinite number of times.

Even with all of creation and all of time, without the ability to forget it all - you'll get bored.

>>2392295
Well that, and with less than two dozen particles and four forces... There's only so many combinations available.

How long can you play Minecraft? As with infinite memory, that's what the universe will eventually become to you, and eventually, it'll become even less.

(And man, those fucking creepers.)

personally i think oblivion is the better of the two, obviously i wouldnt be around to enjoy it- but being alive gets dull after a bit kinda just meh, i'd imagine after 60 years i'll be more than ready to shut up all the business

>>2389558
spend an eternity growing and learning everything there is to know in the universe. consume so much knowledge that you collapse and implode on yourself. the resulting impolsion containing all known truths in the universe is so massive it creates another big bang, thus the cycle repeats.

Assuming our memory is like that on Earth, I don't think it would be possible to be bored of everything.

>It would take a long, long, long time to get bored.
I don't think you quite understand the concept of "eternity". A "long, long, long time" isn't even the blink of an eye.

>>2392726
>Assuming our memory is like that on Earth
Well, assuming that, it might be so bad, but that limit is a result of physical limitations and faults. If your immortal soul is subject to the same limitations of the body... Well...

Plus, if we assume the soul's mind works the same way the brain does, it compresses everything into notations of recurring patterns, making time move faster and faster - that being why time seems to move so slowly when you're a child, and so quickly when you're old. A young child remembers every step of brushing their teeth, while an adult, having experienced it so many times, just denotes they did so. So, eventually, even in that scenario, in a hedonistic treadmill type fashion, everything would become same-ol-same-ol, and new stimulating experiences would become increasingly difficult to obtain. With all the persistent patterns running throughout experience, perhaps even, eventually, impossible.

Thus, eventually, pic related.

>>2389558
Well if you reincarnate without memories it is no different then annihilation as everything that makes you up would be gone, but if I had to choose I would say reincarnation, into the future, going backwards in time would be odd.

Isn't most modern people's idea of Heaven merely a form of paradise where everything is perfect?

Kinda of like Instrumentality.

Doesn't this just seem stupid?

>>2392933
Usually reincarnation entails some sort of soul-born evolution. Having "everything that makes up you be gone" rather precludes a soul.

I suppose you could say your point of perception remains and changes its "anchor point", but if that's all the soul is, and nothing else...

>>2392959
Christian heaven is sometimes represented that way, but I dunno how wide spread that is as an adult belief. "Eternal joy in uniting with God and your passed loved ones" and other such abstract concepts seem to be the rule of the day.

The Bible is all over the place with it (beyond that it's apparently really bright), save in Revelation. In there we're told there's a big jasper wall, pearl gates labeled with the tribes of Israel and various other signage involved, surrounding a gold city, some 1,400 miles wide and tall, sitting on labeled foundations of various precious stones. Other odd descriptions akin to "[A throne watched over by] beasts, full of eyes, with six wings and neither rest day or night in their proclaiming the holiness of God", and other such stuff that reads more as symbolic code and numerology than an actual recounting.

...So you can see why they tend to go with the more abstract stuff. In the more modern concepts, joy is supposed to be measured by your distance in emanations from God, and heaven is supposed to be as close as you can get - the other place, being the furthest.

>>2391578

initially I was going to vote annihiliation (I still do), but I want to emphasize on this /lit/erary board, even at the hazard of reducing mystery, that this is the best post in the thread.

I have grown to love this song. I myself have busted ass in working class jobs, and continue to do so, with absence of meaning. But it goes beyond that. Here, there is something /better/ than heaven - a world of instant gratification, requiring no submision to some other thing - a straight-up pleasure palace of which one never tires, where the ancient elites, who understood that work is for plebs (unlike the poor modern elites who are obliged to take high-powered jobs to keep up appearances) and hobos alike are free to do the best possible thing - not fucking work. One of the best lines: "where the hung the jerk/that invented work", which also works as a rejection of traditional notions of God, if you are so inclined (I am). IIRC the song is specifically related to old medieval ideas of "a pleasure-world" that had little to do with heaven. It was necessary to imagine such places, exactly because life in general is so miserably hard and unpleasant, and was far more so back then.

Annihiliation, sloth, not burning in hell, not kowtowing to anyone, not suffering. Truly, the asians were onto something, but in my western treatment, it's the Jehovah's Witnesses who get credit for theologically maintaining annihilationism. See, this, I can deal with. I will be quite happy to be totally destroyed, as they see it.

Beautiful, beautiful song. Everything about its sentiment is beautiful. I do sing parts of it to myself sometimes, when I am in a tight spot.

>>2393018

I can tell you right now that most Catholics I've known in my life ascribe to the concept that Heaven is just God's domain and you live in a perfect utopia of clouds and light and shit.

I have a lot of problems with this concept because the Bible is pretty explicit about who can get in/can't.

Thus it seems to imply that if we were to take this more modern version of heaven that it's literally just Instrumentality and not a place of existence where multiple (read as: however many as necessary) are transferred.

>>2393075

Multiple consciousness's/soul's that is.

>>2391007
The human brain can't fathom the concept of "forever". If you die but are somehow still conscious, you wouldn't have a human brain.

We are all visited by the little blue haired harbinger of death and are all made one in an endless ocean of tang.

Same difference, I suppose.

If you're interested in what the afterlife is really like read a few of these:

http://www.near-death.com/experiences/notable.html

Actual recounts of people who have seen it. Common threads among their stories include

1. A dark tunnel that takes you to a realm of light

2. Some form of 'life review' where you see your entire life and get judged on it

3. An all encompassing feeling of love and acceptance

>>2393092

But this is why I hold it to be a retarded belief, just like Instrumentality is.

I know the supposed rules, and so if there is any basis for them -- and I apply even the smallest hint of Bayesian logic to the circumstances I find myself in, I'll have to immediately default to this being an Instrumentality situation and thus the locality defaults from its status of "paradise."

For instance, say I had major oneitis. And that person appeared in my "Heaven" yet I knew for a fact that they despised me, or didn't even think about our relationship after however many decades passed.

How would this be heaven for said person? And further, why would they want to participate in my version of heaven. Additionally, let's take this a step further.

I had a very good friend who was a Jew that killed himself. Because he was A. a Jew, and B. he killed himself, there is absolutely zero possibility of him gaining entrance to heaven. And yet without his presence, I could argue that I am not in heaven as I am being deprived of his person.

Yet if he was there, I would also know that I wasn't in heaven either because of the aforementioned rules.

Basically... I think the whole modern concept is retarded and that the notion of a Christian afterlife is terrible regardless of when you pluck it from the timestream.

You can have your ultra-orthodox prison, which in no way appeals to me, nor comes off as being heavenly in any way. Or you can have your absurd simulation. They're both gonna suck ass, but for different reasons.

>>2393116
You're making the VERY flawed assumption that the joy you experience in heaven has anything to do with earthly joy. In short your 'oneitis' won't even matter to you in Heaven things like that would seem absolutely trivial when you're bathing in Gods love.

Why would you even have the idea that Heaven means you finally get to hook up with your high school crush? That's kind of cute in how incredibly naive it is.

>>2393107

of course, the accounts are flawed in that the people went to the brink and "came back". It is very easy to argue on both sides about this.

I do recall an old oxford debate where a near-death-experience survivor and learned man did describe especially the latter point that you've laid out, anon.

>>2393128

Because of Free Will.

>inb4 no such thing

Then sin doesn't exist, and we can't be held accountable for our actions by God as actors due to determinism.

God can't make me love him, and if I am dead set on following all of the rules to get in, and get in, yet won't yield and decide to just sit down and give god the middle finger the entire time there's jack all he can do without violating his own covenants.

So.

Do you know how naive you sound right now?

>>2393116
Meh, I think the idea is only the like minded will end up there, hence the low numbers of intakes, or, among the more inclusive religions, that we'll all be singing kumbaya in the light of God as we realize that all our differences are ultimately meaningless as we bask in his greatness while all negative emotions are somehow banished, or some such.

...Or tang - we're all part of God and merely returning to the source. Which I suppose works from a Spinozan style sort of view - none of us have our own consciousness anyways, we're just flawed mirrors reflecting the light of the higher consciousness of God.

Either way, yeah, quite a hit to individuality - but as other musings in this thread have hinted towards, given how much of our individuality seems dependant on our physiological form and function, I suppose it at least makes sense that you'd lose some of it, or all of it, in death.

>>2393135
Loving God is the #1 rule to get into Heaven so if you don't love Him then it's a non issue. That said God is love so to hate God would involve hating everything that is good in the universe, you'd need to be a supremely twisted individual, or just an edgy 14 year old, to think you could ever 'hate' God in any meaningful sense

>>2393143

That isn't technically true. That's just the accepted, and feel good thing people say. I simply have to accept that God exists, and follow the rest of His covenants and teachings through the Son. That's literally all there is to it.

I can tell you right now after all of my time sitting in church pews, and going through Catholic school I've never once had a priest or nun say to me, "And do you love God with all your heart?" They just want you to accept the glory and goodness that is the trinity. Reciprocation never comes up outside of hymns and prayers.

In any case, I am not going to let you try and lead the conversation astray.

God may be love, but if I am not able to be with people that added some meaning to my life then guess what? It isn't paradise. It's compromise.

>>2393157
The point is in Heaven you won't care about those people anymore, at least not in the traditional Earthly sense. The grandiosity of creation will be laid out before you, you will understand Gods creation in all it's glory and bask in his love for all eternity. The idea that Heaven means you get to bro it up with all your old friends is a rather quaint idea. It's not a country club where you get to rub shoulders with your ancestors, it's heaven, where the ultimate purpose of your existence is achieved.

How very christian of you. If you were an actual christian, and not a /pol/ CINO, which is what you probably are, you'd feel sorry for those below you and would do everything you can to help them.

Unfortunately, you're too proud and too vengeful to even consider them as equally valuable as you. If you were an actual christian, you'd know that God doesn't really like that

>>2393243
Luckily you get a cosmic perspective in Heaven, that informs you of why it is necessary they be there.

Unless you're going to start going into philosophical paradoxes of identity, frame progression, movement, and Ship of Thesis shit, in which case I'm going to have to start throwing convergence maths at you.

But the point was if your soul is only your point of perception, and nothing else, with no connection to something external to the material that stores that experience, it doesn't serve any purpose, save maybe in separating p-zombies from p-people.

The ego is an illusionso the answer cannot be anything else but reincarnation

>>2391305
There was no me back then to wish to keep existing. There is a me right now that wishes to keep going on. So yeah, it is that bad.

I'v always speculated that, if your consciousness is the result of a determinate pattern in our brain, and it is possible that matter eventually reconfigures into these patterns or something equivalent again, "I" will be conscious again. Soft reincarnation, to speak.

That said, heaven would be objectively preferable by definition.

I'm not a fan of RealLife(tm), but I'd take Reincarnation.
I also feel that it's a bit practical to believe it; if you're conscious now, and you lose consciousness when you die, you will have no sense of time, and thus given unlimited amounts of time to reach the point of consciousness you once had.

I have thought of that too, but I can't think of a solution to that question. I figure we might as well be living as everyone at once.

>>2393374
My purely hypothetical answer to this involves thinking of everything in the third person. Replace "I" with "this consciousness", and think of this consciousness not as a "thing" but as a "fact", an "event". Rain happens in X conditions, this consciousness also happens in Y conditions. If Y conditions that make the consciousness event arise are present in more than one place, then it will happen in both those places.

tl,dr yes, kinda, but it is weird.

In the end, I contest that a copy of you, with no causal chain, regardless of how exact, isn't you - but without knowing what gives rise to conscious perspective, it's not something that I could prove, save that it would be easy enough to prove the disparity in the chain of identity. (Assuming it's the data replicated matter style teleporter, and not the matter-energy transfer beam style teleporter.)

But the CMB suggests there is a finite (if mind boggling) amount of matter in the universe, and cosmological observations suggest that said matter has a limited time in which it can exist and interact with itself. So, soft reincarnation through natural processes, is likely not something you need to worry about.

Ownership of identity is important - otherwise you can't decide who gets to fuck Troi after the transporter cloning accident.

Whether identity is important to unique perspective of consciousness is another question, but it does rather boggle the mind to think how such a dualistic being could possibly function if that were not the case - or, should you repeat the accident enough times, experience anything in any meaningful way, save as some crazed hive-soul god.

But I suppose that brings us back to Spinoza (>>2393141): one soul, many mirrors.

I like the fact that (an) omniscient being/s chose one of the most fragile, weak race to give eternal life and not other more majestic beings in another planet/universe/timeline

Look at me
Look at me
Driving and I won't stop
And it feels so good to be
Alive and on top
My reach is global
My tower secure
My cause is noble
My power is pure
I can hand out a million vaccinations
Or let 'em all die in exasperation
Have 'em all healed of their lacerations
Have 'em all killed by assassination
I can make anybody go to prison
Just because I don't like 'em and
I can do anything with no permission
I have it all under my command
Because I can guide a missile by satellite
By satellite
By satellite
And I can hit a target through a telescope
Through a telescope
Through a telescope
And I can end the planet in a holocaust
In a holocaust
In a holocaust
In a holocaust
In a holocaust
In a holocaust

Not that this isn't a shit thread and thus deserving of it (even if it is more cordial than most shit threads), but if I ever figure out where you new-vogue spiderman posters congregate to launch these spam assaults, I swear...

...I will spam this until you cease to exist, reincarnate, or go to hell, and in the latter two cases, do it all over again, for eternity.

>>2394459
Hell wasnt mentioned and with people like that you have to wonder.

>>2389558

In order heaven, annihilation then reincarnation.

on the right track imo. infinity=everything, all combinations, possible and seemingly impossible, repeating an infinite amount of times, forever and ever

>>2389558
for my answer, google "monism"

>>2393634
Panpsychism solves this conundrum.

the OBvious answer is infinitely relive my own conscious experience across infinite multiversal iterations of my organism

>>2395594
>NDE's can be triggered by intense G-forces. wish it wasn't so, but it is, deal with it
And what does that prove?

>>2389558
Annihilation > Heaven > Reincarnation

>>2391288
But that's happening to you right now.

>>2389558
Heaven, but only if I get to be in charge.

you never answered his fucking question. you claimed to know what most people think heaven is like and when asked to explain how you know you gave a middle school fedora tipper's rundown on heaven. just shut the fuck up and move along to another thread
