Never believed in God or organized religion but the idea of blacking out and nothingness is frightening to me. Read a little on quantum suicide but it seems a bit too trippy to me to be real, tell me more anon how can I sleep better at night knowing I won't join the black abyss after death?
You won't join any black abyss because you can't experience nothing. I say quantum suicide is the closest possibility for a scientific explanation. But otherwise science just says that there is no such thing as an afterlife except for hallucinations right before you die. However, science can tell you what will happen to other people when they die but you will never know what will happen in YOUR experience. It is your private copy of reality and for all you know you could be dreaming.
There is a book called : Soul Hypothesis. Takes a look a the possibility of the soul from a neuroscientist's perspective. The book contains the opinion of 12.

Even if there was one, your ego wouldn't make it so it doesn't matter to the individual person you think you are.

I can accept my whole personality and memories being wiped, just it would be comforting to know I woke up in another form instead of disappearing forever.
Look up cases of childhood reincarnation
Dr Ian Stevenson documented hundreds of casss
