What so you think happens to us when we die?

So lucky the other train was not going your way..

Yep. In terms of conscious knowledge this is what happens for sure.

Unconscious, I’m willing to admit a doubt our “spirit” lives on maybe as a 5% chance. But I’m 95% sure our consciousness /
Soul is a collection of elements that comprise our brains and make sure thing we ha e a “spirit” or “soul”

Death and pasting into nothingness doesn’t disturb me though....I fear pain yes, but blankets? No? (And I love life, no suicidal bit when it’s over it’s over)

Also, some people are indoctrinated as small children into a religion that espouses an afterlife -- with rules and guidance about how to attain a positive one.

And some of these people, when they grow up, put their knowledge of science and their common sense up against what their religious indoctrination taught them and reject the religious teachings because they realize it doesn't make any sense.

People can still find comfort in some of the moral teachings of religion, without believing everything that they learned about the religion. Morals can be consistent over time, but scientific knowledge changes.

Father-in-law died last week. A lot of relatives said they will see him again. I am Catholic, convinced that a man named Jesus walked the earth, and there were events during the three days including the crucifixion that cannot be explained by scientific methods. I also fully understand that the Bible says if you do not believe in the afterlife, there is no reason for Christianity.

In what will sound as a contradiction, I have not comprehended there is a Heaven and that someday we will have an eternal picnic where everyone will sit around smiling.

That's a poetic post.
