If you have a sense of caring for others, you will manifest a kind of inner strength in spite of your own difficulties and problems. With this strength, your own problems will seem less significant and bothersome to you. By going beyond your own problems and taking care of others, you gain inner strength, self-confidence, courage, and a greater sense of calm.Dalai Lama

"When you reject the scientific method in order to believe what you want, you know that you have failed at life. Sorry, but there is no justification, no matter how wordy you make it."

And I left alone ExoByte's assertion that nirvana is an "afterlife." It's not somewhere you go, but a way of seeing by which what dies is negligible. |

My favorite religion is the one where you are reincarnated over and over again until you reach a state of enlightenment in which you deserve to be a the highest level...then you reach Nirvana and cease to exist =). |

I kinda wish there was one, but I don't think there is an "after life" |

Just before a person is about to die, an alien race from somewhere around the center of the universe scans the person's brain thoroughly. They then replicate the brain to exactness, and download it to a core. The core is an internet of thoughts, bound by machines that circumvent many systems of our modern AI, yet somehow allow for incredible depth and storage. The person is conscious in the core, but can't really be called a person, since they lose individuality. By trading individuality, they gain knowledge (because they can freely view another being's consciousness, including memories, emotions, and morals). Based on either a system of karma or seniority (I haven't quite figured that out yet), a consciousness can leave the core and be placed within a mechanical body to live on the surface of the core planet for a set amount of time. |

When you die, you wake up in a room full oh high tech gadgets. A big helmet comes out of your head, and from some speakers not too far away you hear a voice saying "That concludes the demonstration of our life-simulator prototype. Expect the final product to be in stores by next Christmas". |
