It's a stupid question. If your personality can't overcome brain trauma, how about brain death? Simple, eh? |

I'm an athiest, but I believe anything's possible in an infinite universe. |
|
Anything's possible. I'm hoping there's an afterlife, but I wouldn't bet on it. |
|
I have a feeling that reincarnation might be roughly analogous to the truth... but I don't know. That's just based on the huge improbability that the current time should happen to intersect with my life time... |
|
Break the definitions between life and death, and existence and non-existence. THe question is meaningless, in the end. |

no i don't believe in an Afterlife. Your consciousness is in your brain, for example if you have your frontal lobe removed you lose your ability to feel emotion, so that's destroys who you are. Similarly there are parts of the brain that control memory, fear etc. So basically since when you die your brain ceases to function i see no reason why you do not simply rot away and the elements you were made up of are used as nutrients for other creatures( and don't give me that, " well your now part of every creature...please") |

Lugggs and cuddles and hugs for all!!
I believe there is an "after-life." More specifically, that after your life is done, you are dead. |

I don't, but you can't assume every atheist doesn't too. |

Judging from the way you post it wouldn't be too much of a surprise to have that ridiculously bad style accompanied by mundane contents. |

How so? If it's the mental result of physical processes at a specific location, it would seem logical that this is the the location of consciousness as well. Where "consciousness" doesn't define a clearly marked-off area but a continuum of locations. Kinda like when you ask "Where is the gas?" and it's actually all over the place, but for approximation you'll just say "It's in this room" or "Part of it went outside". |

Atheists are not a dogmatically constrained group. I would imagine there are atheists who believe in an after life for whatever reason. |

Serkat; I know what you mean, but let's be careful; hopefully you agree that we can say that consciousness is the result of a process, loosely speaking... in the same way that, say, adaption is the result of a process of natural selection, as a weak analogy. The question, 'where is adaption?', clearly has no meaning. |

You're being well to general with the definition of atheist. An atheist just doesn't believe in god, and though most probably do not believe in the afterlife asking this question is a bit like asking "Do white people believe in Jesus?". |
|
I believe that when you die you go to a big black empty void and helplessly float there in the cold, numb, dark for all eternity... |

Truths are material, like vegetables and weeds; as to whether vegetable or weed, the decision lies in me.

A few years back I went to the Buddhist centre in my city very regularly. A large portion of their puja was dedicated to making offerings to supernatural beings, boddhisattvas, buddhas, etc. |
