I have come to grips with the fact that when I die there just might not be anything but nothingness.
I am at peace with knowing that we will have an end someday...I don't really like the thought of being somewhere eternally, Heaven or Hell, they both creep me the fuck out.
Hell: You burn in agonizing pain forever and ever until forever.
Heaven: You live like a robot worshiping "God" forever and ever until forever.
When you realize that this life is all we have and after that there is nothing, you cherish this life more than the average person..... my relationship with my mother has become far more better communication wise and I spend much more time with her now that I've found myself.
When you realize this, you live life to the fullest instead of fucking being afraid of some Overlord documenting your every move......making you feel bad if you have sex or go to work on a Sunday. If you don't believe and live by some rules in a book you'll burn in a fucking fiery pit of hell? No...not me.
I choose to enjoy my life as much as possible, happiness is not guaranteed but at least we can all try by respecting each other, being kind and helpful, making sure that this world is a better place to live, just because you are a Muslim, Catholic, Gay, Straight, White, Poor, Rich etc doesn't make you inferior or superior to me.
Religion sets us apart as human beings, there are Muslims out there planning to bomb themselves along with other innocent people for their Religion....the belief that they will die and have 72 virgins waiting for them or some bullshit....it's madness.
Anyway, back to the initial topic.....when I die, don't pray that I'm in Heaven watching over you, don't have a preacher pray over my body, don't read any Bible scriptures, just mourn my death and move on with your life, later on, be happy that I am at relief from the trauma and craziness of this world.
It's really hard to think about nothingness after death since we were all raised being taught to believe that our souls will be somewhere, but isn't it a better feeling knowing that we don't have to fear the afterlife just in-case we live the way we choose to live?
