just curious shaun,
what do you mean by nothingness?
personally, i don't believe we cease to exist after death. please give me some insight into your nothing-ness theory. why do yu think this? the thought has crossed my mind, but it's to easy of an explaination for me to settle on.it's just that there has to be some force that makes us be "alive". some kind of energy. where does it go after death? one could say that this energy is the "spirit". do you really feel that you are only a physical being; i mean don't you feel that there is something of you that is beyond a physical body? don't you think that it's possible that this spirit takes on some other form after death? some other demention, or level of energy that is unseen to us in our current state?
i'm not putting down your nothing-ness theory, i am just really curious as to why people think this. for all we know, you could be right.
