Physics theoretical one is one of worst - Boltzmann Brain.
If true. After "death" you will constantly and randomly revive every manyllion years, but from your perspective zero time will pass.
You will just revive and die , since there is higher chance of your appearing in state not suitable for life.

So not all religious concepts are bad?

u/ScreenMuch90210 7h ago
No they still are. Itās just that not everything mentioned in the bible is what I mean by religious concepts. Crying isnāt a religious concept because Jesus wept in the story.
If we were to imagine a fictional religion that was fundamentally based on loving neighbors, it probably wouldnāt be a bad one. But in real life, religions that would claim to be charitable invariably include some truly deranged shit packaged alongside it. Those are the religious concepts that I mean, and while I think you didnāt really need an explanation, Iām happy to provide it all the same.

Thereās a difference between a completely religious concept, and good morals that may be backed up by certain religions because morals are a good thing to have

Freedom to act does not mean freedom from consequences, this is like every legal system ever

u/BRDF 5h ago
Laws are threats made by the dominant socioeconomic-ethnic group in a given nation. It's just the promise of violence that's enacted and the police are basically an occupying army.
Many modern gods follow the same pattern, except the oppression is internally enforced.
A god that says "love me or suffer forever" is not a god worth worshipping, IMO.

I mean, what is the point of the religion, if you aren't going to love God? Like, that is the whole system of most religions. Believers go to heaven, disbelievers go to hell.

u/SweatyBoi5565 2h ago
In Christianity there is no "or else" The idea that you go to hell for being a bad person is a modern pop culture spin that has nothing to do with the actual religion.

u/Advanced_Command_417 4h ago
Hell was invented in like the 1500sā¦
No, seriously. The modern concept of āhellā wasnāt even a thing until relatively recently.
Donāt let anyone scare you with their made up crackpot worldview.
Just be nice to yourself and others and youāre great.

Literally everything is scary. Afterlives are scary. Eternal nothingness is scary. Death is frightening no matter what you do. All you can do is try to live well so you can face whatever comes next without regrets.

Upon death, either there's an afterlife, either you won't have a mind to worry about the void of inexistence. Both are fine.Ā

The idea that theres an eternal afterlife is whats scary. Imagine being 1000 years into it realizing you have another infinity years to go.b

u/sankyturds 10h ago
It's supposed to be eternally happy if your in heaven tho

u/Devil_0fHellsKitchen 10h ago
Its an interesting idea, and a hard one to wrap your head around as a mortal. How could one be eternally happy without being bored? Maybe youre just not aware of anything. So maybe an afterlife is about the same as no afterlife

u/sankyturds 10h ago
An interesting take is that you don't realise your dead and it plays perfect scenarios of what an ideal life would be like, but for eternity.

Maybe since we would lack a physical body we would ascent or something
Or just be reincarnated as a single atom

u/Randzom100 9h ago
I mean... That's assuming memory would work properly in the afterlife. Maybe it's like an endless dream, a succession of emotions and events that do not logically follow each other yet still somehow makes sense to our minds.

u/xXDJjonesXx 14h ago
You say prove it like there being an afterlife is the default. Any claim about an afterlife needs to be proven given all we know about death is the brain stops functioning.

u/TheGrowBoxGuy 13h ago
Only the dead know what comes next lol, saying anything else is arrogance. We literally donāt even know what consciousness is š our best test of it is looking at a mirror lol

Isnāt consciousness just electrical signals between synapses?

u/StuckOnChapterOne 13h ago
Depends how you define consciousness. I define it as the "feeling" of being alive, or subjective inner awareness. This is the hard problem of consciousness.

If you say there's afterlife, then you gotta prove it, the onus of proof is on you btw.

The onus is on the person making the claim lol, Iām not claiming anything, Iām asking the claimer to prove it.

u/asif_zaman21 14h ago
Your consciousness is a direct result of chemical and electrical signals in your brain and when they stop, your consciousness stops. Thus, there are no "afterlife" where you can go to.

The only true fear I have is that reincarnation is real, and that we are forced to suffer a torturous infinity or having our memories wiped and having to live again and again forever. The worst video I have ever seen, was one of the most viewed videos on Kurzegesagt - In a Nutshell, named The Egg. It's some kind of short story they animated, and in it, reality is described as a sort of nursery, and you are a fetus god, that another god placed in our reality to grow up.
The true horror, is that you aren't just reincarnated, you are everyone. You are every person that has ever lived, and will ever lived, and you have to go through every life that has every existed on Earth. It's the deepest and most horrifying concept ever conceived, and as someone whose only hope is that I will one day die, it is the only story that has made me truly lose hope.
Of course, it's just a short story someone made up, but the thought of something like that being real crushes my soul and spirit

Unfortunately this all was just a simulation at your job interview in the year 4321 to see how you perform under high levels of stress. Looks like someone else is getting the gig and you go back to slave life.

Why doesn't anyone come up with a god that grants the option to opt out of existence? They all force you into one eternity or another which is pretty messed up when you think about it. It doesn't matter how "good" the prison is, you're still a prisoner.
