We respawn five seconds later--sometimes longer if your teammate is in combat.



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

Seeing as space and time are unified. Once something exists on a technical level it will always exist. Having a very limited perspective doesn't mean that the entirety of existence isn't a whole. So yes everyone is immortal just not necessarily in the sense they may like. Beyond that I am not sure I would want to continue forward with conscious existence. Based upon this life it isn't inconceivable that another plane of existence couldn't in fact be much worse.

Before I continue forward I want to warn some here that the following can cause a crisis of faith. I am not talking about a avoidable hell. Which in itself is a sick fucking idea. I am talking about the depth of time. Even if a afterlife was initially pleasant it might actually be unsustainable. While time may well be infinite rest assured that the available stimuli is most certainly not. Eventually you will run out of things to do, and have forever to dwell upon that fact. So if a eternal afterlife is true it could actually be the stuff of horrible nightmares. Those that are dead may end up with a strong wish that death had been permanent.

All of this before you consider an equally unsavory notion. What if a afterlife isn't eternal, but constrained to the life span of the cosmos. Most conjectures hold that the Universe is just going to fizzle out. All of the Universe is going to freeze out, and all the matter will decay into nothingness. You could just end up trading a short span of time to dwell upon your demise. For a unavoidable fate that will be a long time coming. We all know how the threat of death consumes us in this life. Imagine having to stare that down for trillions of years, but as I said in the previous paragraph. On the upside by the time that came you would probably be overjoyed.

Anyway you should look at the prospect of a afterlife with equal parts hope and abject terror.

Im under the impression that as soon as you are dead, you take a quick recap of everyone you care about and everything is forgiven. Tormented souls on earth might go to a certain hell immediately, but I think normal people would be blessed with all their pain removed.

What happens after that, no one knows. Not sure of heaven or hell in their popular forms (Paradise/Fire)

I don't think it is possible for us to comprehend the state of being dead, because, well, we're alive :P

But my theory is it feels like being asleep, without the dreams. I also believe reincarnation could be real.



i am going to find out in 35 years.



I see no reason to think that my consciousness will continue to exist after I die. I think its most likely that once I die I will cease to exist ("I" meaning the seemingly emergent "mind" if you will that arises from the mental processes within my brain). All of the atoms will then be consumed by other organism etc and move around the universe as they did before I was alive.
