Thoughts on reincarnation

[Tolgrim]

It's a thought but it still sounds like a very far stretch to me. Just enjoy and live life. I find that worrying about whether or not I'm going to hell or where I'll go when I die just makes me miserable. But it is fun to ponder on. I personally believe when we die. Well, we die. There's nothing more. Once the brain dies so does our consciousness. Just like before we were born.

The human soul and by extension the afterlife are fictional constructs of our fragile human ego's inability to process the fact that we just aren't as important as we think we are. We came from nothing and will become nothing.

Quite literally, YOLO.

In order to assert this claim, you must have already experienced death firsthand, and have been reborn retaining previous consciousness, thus proving the existence of souls and a world aside from this one while denying it exists.

The same can be said of any belief regarding an afterlife. What's your point?
