Atheists & Agnostics

that makes up what we call personality dies when the brain does. I'm grateful for that, I was a nurse too long and my childhood was a shitshow and there are a lot of memories I don't want. Of course, the ego is what most people want to go on, intact. Uh, nope.

Something very profound happens in the brain after death and we have no idea what it is, electrical activity peaking, ripples of energy back and forth. This is likely responsible for the near death stories. It seems to be euphoric for most people.

No one who has experienced brain death and cessation of activity has ever come back to tell us what's in store. No one knows. It's the last adventure. My own feeling is that we ride out on a tide of happy hormones. An hour of bliss would be lovely. An eternity of it would be intensely boring.

I can tell you that if all I find is that nasty, naked Santa Claus looking man with his green eyeshade and account book, bony finger pointing the way to a hell, I will be extremely disappointed in the workings of the universe.
