[@nicklasveva]

You shouldn't listen to everything in the bible, because that would be stupid. But you should also listen to some things that are said in the bible, because they are worthwhile. Look up the word "Lagom". That's probably the best description of how to live your life. Not too much, not too little. Such as with the left and right. We need progression, but we also need to conserve what our ancestors have granted us.

[@Stoicsaiyan]

@@nicklasvevaactually the Bible believe it or not (I’m agnostic) makes a lot of sense in philosophical and even spiritual level. If you read the Old Testament the ancient Israelites didn’t believe In hell or heaven. They believed in Sheol which is Hebrew for death or grave. In the original Hebrew Bible heaven as a paradise is never mentioned hell as a place of eternal punishment isn’t either. Sheol was then later translated to “hell” and “hades” in the Greek and KJV versions same with Latin. The book of Matthew’s in the New Testament was also first written in Hebrew until luke and Paul and I think Peter also translated it into Greek due to ancient Israel being heavily influenced by Hellenists under Roman occupation after the Macedonians conquered Israel. Jesus also never taught in the concept of heaven or hell. He was a first century Jew and like a first century Jew he didn’t believe in an afterlife. He believed once you died your dead. The Jews till this day are pretty vague and nihilist when it comes to the afterlife. Jesus also never went to “hell” and preached. He was in the grave “Sheol” until god resurrected him. So according to the Bible it’s pretty accurate on the afterlife. There isn’t one. Only death. It’s not when I’m the second coming of Jesus when everyone who died even those who drowned in the sea and were mutilated by beasts will be resurrected and judged and live in “paradise” here on earth for eternity.

I don’t have any personal experiences of “being excited” for heaven myself, but just before my grandma passed away on hospice, she told us how she was excited to see her mommy and daddy again. Like a little kid who had just been away at camp for a week. It seems like a lot of people have this eerie calm and acceptance just before it happens and it’s honestly made me feel slightly better about it.

[@ScareTheater]

That's such an interesting experience. I'm happy she passed peacefully.

[@steffymuze]

When my ex passed many years ago, very suddenly (aneurysm) he stopped what he was doing, looked up right as it was happening (he died in my arms) and idk what he saw, but I know it was peaceful and I am positive he saw someone he knew. Both his parents (had) already passed and one from the same thing, I found out later. That experience always helped me, even in times of unexpected trauma. Something is there. Whether our brains or something else idk...

[@FIRE-LOTUS]

My mom was experiencing terrible stomach cancer and just days before she passed, she couldn't wait to die and go to heaven, Which is not something I ever heard my mom ever wanted or say but she is religious which makes sense. She believed in the afterlife in heaven, and while she was suffering through cancer which I can imagine has been a painful hell only exasperated the decision to leave even more. I personally not sure what will happen when we die. Maybe there is a heaven and a hell or maybe it's just a dark black void forever, or maybe there is another calming, drifting experience into the stars or some new life as a ghost/spirit, or perhaps reincarnation and return to life in another body and mind. It's scary, there is nothing certain and death in itself and the purpose of life is very mysterious. I only hope that when we die that it isn't scary or completely nothing. My currently belief for now is that when we do pass, it's all black and nothing. A permanent void of floating in nothing space to sleep forever. But I seriously hope that I am wrong on that.

[@samanthalechat]

That is such a sweet story to share, thank you. I really liked the way you phrased that like a kid away at camp. That's a very nice and soothing way to look at it. Especially as you lose so many over the years and just want to be with them again.

I know that if I were to end my own pain, my family will suffer, which is also why I can't escape the pain. So I stay so that they can at least not have that pain in their hearts. I try to be there for others when they are hurting too.

I heard somewhere that since you can't experience non-existence you actually exist forever, assuming that the time and universe is in fact infinite. After an infinite amount of time all the atoms that you were made out off and of everything that ever was there have to at some point get back together, even if that moment will happen after an infinite amount of time. And since you can't experience not existing it's kinda lika a cut out section where you instantly get back to the existence again. Idk maybe that's not how it works but this idea is kinda comforting to me lol

Hmm ok but how exactly since your body is dead? Is this a form of reincarnation in a way?

[@dendziem]

@@CyberWarezz05 Yeah I simplified that a lot lol. It’s more that your next experience is the first one that will be possible. An infinite amount of time will pass and you will only experience the next moment that’s possible as you can’t experience time passing while you don’t exist. Given an infinite amount of time, there are infinite chances for you to return to your original state. It’s just probability stuff tho so I know this concept has a lot of holes

[@gintorino4616]

​@@dendziemso are you saying all of our atoms and molecules will realign after say 1 trillion years?. From what i know and heard scientists say that our consciousness is the only reason we exist you can lose your heart, lliver, kidneys and lungs but still survive as long as your brain is protected. Thats where our memories are and our moral thinking and choice making lie. The brain has electrical currents that keep us stable. I faced a extreme existential crisis in 2021 after watching the KZbin Channel Mythvision and i would not wish that on anyone.

[@beckoning-chasm]

I enjoyed this, it's thoughtful and interesting. I like the fact that you will sometimes do these sorts of videos, rather than the typical videos found on other "scary" channels, which are basically "Here's some people who claim they saw Bigfoot, ooo, spooky."

[@Juggler1525]

I've found that the concept of death was a dark cliff side we're constantly walking toward, but backward. Once taking that plunge, the light fades, and yet it's the only fall that doesn't end in a crash. It doesn't end any way. The concept, the basic understanding of falling, darkness, life, and death become inaccessible. But in that placid darkness, fear also doesn't exist, no pain, agony, no stresses from your life can follow. No registration of anything, no ability to mourn, regret, hope, or wonder. In the last seconds of your ability to wonder, fear, love, and imagine, you'll be freer than you ever have been. What's it like? Much like going to sleep. You're not concisous of the moment you finally nod off. The world becomes undetected for the briefest of moments, and you aren't dreaming. There's no guarantee you'll wake, you may not, but that doesn't scare you. You're just going to sleep. What's beyond life? No one knows, no one can know. Anyone who says they know only hope they do, only hope it's true. It's a sleep, and perhaps, perchance, there are dreams to be had that are more than our material universe. The one thing we know, or can say for certain, that happens when we die is...the ones who love us...will miss us.

[@Freak80MC]

This is a great comment. Reminds me of the quote from Jacob's Ladder: "But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the earth" Also weirdly enough sometimes I do actually get scared right before sleep. Knowing I can't experience that transition into sleep, it's unknowable what it's like to fall asleep. How my brain probably has to do a bunch of complicated things to be able to get into sleep mode and then wake me up after a few hours. What if it fails? What if something goes wrong? But it never does, I always wake back up. It's kinda terrifying in a way, an unknowable experience that my life depends on. Yet I look forward to this rejuvenation every night. Maybe that's also what death is like. A rejuvenation and freedom from life.

[@sanity_sadness4669]

I See death in a different way, but I still agree with you. How I see death is, everything we feel, see.. everything, is just chemical reactions in our brain reacting to make us feel emotions. There’s things in our body that make us alive. We are like animals biologically. When you die, those stop. Without those chemical reactions, you can’t think. I think death is just the absence of everything, your body is disconnected and everything goes blank. When a bug dies, the same thing happens. You don’t question where the bug goes when it’s dead, it’s just gone. You can’t think with the lack of a body and brain. I think this is comforting to me, even though it is the end, because with even with the lack of sense, the lack of everything after death, it doesn’t mean you can’t lead a meaningful life. It doesn’t mean you can’t change. It’s comforting because.. even when you’re gone you can still rest. Even with the lack of everything, there is peace.

[@mtamer2943]

Just as life is not improbable on the right conditions such as earth's - your self aware consciousness existence is already evidence that you are a part of reality and the universe, and therefore the odds of -you- happening again rather than just a one off spontaneous event in the string of infinity is way higher. Mark Twain's famous before birth quote is misguided and even non-scientific.@@ScareTheater

If life means nothing, why not there be love is kind of the motto I've, whether intentional or not, lived by almost my entire life. I'm selfless to a point of it negatively impacting my life because I know I'm not happy and haven't been in 15+ years, so why not make somebody else happy?

[@dOlli3cOutur3]

I try to be a good person, not for the benefits of what comes after death but because it’s the right thing to do.

[@DiamondWorldYoutube]

In Christianity according to the Bible there is no thing as a "good person". We all deserve to be in spiritual death over any sin. But having Jesus in people saves them from that persecution if we try to be like Him and not be in constant sin. I'm not condemning you I'm just telling you what would happen if God existed

[@dynastywarriorlord07]

But doesn't this prove that there is objective morality?

[@FideiDefensor1970]

"the right thing to do" is totally subjective and varies from person to person. Thats the sad truth of Nihilism. The right thing, or "good" does not exist.

[@tb145h-skull7]

That last line really stood out to me. In a sense the game does have a point. There's no reason to be hateful unless something broke in you then I don't blame you for being the way they are. Sometime we're all dealt with bad cards and our first instinct is to hate back at the world for it but it doesn't always have to be this way. I believe that people can learn to put their indifferent aside and learn to make peace with our demons, I believe there are plenty of good, caring people but we never see them behind all the negativity. However deep down as childish as it sounds. I hope that someday someone can reunited those people into one collaborative community against the negativity in the world. That someday. I could be living among such a charitable and caring community. A thought like that is really comforting for me. As Bertrand Russell once said. "Love is wise and hatred is foolish."

Since I was an atheist, I didn't have a God I could pray, but ironically, I was terribly afraid of non existing/the void.

[@nicksherman6503]

I think this is a testament to how far astray organized religion has gone. I have recently rediscovered religion, and I agree with the moral of this story, but I also feel like that is the true message of Christ. The goal is to seek not just any kingdom, but the heavenly kingdom, and to make life here on Earth as it is in heaven. The moral is that through love, we can participate in the heavenly kingdom. It's not "behave so you go to heaven when you die", it's if we all could learn to love our neighbors and existence itself, then we would be in paradise.

Well, that's the thing, your memories and thoughts do disappear. You don't remember everything and every thought you had yesterday, or even 10 minutes ago. Even if you make a note in your head "I will remember this moment" the moment you remember won't be complete. Something will be missing.

Your consciousness, along with everyone (and everything) else's, is simply a result of memory. When the brain dies, all memories die with it through the loss of neural connections. That is simply the way it has always been.

I always found this interesting because I've seen people say they were someone else in a past life before they were born, and I have had this experience as well before I was truly born. Though, I always hear about this eternal slumber idea that you'll forget about everything (the Bible puts a twist on this funny enough, acknowledging that you do lose consciousness before the 2nd coming). But idk, I always felt like I was someone else before I was born, coming from a Christian myself. 😬

No. I was terrified of it for years. And anything to do with the world ending (which is basically what the rapture is) absolutely petrified me. I only stopped worrying when I realized the world didn't end in 2012 and all this world ending was BS. But that took about 20 years to let that fear go.

I grew up Catholic which pushed me away from religion. When I got to my teens I realized I am a very logical person. I grew very interested in science and the universe. I was convinced there was no afterlife and no God because I thought I knew enough about the universe and as a species we had outgrown religion. I later realized that the only reason I believed that was because of how little I knew about the bible. I believed what the world had told me that science and the bible could not coexist which is far from the truth. When I started to read the bible I was suprised to find out that everything we know about the world doesnt contradict anything the bible tells us. My biggest realization was that it takes much more faith to believe there is no creator. I used to have trouble sleeping I was only sleeping like 3 to 5 hours a day, constantly anxious, and stressed out all the time. My life has improved 100% by accepting Jesus and if anyone has the same issue I encourage you to look for the truth yourself. If you look for it with an honest heart you will find it!

[@megabromure]

I really remember when I realised that death was inevitable. I was 10, in the London tub, and I never had a day without an existential crisis since. I grew up in a Catholic family so I should have known there would be an heaven but I couldn't be sur and it was killing me. Once in the army I asked our priest about the possibility of no heaven or hell after death, what if there is nothing. He then told me that is probably what awaits us. I was speechless. He then told me that hell is living a life knowing it will end and that nothing will matter in the end. Heaven is enjoying life knowing it won't last eternally. So yeah, I don't know where they find their priests in the army but they are a special kind of wonderful people. Love each other, find joy in little things, pet your cat, take care of you and your loved one. It's hard to know it will end but that doesn't mean you shouldn't enjoy the ride.

[@crenshaw46]

Coming to terms that we will most likely forget ALL of this when we die was one of the hardest things I had to overcome. But then it dawned on me.

[@HealingSpectrumIntuition]

I’m still a Christian but I broke away from organized religion for a variety reasons. The biggest two being: I was constantly asked to give money to pastors with the promises that I would be blessed with more money. That never happened. The second reason being that a Christian organization refused to give me a job because I was Baptist instead of Catholic. While I still love The Lord, I don’t go to Church, listen to pastors preach something I’ve already read cover to cover and I no longer give my money to charities since I know it isn’t going where it’s supposed to go. I follow a more natural, in touch with the Earth, spiritual path as I believe God created us to love and be free.

At least the other pastors typically say: “Give what you can.” He would ask for insane amounts of money in exchange for blessings that never came or some dollar store trinket that he claimed was holy.

I don't usually write YT comments anymore since I tend to turn off my brain in this site haha, but this video does the opposite of that. It's kind of a creepy coincidence that you just happened to upload about this topic during a period of my life in which existential crises plague me daily, and I actually avoided this video until I was more mentally put together. About my thoughts on heaven, it was actually the opposite of yours, where instead of getting excited over the concept of eternal paradise, I dreaded it. I remember this was one of the early reasons to why I started distancing myself from religion, because for some reason child me disliked the concept of living forever. Whenever it be burning in hell or celebrating in the skies, it seemed exhausting. Even now I guess it's created a rift for my feelings on death, because on one hand I am comforted that one day I will be set free of everything, like a dreamless slumber, but on the other hand I am pretty bummed out that everything I've accomplished will eventually be forgotten.

Ive been struggling a ton with my mortality lately, especially after being pregnant. I’m very afraid of death (which is ironic because i used to be very suicidal). I was also raised Christian and it actually scared me a lot when I was young. I didn’t understand heaven, how could so so many people be there? Did dead animals go? Plants? Bugs? What decides if something is alive enough to go? Did “bad” dogs go? I believe it really started my anxiety disorder. Hell scared me even more. As a kid I would have really horrid nightmares about satan torturing me, or my mother who was an addict.

Great video but something I feel that this game doesn't touch upon is how you can have both good endings. If there's an afterlife that people believe in, good things can be done and people can go to heaven.

The levels are all structured as puzzles and you have to bring all the shapes to the end point. Edit to add: 13:21 reminds me of a song I use to sing when I was younger. It was titled "Live Alone" by Japanese Artist Kokia. "澄み渡る青い空にただ一つ信じたい 愛は地球を救うのかな" (I believe in one thing and that's the clear blue sky I wonder if Love can save the earth).

After some time me and my mom were walking on the road and i mentionend the conversation, she said that after death you go to heaven, and my brain thought "no mom thats not true".

Will something or someone tell me and comfort me that there is actually something after death? Is reincarnation a thing maybe? Are the choices i make good or bad? Does it matter at the end? ...

I don’t know if this story will interest anyone but it was a pivotal moment in my life. I was raised in a split home. My fathers side severely catholic and my mothers side Christian. I don’t feel like getting into how much that messed with me as a kid but I can tell you that I believed in god. With my soul and heart I believe in god, even as a kid I was excited to die so I can meet him. When I started to get into my late teens I was taking classes about mythology and religion and I slowly started to question my faith, but it scared me due to consequences of this. So I shoved it down. My friends were outcast and we were all in that drug experimental phase. They were all atheist besides one was catholic, we would occasionally smoke weed and get into a discussion/argument about our beliefs and again I started to question it more. Around this time my grandma disowned my brother due to him coming out for being gay. This made me really question gods presence/love. It made me angry but again I stuffed it. Then I stuffed it again and again. Tell one night I tried LSD. I was having this mental/ego breakdown battling the concept of god. Then out of no where I turned to my friend and said “God isn’t real and if he is his love is tainted; it’s not real nor is it genuine. His love has guidelines and conditions. I’ve never felt unconditional love and he never gave that to us. I don’t want him in my life anymore” then I instantly bursted into tears. It was scary and hard for me to admit I lose faith and it was hard for me to realize religion failed me. As an adult now I don’t necessarily believe in god, I think there’s a possibility but I can promise you what I don’t believe in is religion. I had to find unconditional love for myself and it was the hardest thing for me to do and still is.

[@Whatlander]

Honestly, in Synagogue I was taught that it's more important to live a good life while you're on Earth. No threat of punishment, and since the afterlife is for everyone, it's more an inevitability than a reward to devote your life to. I kind of vibe with the game's third ending, where you work to do good for others' sake. (Tikkun Olam, baybee) (There's also a tiered ranking system for good deeds, based on the effort and intention behind your actions, which always fascinated me as a concept.) TL;DR, this feels like yet another horror thing that hinges on a cultural background I don't have. Like, there's an alarming amount of horror rooted in Christian trauma.

[@Whatlander]

BTW I did not intend this to be some weird flex. Judaism has a 24/7 undercurrent of guilt and dread right out the box. The prompt to reflect on childhood experiences with conceptualizing mortality (but Christian style) made me feel like an outsider to the conversation, so I just rambled what I remember. Also now I feel guilty for every time I've been annoyed that horror media is so Church-centric. It's terrifying how widespread this specific variety of fear and hurt is.

It was the idea that these people were slated to spend the rest of eternity in agony, with no hope of changing this fate. Even at a young age, I always believed strongly in redemption. I would like to believe in the capacity for even the worst person to change. So, the idea that once you go to hell, you no longer have the chance to change your ways, and you'll suffer forever, weighed heavily on me.
