Serious Do you think reincarnation is real or just another cope?

[Robinxyz]

Sometimes I like to imagine that there is some kind of afterlife when we die. Although I am an atheist and have been so for years, I must admit that the idea of a life beyond death is quite comforting. I consider my life to be already over, but I would die for a second chance. If some deity offered to me a chance to be born again, with all the knowledge I have accumulated so far, I would not think twice before taking him on his offer.

I don't want to be reincarnated tbh. I won the general lottery of life in that I have comfortable living conditions. Being reborn as a Chad but in a shitty village in a shitty 3rd world country with no way out is worse imo

 

[The End]

It's an extremely ridiculous notion.

And I don't want to go on living at all. If there is an afterlife, eternal soul, etc it's basically like living forever. That would suck.

Human being are so ridiculously self-important that they really think the very fabric of reality bends for their existence.

Correct. Nobody in the cold galaxy outside of Earth wouldn't give a fuck about Chad fucking Stacies 24/7. And our suffering as well.

 

[PleaseKillMeLoseSkin]

If I thought it was real I would've suicided already tbh.

it's a cope with the fear of death just like religion

I am an agnostic deist so I am not really sure. For me the possibilities are:

1. You are reborn as an animal, human, god, ghost, etc. like in Buddhism or Hinduism
2. Everything goes black and you are no longer conscious.
3. You are reborn in an alternate universe in the body of a being who has your same DNA

If 1. I hope I'd become a breeder stallion kek.
JK, it's an unverifiable hypothesis and probably as ridiculous as heaven/hell.

cope

 

[Blackpill101]

I'm sure all of us would want to be reincarnated as Chads.

It's most probably a coper, however.

 

[TheRealChincel]

It's scarier, think about it, you could come back as anything really.

 

[Newbite]

I see no reason to believe in reincarnation

 

[caturday]

It sounds stupid, but I have a strong feeling I've already lived my life before, and I'll keep repeating it, but everytime it's gonna be slightly different.

I want to believe that when you die, you die, but what if there is no escape?

tera-cope

 

[Heightframeface]

It seems like a massive cope due to overpopulation

 

[Mainländer]

Cope. I know a lot of Kardecist spiritualists (it's a fairly popular religion in Brazil that believes in reincarnation) and I can clearly see they using it to cope with their mediocre, uneventful, toiling lives.

 

[Narazz]

I was agnostic for a bit open to both side. more religious now. too much in the way of coincidence for things to be the way they are from randomness.

 

[Deleted member 1042]

This life could be a simulation. So reincarnation can be a consequence of this. But this explanation isn’t cope. It’s more like a nightmare. We are all little toys to be fucked with for eternity.

 

[TheLivingFailure]

I hope there is no life after death.

 

[JJtheIncel]

cope but itd be nice if it was real tbh

 

[ItsOverBuddyBoyos]

Cope.

 

[Sparrow's Song]

it's a cope with the fear of death just like religion

Atman continues progression or is deranked, Jiva becomes rukh and part of the environment (non physical). Africans know all about this.

 

[Pasteleiro]

If reincarnation is real, I was probably one of the roman soldiers who raped Christ. It's the only way to explain this shitty life.

 

[CaptainCuck]

I hope I stop existing after death.

Not existing sounds scary, but when it happens I wouldn't care because I don't exist.

 

[Hunter]

im a christian but i dont even know if i would want this or not. i could be a 6'3 white, wide framed, high IQ gigachad or i could be a 5'2 autistic balding indian janitor.

 

[Henry de Montherlant]

We have such hope because we're young. Old people dying of their old age are just tired by life. They just want the peace of real plain death, they want to be erased of existence itself. I'm still too young to be appeased by the idea of my own inexistence. It's scary for most of us. But it will happen, and we have no power to stop it anyway.

 

[Flabcel Repulsive]

For several years in my twenties I used to be a hardcore atheist. This was before it was cool, btw.

Nowadays, I'd say there is at least a 50/50 chance that consciousness survives death. Doesn't mean there is a "God" or anything. You don't need a judgemental guy on a fluffy cloud to have an afterlife.

Why did I change my mind?

I find the idea of a spirit/matter dualism the simplest way to explain the existence of qualia and the Chinese Room thought experiment, and apparently, so do a couple of the brightest minds in the western world, such as David Chalmers, Stuart Hameroff and Sir Roger Penrose.

But okay, it's also a hellava lot of cope. Gigacope, actually. I admit that.

But I'm soon to be 48 and I'm an incel failure for life, doing time on the planet. What else but the possibilty of a paradisical afterlife do I have to look forward to?

im a christian but i dont even know if i would want this or not. i could be a 6'3 white, wide framed, high IQ gigachad or i could be a 5'2 autistic balding indian janitor.

Now, here's the pitch: If there is an afterlife, because it's immaterial and "manifested" by consciousness, you and the environment in which you dwell will turn into whatever you feel yourself to be.

The trick is just to stay there and not get suckered into reincarnation again.
