You're thinking of instant death. Not everyone dies instantly. What if you were raped and tortured by 5 burly men? At the end of the raping and torturing, they decide to drown you, to a slow, agonizing death. That would be pretty traumatic. If you have a mind when you're a spirit, you would remember what just happened and think, "holy # that sucked."
But, if you don't have a spirit, then you wouldn't worry about it because you'd just be dead.

Yes, trying to gain intel. Trying to find truth. I ask questions to those who act as if they have truth.

That's so cute, the way you wrote that, and posed your questions to our friend.
Thank you, for being like that, and shifting your tone ever so slightly. You are becoming more likeable by the post.
What are you trying to gain intel, to become a dragon rider yourself in the next life?

Um, I have a question (tentatively raises hand)..
If these dragons can only reincarnate as more dragons, how is it that yours in particular became a blue whale on earth.
And why do the greys keep abducting and experimenting on and terrorize good, decent people, and why would you work with and for such a-holes?
This is fun, and I thought the thread had come to an end..

Not according to quantum reality and a monistic idealism framework, where consciousness is primary at the very ground of all being, and becoming. What we observe, what we think, believe, how we judge, and the content of our mind, and our innermost self and it's qualia does determine reality to a very large degree, if not entirely. Now, therefore is the time to re-evaluate, if there ever was one thus the word "dire" in the title..

Isn't Ricky Gervais writing a comedy based on an atheist who dies and goes to Heaven and realises he was wrong?
Anyway, I don't think atheist would be too devastated if it were indeed true because it would be a welcome revelation I'd imagine. All the worries about dying and just being in the ground eased in a moment.
Then there would be the majority of ATS members (atheist or otherwise) who would more than likely argue that it was all a government psy-op or that the pesky Israelis are behind it all.

But what if the atheist ends up in hell?

On a more positive note, there are many prior atheists with positive NDE's and between life memories and experiences.

So you are also saying that, lets say a hermit, who simply was never taught about any religion, but lived a good honest life anyway? Does he go to hell or heaven too?
I bet you know many agnostic and even some athiests, would subscribe to a religion if there was only one to choose from, one holy book and one type of church.
The very fact theres a baffling array of religions may make it hard to choose one, however the very fact every culture has one, is certinly interesting. This is my main reason for being agnostic rather than full athiest, just leaving room for more evidence in the future rather than drawing a big line in the sand right now.

I'm writing a fantasy story about Elves, and dragons, etc. Just something for my kids to have, so they can see what lives in my imagination, lol. My dragons don't breathe fire though, they spew an acidic substance which seems more realistic, since some reptiles can spew poison onto their prey. I mean fire? How can a creature breathe out fire? Could you explain that, since your dragons do?
