I am a Christian but an open minded and often stoned one.
From time to time I find it necessary to contemplate the opposite of my assumptions of what happens after I die. And I was thinking of a sort-of-hopeful scenario for atheists who wish to live again. And while contemplating the possibilities one logical (and hopefully original) conclusion manifested itself in my THC soaked brain. And it is this:
When you think of the word supernatural we think of miracles and things of the impossible occurring. But how do you define supernatural? Tell someone a mere 100 years ago that in a century people will be able to go to the moon, move information effortlessly thousands of miles instantly, and create photo realistic images of other worlds and realities. Would they think this is not only impossible but maybe supernatural? I mean this person would only know cold primitive steel and wood everything, it would be hard for them to even imagine something like that. And this is only a hundred years ago. So now, imagine how this world might be (if we do not nuke the shit out it) in 1000 years? I mean right now, your craziest imagination cannot fathom what will be possible, new words will exist, physical laws, etc. And this is where I drew my conclusion from.
What if when you die, you experience what seems to be a brief moment of nothing, just as if you had passed out. Then after this brief moment of nothing you awake, in a future where the technology to bring back people is readily possible. Now, I mean, a future so advanced that if it were explained to us (the technology) we could never understand it as we stand now. And this makes sense because describing a cell phones technology would befuddle anyone born in the 1700's. Even now, humanity cherishes life and more importantly youth. Technologies are already here that can replace various human parts imagine these technologies in a thousand years. We would be gearing ourselves to not only achieve immortality but to create it.
