First off, this is intended to be completely frivolous. Let us carefully avoid any serious exploration of religion.

Second - this is not about what you believe or expect an afterlife to be, but what you would design if you had the choice.

Third - if you don't believe such things exist, that fine - but the point is not what you believe, it is what you would design if you (you, personally) had the choice.

Fourth - no, you don't get to design anyone else's afterlife. Just yours. You can design your afterlife to include friends and family, but it's purely their choice whether they wish to join you.

I'll post my own ideas after I see whether the thread gets any interest.

Pure blessful fucking death. Living forever would suck

[smallpoxgirl]

Am I god designing this afterlife to live in, or am I me designing this afterlife to sell other people on my religion?

I always thought Valhalla would be a cool afterlife!

[smallpoxgirl]

I think my ideal afterlife would be reincarnation. I enjoy my life. It definitely has it's down times, but how would you enjoy the good times otherwise? I enjoy the challenges and the story.

Heaven sounds to me absolutely dreadful. Blissed out sitting on a cloud spending eternity kissing the ass of god. Vomit!

Tell me about Valhalla.

Something similar to the current existence but with fewer mean people and less expense dairy products.

Actually, cheaper butter would probably get rid of the mean people rather quickly by itself (mean people have high blood pressure, eating lots of butter would push them into heart attack range).

So...basically the world as it is now but with free dairy from the sky.

Oblivion, pure and simple.

All I wish for is sweet oblivion after I pass away.

For those of you opting for reincarnation, all I can say is that you must never have experienced the extreme suffering that comes with mental illnesses such as bipolar disorder/severe depression/chronic insomnia etc., because if you had there would no way in hell that you would wish to even give yourselves the remotest chance at a life of such. And statistically speaking, if you were to reincarnate indefinitely you would eventually be reincarnated into an individual that was genetically susceptible to mental illness. Then the tinder would be there, waiting only for an unfortunate life event to light the match. Have you ever seen a person who doesn’t shower, doesn’t eat, can't sleep, only rocks back and forth crying incessantly whilst mumbling to themselves?

Also you could be reincarnated in zimbabwe, which in itself is a further disincentive for such

Something involving sex and fishing, but not at the same time.

[FourOfSwords]

Hunting and gathering, stalking the the green forest edges,
waiting for quarry, my senses alive.
My family and kin at home among the sedges,
all waiting for supper, my time to arrive.
Hunted and gathered, stalked by anothers sharp claws.

~ Living the life of a hunter/gatherer as all my ancestors did from time out of mind...earth resplendant with few of our species in small clans, part of the flow, living, loving, never worrying about what the next day brings...
Alex.

HHHmmm... some kind of large log cabin-type lodge in some very green foothills; a stream closeby; the ability to telepathically communicate with wildlife; the ability to speak, read and write in all known languages; a magic computer where I could look for something and only find truthful facts; family and close friends with whom I could discuss ideas, or, just sit on the wide porch silently; no time-keeping devices;
