So, in other words, I should go out and experience life instead of wasting time watching videos on the internet?

Orazio came to the same conclusion more than 2000 years ago: Carpe Diem people! Unfortunately the church destroyed this concept, promising an imaginary eternal life in a magical place called "Heaven" if only you wasted your actual one serving and revering them... So many wasted lives! They should be tried for circumvention, mass murder and a lot of other things.

Well we know that energy cannot be lost, simply transformed. So if humans are energy, what do you propose happens when you die? Our energy or life force goes somewhere, we won't ever stop existing other than in terms of our physical presence.

  Of course when we die the energy we are made of continues to exist, the real question is what happens to our consciousness (and I'm not talking only about humans). The answer is that no one can know for sure, but I'm pretty certain it has nothing to do with the bull crap that any religion tries to sell you; those are just some fairy tales made up by some men, I find it baffling that a lot of grown adults actually believe them. I guess it has something to do with the intensive and thorough brainwashing they're put through since the very moment they're born. Personally I think that when we die our consciousness simply ceases to exist, considering it's the result of very complex electrical and biochemical signals in the brain; once that has stopped functioning, all the energy we are made of is released back in the Universe, some will be absorbed by the air, the water and the ground, and some by bacteria, maggots, and any other necrophagic animal in the surroundings. None is going to a magical, imaginary place called "Heaven", of that I'm sure. So, enjoy your life in every way possible until you have it, just respect everyone else's right to do the same!
