Is there any reason your afterlife won't be the same as your before birth?

Nope, none at all.

A little suggestion, just in case you're worried about your 'after-life.'

I don't believe in an afterlife, thanks though, very thoughtful.

@Blake Neither do I, but there are still those who vehemently cling to the idea though.

Since absolutely NO-ONE can remember being the Womb then I think your question may be a wee bit moot.

But the religious say they know what happens after we die?

@Blake Actually they are TAUGHT to believe that BUT no-one in all truth has ever come back to tell them, not even their mythical Jeebus Chrust.

No difference for you, but hopefully those who remain among the living will remember you fondly and be happy that you lived and affected their lives in a positive way.

A goal for living one's life might be to leave the world a little better, kinder, more understanding, or more beautiful in some sense.

Although that makes the survivors more sad about your death, they should be less sad than they are happy you lived.

We should live a good life for those we care about, or at least for our own satisfaction that we are living a good life, not for the hope of some reward after death. Living a good life should be reward in itself. That's my feeling anyway.

Well, if you presume a continual existance where consciousness always survives, then one would assume you woudl have learned somethign over the course of your life, and life would have changed you.

However, one woudl have to ask does tiem exist outside of our existence and in at least a few dimensions it is suggested that it doesn't. So, in that case no there would be no difference.

The mos important question though is does it really matter? Would knowign one way or another change your daily existance? In my case the answer woudl be "no".

I have had believers ask me, what do i think happens after i die. After some thought, my best guess is it will be the same as before i lived for me.

@Blake The idea of wanting to know what comes after death, is a sign of general human curiosity. However, I find it interesting that people feel compelled to fill in the answer with myths and made upstories that have no factual basis. I think mos tpeopel are just afraid of the unknown and nto havign answers can make them nervous or insecure.

The only difference is that nobody remembers your before birth.

Try as hard as I might I can't remember my fathers' sperm meeting up with my mothers' ovum.

@Triphid Bet you can't remember anything before conception either?

@Blake Nope, not a bloody clue, how about yourself?

@Triphid Nope! I would bet money no one does.
