Re: Continuity between life and afterlife?
[ QUOTE ]
Some recent threads about heaven/hell. But I'm not sure what continuity we're supposed to assume between earthly consciousness and eternal consciousness.
Do we still have our memories? What about the huge % of our consciousness that is composed of chemical affective states? Does it make sense to talk about emotional gratification without social conditioning and human context? Does it make sense to talk about "pleasure" without nerve endings and a functional cerebral cortex?

I would think not - I think any afterlife is non-physical and pretty much inconceivable to us.
