If there are no instructions as to how to proceed to an afterlife, and I have no idea if there is one [or, more accurately, I have no reason to believe there is one], then The Afterlife Mystery has no consequence or impact on my life [aside from spending some of my time talking to people who say there IS an afterlife and there ARE instructions and WATCH OUT if don't believe it].

I'm not sure yet.

I can't just decide to be one, obviously.

But I can - and maybe one day will - decide to declare that I am one if I realize that it is what I am.

It's a process not a decision.

What will theists make of this if it happens?

And what will atheists make of it?

Thoughts and pertinent YouTube clips welcome.

I can't go for a concept of life after death that has been conjured up by humans contemplating the human condition's navel and fretting about the infuriatingly finite nature of our fleeting lives. The concept would require a "revelation". Minimum. Sorry.

Cheer up, I think it's quite obvious he's 'taking the piss', and so you won't have to worry about it.

Don't worry about the label. Labels are prisons. Just be what you are.

I am being light-hearted about something real. But you don't have to worry about it.

You said, pertinent things, it is in my opinion pertinent. Ignore if you want, it touches on quite a bit, even things we have discussed. I don’t think you will be lulled to sleep by it.

Just asking what you expect will happen to you under the idea of deism? That would not happen if you were say, an atheist.
