“You” are a spirit - which kinda makes it hard to die… Your body takes a dirt nap eventually though.

John, that’s why I didn’t say “what happens to you after you die,” just “what happens.”

Elana, when you first click the link, select English from the right hand side.

After I’m dead, that pretty much ends any interest or care I might have to what’s happening after that point.
As to being a “spirit”, except for fairy tales and conjecture, there is NO proof to that fantasy, so I’ll stick to reality and make sure I get all my living done while I’m alive.

^word! Couldn’t have said it better myself.
I recently got a first hand look into the whole mortuary/undertaker business when my father died. It’s quite a facinating business though, and all respect to the people who perform those services.

Sometimes I lost the subtitles, but I just re-loaded the chapter.
Having had a death in the family this year, that was immensely creepy. I reckon it’d be creepy anyway. Good show!

Since everybody’s going to die, even you (yes you), I’m surprised at how immediately it is that people (especially those hiding behind the internet) devolve into shameful insults when it comes to talking about death, the possibility and path of an afterlife, faith systems, etc.

Well…
The original commenter didn`t discuss the POSSIBILITY of an afterlife - he asserted the fact that YOU are a spirit - an assertion that could be offensive to some people, not necessarily for its content, but for the commenter`s apparent attitude of smug superiority. -

i’m a firm atheist. i wasn’t offended, and i don’t suppose that anybody should be that easily offended unless they enjoy causing a sensation. it didn’t occur to me that the site was trying to be definitive, either. they chose to tell the story with a spiritual edge, and it was a nice narrative and provided a good amount of factual content as well. i didn’t feel preached to at all.

I found it too slow. I got bored and left.
And if ted finds John J.’s attitude to be one of “smug superiority”… I guess I need to go look up those words again. And maybe take some lessons on how to be easily offended online. Because, you know, everybody’s doin’ it nowadays…

Slow but interesting.
I guess the ’spirit’ is a translaton glitch : I watched it in French and there was no mention of it.
But maybe I could have dozed 2 mn…

Oh brother. My second comment wasn’t about the Thanatorium web site. That was just boring.
My comment (11) was directed to Carl Huber’s reaction (10) to Von Skippy’s comment (6) after John J’s comment (1).
I said “apparent attitude”, L. Some people could over-react to John’s comment in the same way that Carl over-reacted to Von Skippy’s comment. And you don’t have to look up “smugly superior” in the dictionary. Sounds like you’ve got that one well in hand.
The only thing on the web site that even came close to “spirit” was the cursor as a tiny glowing ball that you could pretend you were putting up the bums of the people in the pictures.
