Annihilationism: Encyclopedia - Anatta

The Buddhist term Anātman (Sanskrit) or Anatta (Pali) is an adjective that specifies the absence of a supposedly permanent and unchanging self or soul in any one of the psycho-physical (namo-rupa) constituents of empirical existence; eg. "none of these khandhas are my Soul, are anatta (non-Self)". What is normally thought of as the "Self" is in fact an agglomeration of constantly changing physical and mental constituents ("skandhas") which give rise to unhappiness if clung to as though this temporary assemblage formed some kin ...

Annihilationism: A Christian Theological Dictionary on Annihilationism

A Christian theological definition of Annihilationism according to CARM - The Christian Apologetics & Research Ministry:

"

Annihilationism

The teaching that when a person dies, he is annihilated, most often this doctrine is applied to the wicked, thereby negating eternal hell fire. This is contradicted by the Bible in Matt. 25:46 which says �And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.� Also, degrees of punishment will be given on the day of judgment (Rev. 20:11-15). If all, or only the wicked are annihilated, then degrees of punishment would be pointless.
