i made a small post in the other thread, and decided to make my own on this...

assuming you don't go to heaven and you just "die" if you will is probably the scariest thing i can think of. being alive and well one minute, and then dead the next is insane. i can't grasp how insane that is, you are just not there for the rest of forever. you are fucking dead, this is the ONLY thing that still gives me some hope in god. i get freaked out when i think about it really. i just cannot imagine not thinking anything it makes me sick. i will be fucking dead, nothing to think or do. that makes me hope in some type of afterlife...idk why i made this now that i typed it, i should probably erase it but oh fucking well

A man was revived after being dead in freezing water for 2 hours and being without oxygen for an hour of that (EMS performed artificial respiration for the last hour). How the man is alive has baffled scientists and doctors alike because his brain should have been mush. ANYWAYS the first thing the man told people is to not be afraid of dieing, it is a peaceful experience, he did not allude to anything else that happened within his hour of being clinically dead.


Statements like this make me fear death less and less even though the after death experience is still mind blowing and impossible to figure out.

sure it scares you now, but when it happens, you won't be aware of it at all. it's extremely hard for us to perceive because everything we have ever known is based on something, so the concept of absolutely nothing is completely beyond us.

sometimes I wish there were no heaven. other times I wish there is. Dying should be a win win for me. I can die and just not have to deal with all the bullshit and be gone forever hopefully remembered, or go to heaven and do whatever, and I guess there is a possibility of hell but I really don't think that God would punish people as long as they were ok people.

I'm terrified of dying only because there are so many things I want to do. That's why I don't go to church. Every time I go I realize, I'm going to die. There's nothing you can do to stop it.

but once you accept that then you dont have to fear it anymore, not with any religious connentation just once you accept that you will die one day it is better than worrying all the time.

i like to think that death will be like dreaming forever,

but i dunno, thats me just being optomistic, it kinda just sucks to think about dying and that just being it, youre a stiff six feet under and youre body just rots while youre mind is just shut off like a computer during a power outage

When you die, all your organs shut down, even your brain. Its like passing out and never awakening. There is no fear or pain, and when your dead, you wont even know

you are completly missing the point that you are trying to get across.  you are like you wont be able to think or do anything.  you will just be gone. 
well its not like you will still be in human form and just sitting in a blank room.  you just simply wont exsist.  end of story.  you wont even be able to think that you are bored you just arent there. like before you were born.  just not there

this is for you aitheists. 


if you believe in God like i do, then you know differently

yee, i think it would be neat because ive read user reports where after taking shrooms or w/e people have been able to come to terms with their death and all of the world around them. also death really isnt something to be afraid of once your dead and gone its over.

but heres my question? sure your SOUL MAY go to heaven but will you know that i doubt it?

I mean, nobody's ever lived to tell the tale so we will never know. The end.

You only live once so you might as well try new things every day.

we all die at a certain point and dying dosnt really scare me.
I dont wanna die right now and I want to be alive as long as possible.
I believe that once your dead, you're not the one who's hurt, it's the other ones around you that will suffer from your lost.

I,m not saying that you should live for others at all. I just think that you should be afraid of dying so you dont left people around you in pain.

that prolly didnt make sense, I'm having difficulties explaining myself in english on that matter.

I know once I die it will be over and it will be peaceful.

Only two things scare me. Having a painful frightening death and the thought of dying before my time. I can't think too long about what my family would go through. Noone should have to.

what if death is painful? I dont mean like the process of dying, but actually being dead what if its actually physically painful in some sense.  Iknow how everyone says that your nothing when your dead, but what if the human mind just cant grasp the fact that it could hurt?

If you believe in a religion dont read the following, and if you do dont quote me because im not trying to start a fight im just saying.


I think the only reason people believe in religions and warshop gods is because of exactly what you said. They are scared of not living after life.  Just think if their was no heaven i doubt any one would believe in god.  Ive never really believed in god but untill i can be proved their actually isent one i will remain optomistic.  I care more about my life on earth than after life.   We have prooved a lot of things that say no god exists, so i think its a bit far out my self.

I don't want there to be "nothing" when I'm gone. I'm happy. I love my life. I don't want it to be like before I was born..just nothing..I can't even grasp that. Having everything..then just...nothing.. It's impossible to comprehend.. I do find it comforting, however, to believe that there's some sort of..place..I'll be when I'm gone, with the people I love. I hope. But that's just me.

yah i dont think about it too hard cause then i cant sleep. but when i do i imagine just falling in nothing. for some reason i see death as falling perpetually in a lightless vaccuum.

having faith is completely idiotic?? you sir have a beef with a lot of people then.
and you really don't have a grasp with opinions. someone's opinion cannot be idiotic. they can be different than yours, but not wrong. i can't believe someone old enough to read is saying this.

I thought of this when I was like 8, and then I went to a christan camp for two days (it was a week long, but i got my mom to pick me up early) cuz it scared the crap out of me so much, at that point I couldint talk to super christan preacher people and I had one of the most crazy, finding self, summers possible. and that was like at the age of 9...
its a crazy topic to think about and it can get you thinking really hard, no matter what age... I dont believe in god so much at all, but more so reincarnation, I know thats not spelt properly at all....
whats the point in dying and going to hevan for the rest of forever? no matter how nice it is id get sick of it unless I found out some intence info that didint make me feel useless in a place where everything was perfect.

sorry for tripple posting but i know exactly what you mean like what will you be when you die? if you cant think than what will happen to your mind, its hard to realise that it will just end because weve never felt anything like it before.

not to insult anyones religion, but people need to realize that when you die you just rot in the ground. you do not think or feel or anything. the reason people believe in afterlife is because living humans have no capability of imagining what its like to be dead, because it does not exist.
