People may deny it all they want, but I'm pretty sure everyone's afraid of death. Of course, it may cross one's mind and they may think, "Yeah, death doesn't seem all that bad." But if that person were to be in the process of dying, whether it be quick, like blood loss, or slow, like cancer, they'd probably be thinking or saying, "I don't wanna die!!11 D:"
With that said. I'd like to talk to someone that died during an emergency operation, and then revived. They'd probably have some sort of knowledge of what they were doing when they were dead. If they don't have this knowledge, then all the people say that death is blank, they're probably the most accurate.

Assuming that time is infinite, and consciousness would return to you when the exact order of atoms were to reform themselves, then reincarnation is completely true. Since we are talking about an infinite timeline, anything that can happen will happen - and infinite times. This means that sometime, likely after an unfathomable amount of years, an exact duplicate of your body will form somewhere and your consciousness will be placed in it. After you die, you wait that ridiculously long wait again, and then you will be placed in it. However, this brings forth an interesting question... what happens when two exact copies of one body exist at the same time? You may say "oh that's never going to happen", but if time is infinite, it will. WHAT THEN?

You are thinking from your own percpective, think generally. Not scary It is as if there is a cloud, and than an hour later there is no cloud. Big whoop right? Same thing with lives, although your life means something to other people. |

I took the time reading the entire thread, because I am fond of these kinds of discussions, especially excluding silly people who don't take it seriously.
I agree with a few people here. Most of all, I agree with Shash's theory of reincarnation. Basically, what he said was just as good of a belief as any other argument i've heard on the topic. To add (this is kind of off-topic, but not really), when I was in my young years (around my first year when I began to talk as a young child), my parents would walk me along in the street, and I would name the model of every car that we passed. Mind you, I was only beginning to communicate verbally, but I was already naming car models right and left. My parents contacted a research facility, where they were told that "... We have to look at it from a reincarnation point of view, because there's no other explanation as to how your son can possibly know this..." However, my parents were not satisfied, but they left it and just continued to be amazed at how a small child does not know to multiply but knows mostly every car model he sees. What amazes me most, is that when I walk in the street today, I don't know a single car model. What's the reasonable explanation here? |

i disagree with the idea of eternity being a good thing. sure, you'd be healthy forever, there would be no problems, and all that jazz, but apart from not being able to be with your living loved ones, the afterlife would be boring as hell. think about it; tenthousand years after you die, you get a paper cut from something (assuming there will be paper) and you don't feel a thing. it heals automatically. unless of course there is absolutely nothing you could hurt yourself on, in which case it would be boring asyway because there would be nothing but clouds (even that) and other souls. you'd be left with an eternity of nothing to do besides be dead with other people. that would be the reason why i don't really like the idea of heaven. it's too perfect for me. (not bashing you lovely Christians out there! if that's your idea, go for it.) |

lol as a christian Ive thought that before, but as humans we could never truly grasp the concept of eternity I dont think so its hard to imagine being in eternity and never getting bored
But in the biblical heaven, there is only joy. Therefore there is no boredom...you cant be bored, because your joyful. And you cant get bored of being joyful, because that would be unjoyful, and you cant be unjoyful... |

It says somewhere in the bible I think, that you just worship God for eternity... And I from some of the Godly raves that I've been too that that is pretty sweet. And you think it might get boring after 10,000 years... well it doesn't...because there is no boredom in heaven, only joy :P

One thing ive learned is that there is no reason to fear death because its going to happen whether you like it or not. What you should primarily be concerned about is how you spend your time here alive.
Everyone has their own idea about what happens in the afterlife or if there even is one for that matter. Its pointless to argue about it because no one can prove anything, and why would it matter if you were right anyway? The only reason to know what happens after death is to know how righteously or unrighteously to live your life. The pure and simple fact is that no matter what happens, we should still be kind and live our life to its fullest by enjoying it and by helping others enjoy it by your attitude (and/or service to them). |

For me,
I am afraid of dying before i get old. This is my only fear in the death topic for me because when i get old i will be like...ok im old now i've done all this really awsome stuff now and there are no "what could have been" things still lying around. mkay, have a great day. p.s. I only read first two pages so don't hate on me if topic went in a different direction... |

I haven't read a single damn post in this thread <3
So I'll just say this. Do you know how life was before you were born? All those years passed and you just kinda weren't there? I assume that's what happens when you die. It just isn't there anymore. I wouldn't worry about it. There's no need to worry about something you have no control over. I believe in heaven and hell as just being things that people say to try to make life better for the nicer people and to scare the not-so-nice people. If anything, I believe you just reincarnate. With your memory gone, of course. Also, I'm not terribly afraid of death because I think it'd be much nicer to do nothing all of the time rather than work most of your life. If you no longer feel the need to do anything, things are much better. Last edited by ToshX; 01-6-2007 at 10:34 PM.. |

I don't fear death at all if I think that my thought and all perception will cease to exist when I'm dead. If it's any other way though, I don't really look forward to it.

In any case, the most pointless thing to do in life is to sit there and be scared of death because its coming no matter what. You might as well just accept the fact that eventually you are going to die so you should use the time you have to your best benefit. |

I agree slipstrike. Have fun with the time that is given to you. If all you do is fear death you'll be paranoied for the rest of your life.

well, replying with the thread name....
The way i see it is, since we have no(how do i put this...) recollection of the past, when we aren't born yet or in better terms, not alive, you never feel or see anything at all. So why would dying, or again, cease to exist, why wouln't it be any different then before you were born. So, in conclusion, my opinion would be that there would be black and no rememberance of anything for all eternity. --simulater

I don't believe in a heaven or a hell. I believe once we die, we die. We have one life. We are just another species of animals, and if they don't go to some special place then neither do I. Therefore, my life is precious and I will live it as far as I see fit.
But does death scare me? It depends. What scares me more than death is living to a point where I can't make my own decisions anymore. Basically, if you notice people sometimes live to a point that takes them back to childhood, and I don't mean that in a positive way. Living seems a little scarier at that point. Anyway I'm wandering off topic. No I'm not afraid of death...assuming I am not being tortured and violated in the process. I love life, but at the same time it could end at any moment. It will end at some point. I realize that, and I accept it. Last edited by Rubin0; 01-19-2007 at 02:17 AM.. Reason: full of typos |
