if you wanna know what its like to be dead think about what it was like before you were born. you cant, because there is nothing to actually think about.
what you are experiencing is called "the will to live"

A while ago death scared me, but now I seriously laugh in the face of it. Death does not bother me, I'm young, but I'm already ready to die. Whenever, I don't care. It's how I die that scares me. Getting shot in the head wouldn't be bad, drowning wouldn't be that bad eighter, but still worse. Nope, I just don't want to be tortured before I die. As long as it's quick, and somewhat painless I'm not worried.

The fact that I don't know exactly what is going to happen to me when I die, makes my life a bit more exciting. Instead of worrying and pondering over death: when it's going to happen, how it's going to happen, where we go afterwards; I just let the thought go and live my life to the fullest. The only thing I keep in mind is that I will die, it's natural and you can't stop it from happening, and since I know this, I have a better reason to do what I want in life.

There was a time when I feared death. It was a very strong fear, however, depending on your personal beliefs, could be a very easy fear to rid yourself of. I have my own ideas about the world and how it works. I don't accept any established religion. I don't know what happens when you die, but I do know what happens while you're alive. Whatever you choose.

In my opinion death is the end of a very long adventure. No matter what happens, whether there is some kind of afterlife, or there is nothing, there is only one constant, and that constant is what you choose to do with the time you DO have. If you die and there's nothing, then the point of life is to experience as much as you can while you ARE alive.

On the other hand, if there is an afterlife, the choices you made during your life determine whether you're content in the afterlife, or you go on forever with regret.

No matter what happens in death, the important thing is to live while you're here, rather than spending so much time thinking about death. You're alive. Live your life and build towards personal contentment, and you'll have nothing to fear from the afterlife, if there is one.

The thought of death depresses me since I am Athiest. I do not believe in Heaven, Hell, Purgatory, re-incarnation, or any other form of after-life.
Some nights I can't fall asleep due to the fact that I know someday that I won't
be around and there will be nothing. It's not an 'internal rest' because there is nothing.
And, when my mother dies there is no way I am going to be able to go through anymore school. Death is terrible. And the thought of death depresses, and scares me. I have actually cried before because I know that one day I am going to be a ****ing skeleton in the ground and no one will ever care that I was alive.

I don't really know how you can be afraid of death though, unless your scared of hell or something, but if your atheist, then you believe there is nothing. And that's not such a bad thought is it.

"I am going to be a ****ing skeleton in the ground and no one will ever care that I was alive."

Ok, so even if that is true, (and I highly doubt it will be unless you become a reclusive hermit) then you won't care because you wont be able to care, so what does it matter?
That's why I'm going to donate my body to science and medicine, because I don't care what happens to my body after I'm dead, because...I'll be dead...

Atheism only deals with deities, what happens after you die is a whole other cup of tea. An atheist could believe in reincarnation, wondering around aimlessly etc. and still be classified as an atheist as long as they have the assertion in the disbelieve of higher deities.

Yeah sorry,

"Some nights I can't fall asleep due to the fact that I know someday that I won't
be around and there will be nothing. It's not an 'internal rest' because there is nothing."

I was addressing his beliefs and other atheists who share them.

Well i am not to good at talking about things like this but ill give it a try. When i was younger in my early teens i used to think about death not that i wanted to kill my self i just started to think about my mortally and it started to scare me to the point where i was afraid to do any thing to make me feel alive then one day i just stopped worrying about it and learned the all living things will one day die and embrace my mortality and learned to enjoy what little time on earth we have.
I guess im trying to say death is just the last step of life so who cares what may happen when you die just make sure you live a life that makes you happy and have no regrets when your time is up.

We have only one run at this life so make it count.

I'm not scared of death at all. I think that people don't necessarily fear death itself, but what will occur after death, or what will cause death. For instance I don't fear death, but I do fear that it will be caused by something that would otherwise cause fear and pain (falling off of a high structure or getting tortured). Don't worry about what you won't be able to accomplish in your life, instead, worry about what you should do next! ^_^

Even all of the great people in History get no respect. On Martin Luther King's birthday, everyone is just happy to get off of work/school. When do you say to yourself, ''Wow, I am glad that ______ was alive.'' If you are being honest with yourself, you probably don't say it. Even I am not grateful for people that have died in the past, such as soldiers and stuff. They were strangers, you never knew them, you don't care.

While it is true that these people were strangers to us, it is still good to try and reflect upon those who died for this country. Admittedly yes, I am happy to get off school, but I still think about why we get these holidays as I'm sure many others do.

Not really, I'm afraid of dying in a horrific way. I'd prefer to be blown up or die or natural causes, anything painless will work.

When I die, I want to go out with a bang, take others out with me.
Either that or be very, very drugged up. I have never done drugs or have drinken alcohal, and I never will, but when I am about to die, I will do anything I can to take myself away from reality so I don't know I am dying.

yeah, i've been thinking about death a lot recently.
it is so scary to think about, our minds just can't comprehend the thought.
i'm afraid of it & i'm not, if you get me.
i don't want to become.. nothing, but i'm not afraid of what may lie on the other side, if there is one.
i'm trying to live life to the fullest because you never know if you'll be there the next day, so make the most out of it.

&& i agree, i want to die in a way that people will remember me.
i just don't want to die in a horrible, long, painful death.. like burning or drowning or torture..
dying like that probably frightens me most.

You make a terrific point. We never really know what our existence after death will be like, so we really should live with no regrets. It really makes you wonder.....

I need a clarification before I can adequately respond to this thread. What is your definition of death? This may sound strange, but we (mankind) really don't have a firm definition for what dying is. Is it your heart stopping? You brain ceasing to function? That which defines your personality unraveling? What everyone needs to release is that human beings are not one autonomous entity. We are a series of chemical and biological reactions occurring in concert. You can remove some of these processes and still have "life" so it is difficult to draw a line where life ends and death begins.
