How do you cope, OT?

We all know that you think nothing happens after death or you go to heaven or hell or what have you, but that's not the question!

How do you deal with this, OT? I mean, no matter what, non-existence is scary. And hell, living forever in paradise (or hell) seems like it would be both boring and grueling.

And don't just say you've accepted it! You know there are nights where you lay in bed and start wondering. So tell me, OT, how do you get over this? What keeps you from going insane and looking for the key to everlasting life?

*Puts up flame shield* Faith and trust that there is an eternal life.

Before I get bashed, I have my beliefs, you have your beliefs. Let's keep it at that. I'm not going to try and change anyone's opinion on religion.

I just don't think about it. When I was a kid, I used to cry about that fear though :P

Oh, and bacardi and chips ahoy.

I don't know..i think about it alot..i don't really care anymore...i know when the time comes i'll probably be like "This sucks..make me live longer :cry:.." but meh..

Cookies and booze.

I don't think about it much, and when I do, I get confused and frustrated.

Beer and vanilla wafers.

The idea of everlasting life worries me more than simply dying and there being nothing.

If heaven and hell exists, I will be infinitely worried about where I will go, even though I think I've been a fairly good person.

If I just die and there's nothing afterward, there's nothing to worry about. I'll just seize to exist.

I don't really care anymore, I just want to have a good life and live happily ever after till the day I die.

[QUOTE="scorch-62"]Or you could be like me and strive for damn-near absolutely nothing! \o/3eyedrazorback

[QUOTE="xhellcatx"][QUOTE="GHlegend77"] I promise to God, Hellcat, if I could give you a massive hug, I would.GHlegend77

I'm just indifferent to it really, I rarely think deeply into it.

[QUOTE="GHlegend77"][QUOTE="xhellcatx"] ^_^ aweh!!xhellcatx

I think after I die I'll be reincarnated into someone rich and famous. Lookin forward to it!

I understand and accept now that some things (like death and God) are beyond my understanding and I wont know until I die. Either God is waiting with loving care, or the dirt is waiting, in which case no harm no foul.

When I was younger I believed in Heaven so once I found out it was all a myth I was in shock, I just could not imagine dying and then nothing... never seeing you're loved ones again, pets, doing things that make you happy but the most important thing ill miss are my memorise. If when im dead I cant have thoughts or feelings and cant look back on my life then that to me is sad because I enjoy looking back on my life, for both the good and the bad stuff.

Im just dealing with it, there is nothing I can do about it and im sure on my death bed (if I have one) ill believe in heaven before I go but what makes me sad the most is knowing my loved ones are going to die and thats it. They will never know once they die that they will never meet me again, hold me again, and laugh with me again and that makes me depressed.

[QUOTE="scorch-62"][QUOTE="3eyedrazorback"] Absolutely not. I love life. I can believe there is eternal life, but still want to live. Death frightens me. Xx_Hopeless_xX

Not exactly, but the whole setup was a bit scary.
