It would be like torture. Ex. Getting hit by a car. You won't die, even with your insides and stuff all over the pavement,

I had a period where I obsessed over death constantly. This stemmed from a 'trip' where I saw myself dying and left in this empty eternity. I thought about the horros of this and it used to effect my life. Then, I had a talk wiht my friend, who I found out also had a similar obsession. He told me about death being neither a bad nor good thing. Let it just come, and when it happens you'll be in a state like a fetus. And kind of like a fetus, something may happen like birth, and since there was no existence you wouldn't know how long that state lasted for. It's best to just live life how you want lo live it, and what ever happens happens. There isn't anything we could do about it, just enjoy the gift of existence while it lasts!

Theres nothing to guarrantee life after death will be pleasant. I would like a guarrantee that nothing happens after death but life seems too complex for it to be as simple as that.

Why should I be scared of death?

I'll be dead when it happens, so I've got nothing to worry about.

But your not 100% sure nothing will happen. Unless your 100% sure,then you assume the worst.

You're never going to get that garauntee. Keep looking, and if you do find answers, you'll soon discover that they're just made up in your head. Most likely, unless you want to believe the religous route, death is just a big nothing. I take comfort in that. If I live a strong life, I think I deserve an eternity of nothing. That would be kind of like heavan.

People are scared of death, when it's close at hand. I guess most people just don't think of it when it's far off.

How so? The entire foundation of religion is fear. The idea of Heaven and Hell is merely used to sate the fear of the unknown.

Its moreso the fact that you singled-out Christianity. Idk why there are so many haters of Christianity on these boards. Muslims, maybe? :lol:

We won't really know that it's nothingness, though...would we? I mean. . .when we die . . . and we just rot in the ground. . . our brains would rot away and turn to mush(. . . i would imagine that it would be all nothingness...but...ack! It's hard describing an infinite nothingness which cannot actually be "seen" or "acknowledged"

What's wrong with that? It's only bad because you falsely attach the meaning of it being bad to it. But since it's really nothing, it truely can't be bad.

You fear something that will kill you or hurts you.Death kills you and hurts you.

People have a drive to countinue living, but they also fear the unknown...Death is simply an unknown, know one truely knows what happens "after" death untill dying themselves

We could end up burning forever in the fiery pits of hell, living in a paradise above the clouds, simply going into a state of uncounciousness forever (like and endless sleep), or some other occurence we, as humans, couldn't possibly dream of. We just don't know, so why worry about such things?

I guess because I just fear the unknown. This may sound cheesy but in my heart, I think I know what death is, but I still fear it. I wish I didn't.

Death will come to everyone in time. The only thing one has to fear is if they have not reconciled with their loved ones before death comes.

I think most people are at least a little uncomfortable with the idea of death, but most of those people have been able to move past it and accept the fact that it'll happen someday. There's no point in obsessing over something inevitable and usually unpredictable. It'll happen, but sitting around worrying won't make it any easier.

I don't worry about it because death, as they say, has lost its sting.
