[QUOTE="LiftedHeadshot"]Why? Because they believe in the lie that is Christianity.LiftedHeadshot

People don't fear death because of of two things; accepting that it happens and ignoring the issue, and the belief in life after death. On a sort of side note. Think about when you go to sleep. There is that period of time well you sleep where you don't, feel, hear, see, think, smell, or taste anything. Now image that's what happens when you die, only it never ends. It is frightening because the human mind is incapable of imagining nothing, its terrifying, so much so that we don't think about it, or create a fantasy so as to avoid that fear of nothing.

Meh, it happens... just hope I don't get condemned to some zombie apocalypse for eternity or something. What's scary about it is noone knows what happens :O. No reason to cry about it though I'm too busy enjoying my time here.

Eh, at that point it's inevitable. Why fear it?

I'd be more scared to live forever. You're bound to see.... Everything :shock:

I can't speak for anyone else.

But I've already seen well enough that life can suck, and that Death therefore represents Freedom From Suffering.

I can't speak for everyone else, but I am afraid to die.

I don't think about it too often, but it is a scary thought to me.

Heres a question:

If you could find out the very minute you die, would want to know?

Nope, not really. All I care about is leaving this world with an imprint of change in this world.

Don't know. I'm too busy trying to leave a legacy and have fun to worry about it.

Idk, good question. My last near death experience, I wasn't afraid at all for some reason, it's like I was completely willing to die. I just stood my ground and looked death straight in the face and thought to myself, "I guess this is the end." I guess life ran out of **** to throw at me.

If I was afraid of the inevitable, I might as well die now because my life would be terrible. I just don't see a reason to fear what I cannot change.guynamedbilly

I'm not even religeous and even I thought that was low. :|

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

Oh the irony :roll:

I couldn't help myself.

I don't know if I should fear death or just ignore it. It is hard to think a about a void of nothing but thats just what it is nothing it may hurt at first but in the end there will be not pain or suffering or regret just nothing.

It's just something that I don't see a need to think about. If I thought about it all the time, I imagine I could make myself depressed about it; I still don't think I'd be afraid though.

it's easy to say you aren't afraid of death if you've never had to face it.

i've seen enough videos of people dying to know unless they are knocked out or incapacitated in some way that they are freaking out/crying while they die.

there's many many horrible ways to die.

Just because you see someone in pain or showing regret at their death doesn't mean they are afraid of death(though I imagine most people are.)guynamedbilly

i guess next time someone is dying i'll ask them their feelings then.

I fail to see how inevitability automatically removes the fear out of something. If I'm being held in a cell and I know I will be tortured to death in an hour, you're damn straight I'm going to be fearful. Death is even worse, as at least with torture you know somewhat of what's going to happen. Death is a complete unknown, and a hell of a lot scarier.

Plantas had the best answer though: death scares those most who are near to it (or actually really realize that it's going to happen). Totally agree.

Most everybody holds a natural fear of inevitable death. I can't imagine a person who doesn't hold some fear towards it. Even a completely religious person who has faith and believes in a God holds doubt in his heart. People naturally fear the unknown and death is the biggest unknown there is. Many people live in denial or put on the face of acceptance and fear, but I believe you put anyone in a situation where they are going to be killed, they will be scared.

I`m more scared about a painful death

Can't say I'm afraid of death. Life should never be lived with fear. Carpe Diem

True for me as well. The being dead part doesn't bug me, it's really just the dying part. There are WAY to many horrendously effed up and painful ways to go out.

most people are horrified of death I don't know what you're talking about.EMOEVOLUTION

i'm only scared of how i die, if i knew i was going to pass away in my sleep i wouldn't mind.

Whats to be afraid of? It is inevitable, being afraid would only take away from life.

Why be scared?Death is definitely the best thing that will happen to you (PM me if you're interested for the evidence).

Religion is likely a reason why a lot of people don't fear death.
