We're all going to die

[Michael]

I think about this everyday and as much as I hate it, it's reality. We are ALL going to die. We don't know when, where and how but we will at some point in time. Doesn't this scare you? I know it's not something the average 15 year old thinks about but the thought of my whole family dying, all of you guys dying it's just extremely scary. Does it not phase you that years after we're dead we won't be remembered at all? We'll just be a fading memory and then in the future, not one person will know who you were.

I just find this topic fascinating and scary at the same time.

[Chiraqq]

Yeah I am scared to die lol but I will make the best of my life.

 

[Poop]

Nah, im not that scared at something that is bound to happen. Plus who knows, in 70 years they will probably have some fucking pill that makes you live for like 500 years.

I believe in something called reincarnation so when we die we will be in a better more revolutionized world in a different galaxy were the good and powerful stuff we dream about at night becomes a reality on that world in that different galaxy.

I have a saying that I know may sound like it makes me seem like an ass, but I usually go by: "Life is a bitch and we all die anyway."

 

[Profanity]

I'm not scared of death but am of what comes after. The fear of not knowing is what scares me the most.
Though, I'm a firm believer in my religion (Catholic/Catholicism), and the Bible states life after death, I'm scared. No one knows what happens so this is what frightens me the most.

 

[Nevermind]

Fear of death is one of the main reasons that religion still exists. It gives people fake consolation for times when they don't know who to turn to. How is a religious person scared of death in the first place? That doesn't make sense in the slightest.

It's better then believing we'll rot in the ground for all eternity.

That doesn't make it any more true. Comfort is not equal to truth.

It does to many people. Thousands, hell even millions of people. I don't think we should banter about Religion on a thread like this, though.

@Leader @Michael

IT is better to believe in something than nothing. Who knows maybe it will be real, and if not it wont even affect you.

This thread has everything to do with religion, mate.

I would much rather know the truth than be lied to in order to make me feel better.

 

[Professor]

I look forward to it because I know where I'm going, and what God has planned for me after this life is much better than anything we can imagine here.

I've accepted death. It's not all that monstrous and scary when you essentially devalorize it by accepting the reality of it. I have not labeled being remembered as a standard or expectation, so I have nothing to be upset for, in regards of being remembered leastways. Truthfully, the ambition to be is seemingly selfish.

I don't see why this thought holds such a burden on your conscience nor would scare you so seeing how you believe in the afterlife.

Not it does not. I seemingly expressed my opinion on the simple fact that we're all going to cease too exist. Nothing about the past life has been mentioned because I knew it would stir a lot of bullshit. I just want opinions on what people think of everyone dying.

Me, I'm personally fine and I know that death will come but I don't like the fact that my family is also going to go. Relatives, friends, etc.

"One's death from an afterlife-believer's perspective should be a time of celebration if anything, not a time of mourning. The believer would only be away from their beloved for an infinitesimally miniscule epoch, in comparison of the eternity they'll be spending with each other in the afterlife. It would actually be incredibly self-centered and rude to mourn someone, in comparison of one who mourns the loss of a beloved one and does not believe in the afterlife. Thus, mourning from an afterlife-believer's perspective is extensively immoral.

The afterlife-believer thinks once they die, they'll be spending eternity with their beloved, therefore, how is death a bad thing? It's the transition stage to entering the supposedly greatest place in existence. Whilst the non-believer thinks this is their only life, and would be burning in purgatory for eternity according to the afterlife-believer's ideology."

Maybe I should've stated most of my family are non believers.

The Pope has stated even heathens of Christianity are capable of entering heaven. (However, truthfully, this contradicts Christian scripture entirely.) Howbeit, even if he is wrong, it's impossible to empathize with them for you'll be heaven. You have no choice but to be happy for you'll be with God, as Christian dogma dictates. Pain, plague, suffering, adverse feelings, anxiety, mourning, fear, heartache, along with freewill cease in the afterlife. The subtleties of life and the intricacies of emotion die in the "paradise" that is heaven. We become robotic drones devoid of choice, controlled by a murderous and omnipotent celestial dictator who finds an eternity of hellfire an acceptable and reasonable punishment for not believing in him; given the sole proofs, despite them contradicting reality and science, he provided us were manifested to us by desert-located, unreliable, unintelligent and semi-stupefied peasants in the middle of nowhere thousands of millennia ago randomly, after waiting 13.8 billion years and letting all those who lived before his manifestation to us unknowingly ticket themselves a voyage to hell to burn forever for something they knew nothing about, and finds blind faith to be a reasonable tool of determining who deserves to accompany him in heaven. Hence enabling illogic and ill-reason, (the concepts that initiate atrocities) and devalorizing logic and reason, (the concepts that prohibit atrocities).

If the Pope's correct, then I don't want to live in heaven for God's injustice. I refuse to worship a monstrosity. I want to be able to feel sadness; I want to be able to feel pain; I want to be able to suffer; I want to be able to fear the monsters; I want to be able to cry because I got hurt; I want to be able to be heartbroken because she said no. I don't want to be a robotic drone colorless of emotion's intricacies and life's subtleties. Heaven is embodied as an utopia, however, a paradise that lacks freewill and justice is not a paradise at all; rather a masqueraded dystopia. These same qualities are reflectable in all dystopias, i.e Nazi Germany, Soviet Russia, Mussolini in Italy, Castro in Cuba, the Church in the Dark Ages, North Korea, all brainwashed worlds, all theocracies, and all dictatorships.

We're so extensively deluded that we're willing to discriminate and murder for a religious dogma that can't be proven, and happily so. The destruction it causes when exhibited, rather than deteriorates faith, strengthens faith. When in the face of fear, we pray to God to stop and help, bringing the alike closer, deluding ourselves furthermore. It makes fools feel wise for it dictates absolutes, and invalidly, yet validly in the eyes of our world justifies all things wrong, i.e honor rape, murder, genocide, bigotry and discrimination, injustice. It double-standardizes all notions that should cause doubt. It's a malignant cancer guised with fruitfulness and benevolence. It's that ideal and fearsome. Its true self is rarely manifested. I am confident when I say religion is man's grandest miscreation.

If the world was not so desensitized to religious beliefs to find religion as an acceptable insanity nor as indoctrinated and brainwashed as we are, you would probably be calling an insane asylum your home for your beliefs. I encourage that you thoroughly and objectively attempt to skepticize the reason and logic of your beliefs for they are overabundant in ill-reason and illogic.

These would be my thoughts if I was mentally organized better.
