I think it will be sort of like darkness and then a light will shine forth to show me the way to go. Some times at night I think about things like this because its interesting. I think about Death, how the universe was created, how the naboring planets died off, all that stuff.

Yea, I just want to know what others are thinking thats all, so answer away. There are no right or wrong answers.

Thing is, there's a fat chance we won't exist anymore to experience death, or we'll be, like, so STONED we won't notice it.

Maybe, maybe...

I think that it depends on your fears and desires and what you have done during your life for what'll happen to you then:

Have you been a bad boy, you'll experience some stuff you don't really like.

Have you been really, really bad, you'll experience your worst fear for the rest of that planary existence.

Were you good, you'll have some small wishes fullfilled.

Were you even better, the bigger wishes.


And so on. Go figure.

My theory of death? Me going to Hell.

Depends on how I die, if I was to get shot or fall off a cliff, I would probably feel a milli-second of amazing pain and then be in heaven I suppose.

so you're talking about existing without living or something? you exist without being able to do ANYTHING

kinda reminds me of Tales of Symphonia and the Exspheres. "existing without living"

i don't know what to think. i lost two friends, 1 in a car accident and one because of cancer in his brain(my best friend in 1st and 2nd grade), and my great grandmother because of her age (100 years, nice age, no?) in 3 years, and i think they are better place, but because of NewWindRider's explanation of his view on death, it makes me think, and a little depressed too but that's okay, don't worry.

Think of it like this; you die, you get burned to ashes or stuffed in a box, and, you go six feet underground for all eternity. But seriously, death is a paradox, 'cause ya never know for sure until it actually happens, BUT you actually DON'T know, because well... you're dead, your brain has officially shut off forever. so therefore, we will never know...*slaps self in face for contradicting myself*

aren't paradoxes fun?

Just like I said before: death is not just absence of life, it is absence of existance.

I have to write about being a minute away from death but being saved.

Now try to imagine the exact opposite view from yours, and that's my view.

I think death is everything getting dark and cold, then no more pain. After that, you no longer have a voice or a real exhistance, you're just kind of there.

I'll go to Hell, whether I want to or not. And I don't...

You know what I really hate? When people just say: "This is what's going to happen, and when you can see this, you'll understand that."

I mean, come ON! This is all opinion based, right? I love how everyone here seems to think they're going to Hell ... so, you believe then, is that right? Did anyone ever tell you that you don't have to? I mean, if you know you're going, why the heck are you still not doing anything about it?

What if ... what if someone gave you a tip that someone was going to come and rob your house, a week from now, 15 after 3 in the morning. Wouldn't you be on guard? Wouldn't you be ready with a nailbat, ready to bash that poor saps head in the second he tries anything?

In the same way, if you know where you're going, why the HECK are you not doing anything about it?

In any case, what I BELIEVE about Death is this:

Those who are saved by Grace are given a voucher, meaning they never have to suffer in Hell until judgment. They can just take a nap, and they don't really feel anythign or know anything until God raises everyone and everyone is judged.

And for those who HAVEN'T received that voucher, they get to suffer in Hell until Judgment day, when their bodies are raised up a final time and they get judged.

Everyone is judged, Christians, Jews, Hindus, Muslims ... EVERYONE. The difference is that those who are saved get to have a little peace before Judgment, and for those are not, they feel only suffering.

And, in any case, those who were in Hell are most likely going to be cast into the Fire ... at least, the pit of liquid fire, the lake, the eternal DEATH of the Soul, when everything really IS snuffed out.

And those who were saved by Grace are going to Heaven, kinda. There are different rewards of Heaven, so for some, it's just eternal life, and for others, it's eternal life + power +knowledge +whoever knows what else.

But hey! I could be wrong. I don't believe I'm wrong, because I have faith that I'm right. But, it's ... well, I can't say it's possible, because I can't believe it is, it just wouldn't make sense for it not to be possible. But, to afford diversity of opinion, I'll just say that ... who knows?

You've said that twice.

Me, I think it's like you being without senses in heaven no pain or anything get what i'm saying.

Death......The Grim Reaper......the pain of his sytche.....the slash of him reaping your soul to the other world where he and god will make thier judgement on where you shall go. If heaven awaits you you'll be sent to your verison of paradice. If hell is where you shall be forever sent then for each sin you'll be tortured and then live there with unbearable pain. Although don't think the Grim Reaper or the Devil are just things doing thier job you may have conversations with them for where ever you go.

Last I checked im alive(or am I) But i dont know?:conf: death I dont know:conf:
