Death

[aeonblue11]

i believe that our minds are too primitive to comprehend all realms of existance and all aspects of life and death. so i think its ridiculous to think you know what happens after death. im in agreement with the philosophy of everyone being a part of one conciousness in death.

seems fun

Well i'll be the first to say that I fear death more than anything because thats what Ive been programmed to fear. As you get older, and you grow closer and more comfortable with death, than the fear wanes but as of right now, I DONT WANNA DIE!!!!!

I don't know what happens when we die, but I hope we get to be with God and be happy.

I have started believing that it is a sin to commit suicide, as I have contemplated doing so recently. It is kind of like murder.

Anyway, I'm probably both more and less religious than the average American, and definitely more religious than most Europeans.

Not being afraid of death and wasting your life in a pointless war are tottally different things.

mate DO NOT call this war pointless, unless youve been up front and actually seen what i saw you have no right to say anything on the matter,

having said that, you either completely missed the point of my post, or you are using this thread to air your own political beliefs, if its the former, try rereading the post, if its the latter, open up a new thread in the politics section and dont hijack this one

I'd actually agree with Matt and say its you that missed the point. Your first post was ridiculous, it's perfectly acceptable and sane for an individual to not fear death without rushing towards it. Just as its coherent to not want to sacrifice one's life for a cause that one doesn't believe in.
I'd agree with what you said about hijacking the thread and remind you that the topic was death, which has nothing to do with one's willingness to be on the front lines.

I think death is awesome.

okay you calling my first post ridicules is fine, seeing how thats your opinion but i did not miss the point at all

it is my opinion that anyone saying they do not fear death is either stupid or insane, i said join the army, coz once you do, once you face death, there is no way you wont fear it, unless as i saif before, your stupid or insane (i was not telling him to sacrifice his life for something he doesnt believe in)

they say the only way to judge if something is alive is if it fears its death, and that is true,

i am not looking down on them for not putting their lives on the line (you people really gotta start actually reading what i write) i AM however putting them down for saying they are not afraid of death, that is all im putting them down for,

there is a difference between an old or sick person who dies peacefully in a bed, and some healthy kid walking around saying "im a tough guy, im not afraid of death"

it is also natural to want to preserve your own life, to not want to die, that is one of the most natural things in the world

where in that one sentance i wrote, or in all my posts, did i personally acuse you of saying you dont fear death?

im also not saying to live your life in fear of death, im saying its stupid/crazy to go around telling everyone you dont fear death,

seriously every single post ive written except my first one in this thread has been due to someone misinterpreting the last, i dont know whether its some sort of grammar difference between america and australia, maybe im not explaining my points clearly (though i keep rereading and dont see how it can be misinterpreted)
