Honestly, I just think that what happens after the moment of death is 100% unpredictable. Thus you can have no opinion of what death means as a change. You might say ' ' you won`t be able to experience the world that we know now ' ' but you still don't know whether that`s true or not.

Since everything that we are is created by impulses in the brain, it's safe to assume no impulse = no consciousness. Worst case scenario you end up retarded, at which point you don't give a damn.

but you are not dead when you're capable of not giving a damn??

i agree with the no consciousness part though.

i'll try putting it into different words...
imo we can only understand what death is when it happens to others, since the mechanism of our understanding is taken away from us when we ourselves die.

Why? Imagine going in with no expectations and ending up in heaven. Is that not great?

I'm afraid to die because I inherited a gene that makes me that way. That gene was passed on to me because the people who did not have that gene (or at least one that created such a strong fear) died, leaving the people with the death-fearing-gene to live, reproduce, and pass on their genes.

Everyone who is trying to explain an emotion with a thinking reason completely missed the boat on this one - you don't 'feel' because you 'think a certain thought': for example, you don't feel happy when a particularly hot girl talks to you because you have some intellectual reason to, you simply have the genetic makeup that makes you feel that way. Similarly, you aren't afraid (emotion) to die because of some though or reason, you simply have the genetic makeup that makes you feel that way.

Look up Pascal's Wager on Wikipedia - basically, the rebuttal is, what happens if you end up believing in and worshipping God, and it turns out that there is a God BUT the God rewards those who don't believe and punishes those who do believe?

I'm not sure why i'm scared of death. i don't care about being forgotten, because i know eventually there will be nobody to remember.

i think that everything man creates - technology, religion, art, medicine, science - all aims in some way to either prolong life or to help forget, at least for a moment, about death. it is why we build monuments like the pyramids - perhaps we believe we immortalize ourselves in our creations, even though logic dictates this simply isn't true.

i guess i don't want to die before i can accept the inevitability of death. if i were to die right now and looked back on my life, i'd feel like the whole time it was missing something important. i'd rather not feel that way before i do die... i want to feel whole and at peace.

maybe now i'm rambling, good thread though

yeah, that's retarded.

Basically the whole idea of punishing seems really retarded to me.

I honestly have no fear of death

The thing that I do fear is not bringing respect to my family, or if I died prematurely how it would effect them :X

Yea well what about all the other religions, or even the different branches of Christianity. Most of you are going to go to Hell, even if one of your Gods does exist.

Well basically Pascal's Wager is an attempt to convince a non-Christian to believe in the Christian God, based on probabilities and expected values.

Essentially it goes:

If you believe in God and God exists, you win eternal happiness.
If you believe in God and God does not exist, nothing happens.

if you don't believe in God and God exists, you get eternal torment.
If you don't believe in God and God exists, nothing happens.

And therefore it is better to 'bet' by believing in God.

---

The flaw of course is that the wager assumes that either the Christian God exists or no god at all exists - it discounts the possibility of a God that rewards a lack of belief and punishes belief. Once you include that possibility it cancels out the rewards/punishment of a Christian God, and so the wager is dead - there is no point in betting by believing.

Im not afraid of death but my brain cant imagine how i can dissapear for eternity. It's like.. being around 4ever but simply death and lost.. dunno.. I hope its like sleeping. Forever. So the eternal sleep feels like 1 sec long..

Still im just kinda afraid cause i find it so menacing..probably its just like sleeping, though.. - -v

Another flaw is that maybe, just MAYBE a God full of love as believers say (i have no clue if it's true or not, and neither does anyone but whatever) just doesn't punish, he rather forgives ._.
