DEATH becomeS U ?

**zOaib** · 06-11-2004, 07:15 AM

FIRST i'd like to clear out i am not obsessive about more real life things , like my previous thread about adultery and sin ! but it is my way of getting some feedback and to learn what a general view out there is about topics such as this !

DEATH , not an opinion but a fact ! for sure ............... when i think about it i recall memories of past of things i have done n would like to do , but with and uncertainity which always floats around , is that WILL I BE HERE TO SEE TOMMORROW ............

anyways would like to see what all u think about dying and is there anything after that ?

nothing after, we just biodegrade, like a rotten apple tossed out of a car. none of us are special. we are all organic beings like plants and will wither a way and die one day just like a plant. there is no soul in humans to transfer to a so called heaven. there is no life after death. these are my buddast views. everything has a begining and and end, even human life!

I never know if ill be here tommorow. A few weeks ago I watched a person swerve on and off the high way a few times then back off into some trees at 75mph. I was sick to my stomach for days. A 24 year old girl died. Makes me think at any given second my time could be up. As for the after life I think if you believe Jesus died for our sins we will go do heaven. But thats what i believe.

Lmao...you sound like you're married and want out of the marriage

I myself believe that the living will never have an answer to this question

First off, death is something i dont think about. 2nd, i believe when we die we go back to the earth. Nothing else...No after life, no rose garden, no pearly gates, no 100 virgins..

Death is death and we only live on in the hearts and minds of the people we've touch while alive.

Your probably right. You know us Christians have to have new soil when we inherit the earth. Nothing like corpses to reinvegerate the soil.

**hercules88** · 06-11-2004, 07:56 AM

i know my post was a little morbid, but that is what i feel is the truth. no sense in hiding it or sugar coating it!

***SV-1*** · 06-11-2004, 07:58 AM

I believe that when you die that's it, no afterlife, no heaven or hell, just an end.

I believe that there is a God, a heaven, souls and salvation through Jesus. I didn't always, I was an agnostic for a long time. My 02

Dying's easy...it's living that's hard.

good resume

**craneboy** · 06-11-2004, 12:57 PM

i hope there's something else but i really dont know

**Quake** · 06-11-2004, 02:40 PM

Try reading some Heidegger and Kierkegaard, you might find them interesting. If I come across my old advised reading list for the "death and dying" topic I studied at Uni, I'll post it for you, some interesting reading! You should look at reading a little philosophy, if you're not already, you'll find all sorts of questions like these discussed in great depth! Philosophy rocks, it really opened my world up, I realised that there are people out there who think about the things I do, in fact there's a whole community of them!

**DADDYDBOL** · 06-11-2004, 03:06 PM

man....i would hate to think how bleek my life would be without Jesus.....

i don't think about death.....i'm too busy living....

**Pale Horse** · 06-11-2004, 03:08 PM

Bouncer272,
I was really philosiphical in college and when I was younger . It's easy (no flame) to be that way when there are less important things on your mind ie: getting laid etc....

Got married , had some kids, things changed. Philosophy is great for debate but in the end there can be no right or wrong answers. But the hard truth in my opinion is that all there are in life are right and wrong answers, not interpretations. And for those answers we will be held acountable.

My 02, keep up on the philosophy thing it will expand your mind, but no answers will be found there

**Pale Horse** · 06-11-2004, 03:10 PM

Daddydbol,

you read my mind Bro!

**Quake** · 06-11-2004, 03:21 PM

1victor. You are so wrong. Firstly, you can find answers in philosophy, or at least conclusions, of course counter arguments are made to every conclusion and these are all interesting, but at some point each person lands at a place which they might not budge from, at least for a while. Secondly, interpretations there are! A different subject, but equally as interesting is Psychology, this is a quote from a book I have been reading recently - "The accounts and conceptualizations of persons offered by psychologists can equally be considered to be constructions. By this I mean that studying the person in a social world is not just a question of looking at the facts. For knowledge does not exist 'out there' to be discovered. Psychologists and others create it with the particular concepts, methods and theories they use." This is applicable to similair such sciences to lesser and more degrees, but of course not to everything.

Give philosophy a go! The book I started on was by Nigel Warburton and it was called "Philosophy the basics" I've since lost the book, so I can't tell you the publisher sorry.

Have you tried LSD? This really opens up your world, but I'd never advise anybody to take it because it also can f**k you up in a big way!

Deplete resources, die, rot, replenish the soil. It's our purpose.

wait til the anti-ogm gay hippies will know about that one... "No testosterone loaded manure!!!"

**inheritmylife** · 06-14-2004, 09:17 AM

I believe that we die and the world inherits what we leave behind, our children, our accomplishments, and our downfalls. To me, that is the afterlife, our legacy. Better leave it better than you found it.

But hey, its all in my name right?

**Quake** · 06-15-2004, 04:28 PM

On death I believe there's something after life, as the late great Jim Morrison sang
"All our lives we sweat and save,
building for a shallow grave,
must be something else to save,
somehow to defend this place,
Everything must be this way,
Everything must be this way!"

The Doors-The Soft Parade

**Quake** · 06-15-2004, 04:45 PM

Here's some weird stuff from Jim Morrison again, on death -

"How to acquire death in the morning show.
TV death which the child absorbs
Deathwell mystery which makes me write
Slow train, the death of my cock gives life.
.............................
I pressed her thigh and death smiled.

Death, old friend,
Death and my cock are the world.
I can forgive my injuries in the name of
Wisdom Luxury Romance

Sentence upon sentence
Words are healing lament
For the death of my cock's spirit
Has no meaning in the soft fire.
Words got me the wound and will get me well,
If you believe it.

All join now and lament for the death of my cock
A tongue of knowledge in the feathered night.
Boys get crazy in the head and suffer,
I sacrifice my cock on the altar of silence."

And this next piece is some beautiful stuff!

"....They are waiting to take us into the severed garden
Do you know how pale and wanton thrillful comes death on a strange hour unnanounced, unplanned for
Like a scaring over-friendly guest you've brought to bed
Death makes angels of us all and gives us wings
where we had shoulders smooth as ravens claws.
No more money, no more fancy dress
This other kingdom seems by far the best
until its other jaw reveals incest
and loose obedience to a vegetable law
I will not go
Prefer a Feast of Friends
To the Giant Family."

Jim Morrison - An American Prayer

I'm not too sure about the incest part, but the rest of it is bloody good! Hope you like!
