Re: Death

It could be...who knows??? Well, He does...also, have you guys thought that Earth could be the Purgatory and our lives is nothing more than a "test"?

I don't doubt that.

Re: Death

I am afraid of never seeing my loved ones again, the mourning they would be in. I am also afraid of dying in a horrible state, and what will happen to me when I die (I am a christian).

Isn't the whole point of Christianity life after death? You see, in most religions like Christianity the immortal soul does not die, but goes on and on no matter who tries to stop them, much like Paris Hilton's career.

Re: Death

Aren't Christians supposed to believe that they will go to heaven and join their loved ones in the afterlife?

Yes, but that is a debated issue. I mean..many say we are christians but there are few who are dedicated to the christian lifestyle. I mean, I am a sinner. I can admit that. I sin daily. But yes, I believe if forgiven than heaven is where we are directed too.

That has always been an interesting concept to me just like de ja vu. They say that if you experiance deja vu than it means you are living your life the way you are supposed to be, with it being planned before your birth.

Re: Death

God could have made the order of things the opposite...we could start as old tired ppl and then gradually grow younger and finish our "stay" in Earth in our mom's womb...

Hmmm ... what if it's actually like that, except right now He is rewinding the universe to return it to the universe rental store?

Re: Death

Does it sound like he is joking or is it just me??? (I can't stand Seinfield...)

If you really take a moment to think about it, it would actually be great if it could be all reversed...

Re: Death

Since I wrote this thread both my grandmother and uncle have passed away and it has had a lasting effect on me.

That's sad. I never knew my grandfathers.

I used to lurk around at alt.fan.dragonball and I remember one day reading that one of the regulars in that newsgroup had been involved in a car accident and died. He was a little older than I was, I think. He was one of the more lively (and intelligent) members in that newsgroup, and gave the idiotic newbies a good bashing every now and then (which made it kind of intimidating to post regularly). It was just bizarre and depressing not seeing him there anymore.

Why does life have to be so finite?
