Death and Afterlife

GhostGirl191:

^ well i dont believe hell is a torture firey place either. i believe hell comes from your own mind. for example, if you're one of those ppl who are deathly afraid of clowns, and i mean really afraid of them, not just saying you are, then your hell would have to do with that some how. something like that

and i believe heaven works the same way, whatever your paradise is in your mind, becomes you heaven when you die.if you've ever seen the movie What Dreams May Come with Robin Willams then you'll know what i'm talking about

^ Thats a really good idea,a nd I agree with that. I don't think its under the earth, tho. Or the catholic belief of the 7 (?) hells. If God is all-loving why would he create such misery? But I don't know what I'm deathly afraid of. huh.

What happend in that film? can anyone tell me? All I want in heaven is a chance to meet my Grandads, and my uncle again. Thats all I want, to be with those I love. I suppose that is paradise for me. At least they're somthing.

I'm not sure what my thoughts are on this topic, as they always change.
However, for "afterlife," or maybe it is just another kind of being, I don't know, I sometimes feel the presence of something or someone. if that makes sense.

I wonder if the presences I feel are the "afterlife" in one stage.
Like souls, in one stage of the afterlife.

I've been trying to figure this out since I was about 6.
I'm still not sure if the spirits roaming around will go anywhere afterwards, but I have a theory.

Everyone has some kind of spirit/ soul like thing that's visible to some people like me. Its hard to see, but at times, its visible.
Ghosts have this too. but it feels like their soul is faded out and small.
so my theory is, once this spirit/soul thing fades away, you're gone forever.
You don't go anywhere. You just dissappear after your soul is gone.

Mikey Way.:

You just dissappear after your soul is gone.

I totally understand what you mean by the rest of what you said, so I won't quote everything.
But I like the idea, that you always exsist.
I prefer it to be honest, over an idea of "dissappear". So maybe if your soul does "dissappear" you don't go too. Because you had a body, and wether it's buried, or cremated, something of you still exsists somewhere, you know what I mean?

I like the idea of the afterlife, because it makes the idea of death less scary.

i am not scared of death. i think of it this way, everyone is gonna die some day so u wont be alone. the only thing that scares me is the life before i die. the things i do before i die, the choices i make, etc. i also wonder what will happen after i die. i'm not sure about reincarnation and spirits. i do belive in heaven. i just dont want to disappear into nothingness unable to do anything.

uhm..i already lost my fear of dying, you know. when i met My Chem, my comprehension about death changed . as long as i've done all the things that i have to do, okay, i can die. but i wanna die, the natural way. uhmmthe one where you were just like sleeping. ..

i guess, after death, i would go to HEAVEN!! i hope so.

loverdose.:

if the ghost is the spirit of a dead person, and that person is dead, what the hell is their ghost doing?

I totally think that point is worth making. A lot of people assume, ghosts are basically dead people that came back to earth. But when you think about it, it doesn't really make sense.

I think that in order for the "circle of life" to take place then everything will need to rot along with the body.But if there was a life after death i would concider that a form of limbo because you wouldnt be resting but trying to find peace or a place to be. All in all i dont think there is one when you die you die.

I used to be freaked out by death. Going to funerals never really helped much either. I would always worry about whether my dead body would be scared to be buried six feet under and whether it would be comfortable enough in its coffin. Then I grew up and realized that my dead body would be dead, I'm pretty sure it won't mind if it was stuck in the ground. But seriously now, I don't worry about death anymore. Somewhere I had read, and if this is your quote you can say so, "besides the one catch of death in the contract, your life is completely unplanned..." or something like that, I'm not sure. I like to think, well know, that once I take my last breath, I'm going to float up to heaven where God is, and then I get to live in a huge golden mansion and eat strawberry cheesecake every day. I see death as a new adventure, not something to cry over.

i'm not freaked out by death but when i think of death i think of when your in a room thats dead dark and you cant actually see because its THAT dark. thats what i think deaths like.
but i think some people who havent done things that they wanted to achieve in life can have an afterlife and achieve it in the next human being they are.
i dont know weather thats just me thinking that though

I'm not freaked out about death itself, I worry about how everyone is going to take that I die. I hope that they won't be sad for too long and be able to move on with their lives in the best way possible. I'd like to do various of things before I die so I hope that I can do alot of those things before the ending of my life.

To me death is the end that's it I don't believe in afterlife, heaven or hell at all. I don't fear death, It doesn't seem scary because nothing comes after it.

I am not as much afraid of death as I am of dying without impacting someone somehow.

I would hate to die, and have no one remember my name.

I absolutly do not believe in heaven and hell. I hate the idea of when you die u either go to the "good place" or "the bad place"

I like what Gerard said about going where you w ant to go when u die.

Death is not something you should be afraid of.
not something you should look foward to.

just, i think that we should leave it be, and just now that e verything will be okay when you die, and you shouldn't waste the time you have living worrying about it.

okay, im babbling.

holy crap. well said!!

Migatron.:

what if were all already dead and this is the afterlife ?
what if life itself is a giant scratched record and were just replaying it over and over again ?

Woah dude. Way to do my head in


But that is something to think about I guess...

At this point in time, I'm afraid to die only because from a spiritual sense, I'm not where I want to be. I have some things to work on. I know there's an afterlife. I'm mostly afraid of how I'll die. I don't want to drown, be stabbed, or burned. I want it to be quick and painless.

The Soul is eternal! We'll carry on. The human mind can not wrap itself around the idea of eternity. I think it's supposed to be that way. I know that He has a Plan. Life is a probationary period, or preparation for Eternity.
