It will be nice to finally know what happens when you die.
I just try not to think about it, but when I do I like to think that when the time comes I'll accept it.
Acceptance is still very far off though. :v:

Same, I was googling like a motherfucker when I first saw the thread. :v:
Not afraid of death.. Only afraid of dying..
Not afraid of death because death doesn't mean the end of existence. Non-existence is an impossibility.
Nope, why should I be concerned with such a frivolous thing that I cannot change?
I have seen the other side and let me tell you: there is [b]nothing[/b] there.
I'm not afraid of dieing.
Anytime will do. I don't mind.
Yes/No.
I want to see what's after death. But I haven't lived life enough so I'm afraid of death coming too early.
No, it's not like I'll be conscious in any way after I die.
don't really care. I don't mind acknowledging that I'm going to die one day, but I hope I die when I'm old and have lived a full life.
Not really, I tend to not worry about an inevitable act of nature that happens to every single living organism known to man.
If they can handle it I can to.
No. I'm not afraid.
Yeah, I'm scared like hell. I have no way of knowing what happens, and if Christianity does end up being right by some impossibly remote chance, then I'm gonna be in excruciating pain for all eternity.

Seems a little odd to me that so many people are saying they're not scared because nothing happens after death. How do you know for sure? I'm an atheist, but there's no way for anyone to know what happens after death, no matter how hard you believe.
Yup. A lot. I'll be fucking horrified daily when I'm in the 70's age as that's the age my grandmom died.

I think it's safe to say alot of us will :frown:
I am not afraid of death. I don't even know what happens after death. As long as there is a possibility of something else other than the accepted happening, I must take it into account.
No, but if i were scared of what would happen after my death, it would be about my loved ones, what is going to happen in their lives after i'm dead, etc.

Why would our "selves", which is located in the brain, survive the destruction of the brain?
I am agnostic about life after death in the same way I'm agnostic about elves and dragons.

This is your unproven assumption. It is like a person from the past seeing a TV and assuming there are people physically located in the TV.

I don't know. That's what I'm trying to say.
It's not being dead that what scares me. What scares me more is how I'm going to die. When I think of all the horrible ways people die whether it be in a horrible car crash or being shot in the head, I realize that I'm no exception and could die the most painful death imaginable. The being dead part doesn't really bother me. The way I see it death is the end goal no matter what we do, so I just think of it as something natural that we are all going to experience.

Try destroying your brain and see what happens. Try destroying the brain of any living animal and see what happens.

[QUOTE=Spacewolf;23578391]I don't know. That's what I'm trying to say.[/QUOTE]
And I'm saying the chance that we survive our death is so ridiculously small that you might as well ignore it.

If there's some unseen world around us, we're not seeing everything that happens.

I know, but the chance is still there, and that's why I'm scared that there's some remote chance that crazy shit happens after death.
[QUOTE=Spacewolf;23578412]If there's some unseen world around us, we're not seeing everything that happens.[/QUOTE]
Again, why would there be? There's no evidence that there is, and if there is, that world doesn't interact with ours.

So you're afraid of anything the human mind can conceive of? Are you also afraid that your liver is going to become alive and run away from you? There's a chance it might happen.
i'm more afraid of how I die, but i'm pretty curious as well as to what happens after.
There is plenty of evidence, for those who are willing to look.
