A long dirt nap? Why would it be like that? Or you could phrase it into a question. Do you remember dreaming something exciting the summer months of the year 1536? I don't because I don't think I existed. I think being dead means you are no longer, you don't experience anything, your mind and body is dead and you percieve nothing, not even dirt naps.

I don't see what's so wrong with that death. Unless your existence is a true misery, it's not good, it's not bad, it's nothing to worry about and nothing to look forward to.

I still have a life that I enjoy that contains things to look forward to so despite being an atheist, I don't feel that everything is completely pointless. I wanna make my mark upon the earth, have children and so on. Maybe all that won't matter to me when I'm dead, but then I'm not dead at the moment so it does matter.

I agree with Ethan, it makes just as much sense if not more for christians to go die thann it does for atheists (not that I think it makes sense to go die in general).

Despite me being what many would consider to be a contradiction in terms: a spiritual atheist, I don't really give too much consideration to the afterlife, whether one exists or not. If some equivalent of heaven exists then I'm sure its lovely If not no worries.....I'm dead.

im not i wasnt saying that i am but if there is god killing yourself is an abomination, or inflicting pain on oneself anyway. so maybe you would go to hell for killing yourself seeing it wasnt your time? i dont know

wouldnt you rather have an afterlife though , if you could pick what would you do, go to a heaven, or be nothing.

To me it doesn't matter much. Nothing seems like the safest bet actually. At least then I wouldn't have to find out that heaven forever isn't as good as I thought it would be. :p

I don't worry about hell either which is nice.

you wouldnt care if you burned for eternity? that would hurt a little i hope you know

Guybrush 05-07-2009 08:24 AM

I guess if there is an afterlife and I go to hell, then probably everyone goes to hell.

(edit : of course I'd rather take nothing over hell. duh!)

whenever I see men on the front line being interviewed they almost always mention something about God.
