What are your beliefs and morals on death?
 

What do you believe happens when you die, and how is your funeral going to be?

Try to be as serious as possible, and try even harder to be open-minded. I'll post my outlook on death later.

Don't hold back: live as though you had no other chance at a conscious
experience. Regret is the worst feeling one can have awareness of - the
sum of your energy should be invested in this life and not held back for
something like a chance to live again. Now is your moment: determine
how to best experience your existence and consciously enjoy Being in all
its glory; from one awareness to the last...

your soul is controlled by satan. nah you just die like everything else. humans are no exception to millipedes or ants. dont know how people can read a book and believe otherwise sleeping:

I think when you die, if you led a good life and did the best you could with what you were given, you will met god and live in heaven. This doesnt mean you cant sin at all. Just be the best person you can be. No one is perfect. Do the best you can and you will meet god in the end. If you intentionally do evil you will not be with god and you will suffer. This doesnt mean hell but your soul will suffer in some way.

I beleive something happens when you die, that its not just unconsciousness, im not saying its the classic heaven white tunnel and angels, just somethin.

Well, that just takes the fun out of life, now doesn't it?

after you die, your general imagination of what heaven is like takes form. Its like a never ending dream but its either happy (if you're a good person) or sad/evil (if you've lived your life with much sin and gluttony etc.). There might not be horned devils and angels with wings but your behavior in life will effect what happens to you in death.

I dont know. Ill see when i see, wont I? I believe in God. But im not sure if theres a heaven or a hell or if its just a metaphor for if you live a good life, you get rewarded. and vice versa.

As for my funeral, i want to be in one of the old school coffins they used back in the western days

Personally I see no purpose in living to prepare for death.

I agree with Solidus, enjoy the short time you have and make the most of your time here. Regardless of whether heavens gates or eternal darkness wait for you, the only thing you will leave here is your legacy.

Live a just and honorable life and take every day as if it would be the last.

Amen, carpe diem brotha!

i think when you finally draw your last breath and close your eyelids, you open them right after almost as if you blinked. but you are comming out of the womb and being reborn as a baby seeing the world for the first time, in that second long blink, you forget 99.9% of what you knew in your past life. i say the 99.9% because in the rare instances, when kids reach their second year of life, they sometimes (very rare) they talk and act like they're someone else, i forget the term, but its like relivivng past life experiences. the other idea i have besides reincarnation is death is only the beguinning of something else, the next step in a way, to what? i dunno, but that's what i think. i don't think theirs any pearly gates or anything nor is their any 'limbo' to wait in. but for some reason, i do think bad people do go somewhere. not quite like hell, but somewhere..

Most honestly heaven in a sense cause have u ever been staring down the barrel of life’s shitty boom stick with what seems no way out and gone please dude I know I don’t usually do this but help me out and ill owe u big then everything turns out ok.

Thats a cool idea.. beer:

well
 

this is wierd but i was taking my drivers ed program classes.. and they showed this one video where they showed this kid was in an accident and they showed how he was still thinking to him self saying "Wait why is this happening , I cant move , I cant feel anything" and then his heart dies and he says after they put the sheet over him with the tag on his foot "No dont leave me"and shit like that... it was freaky...i was thinking maybe thats what its like ....

impossible. The Death/Birth ratio would have to b 1:1 which i doubt it is

worm food...

well, in a little african tribe, there is the belief that when you kill anything living (animals only) a little version of the killed being crawls out of the animal's mouth and runs and jumps into something just being born, and that's how life and souls continue, so inturn they try not to kill too many things too fast because the little versions need time to find new things to hop into. plus it's a reason to procreate. plus, i think the birth rate is going faster than the death rate, you can blame the chineese for that.

Re: What are your beliefs and morals on death?
 

yep

-AB

Heaven, Hell, pergatory (for people to wait out to be cleansed from their sins), limbo (for the unbaptized babies).

I've always asked myself though, "What happens to the people in Africa, for example, that don't even know about Christianity? Would they ever make it into heaven?"

If I'm not mistaken most Christ based religions require you to accept Jesus as your savior...failure to do so would mean that you would be cast into hell for your sins.

Yeah, but I always wondered about the uninformed people. I know they can't get to heaven without being baptized, but I was wondering if they have a "pergatory/limbo-type" of place to go? Gotta ask a priest that sometime.

I never heard you HAVE to be baptized. Is that a Catholic thing?

I know that is required for Catholics...I'm not too sure about Protestants and whatnot.

i think you become reincarnated (sp?) as someone or something.

I'll haunt you after I die and tell you the scoop on the whole deal.

I think we're already dead. The "reality" we're all experiencing right now is Hell. hellfire:

...or at least purgatory. hellfire:

after your death is exactly the same as before your birth

Im not a religious man but ive heard about a guy who wrote a book on all the levels of hell. There were 9 total and each level was a different degree of sin. The lower levels were the worst. I think he said that the first level was designated to people who werent baptized. I forgot most of the other levels but I think the 3rd was people who committed suicide and murderers.

After you die your soul returns the Summerland where it rests until it is time for you to be reincarnated. Whether you worship the God and Goddess or not, if you've been a good person you are allowed into Summerland to eventually be reborn.

Damn Pagan! The Builder will smite thee with his mighty hammer! biggrin:

(Thief 3 joke)

If I'm not mistaken... that book of whoch you speak is Dante's Inferno. It's all about a happy little tour of Hell.

Yea i think your right. I remember now one of the worst things you could do was be a traitor. i think that was either the last or second to last level.

never ending blackness, void, you no longer exist. Eternal silence. Now I ask... What is so bad about death ?

Ill tell you things tht are worse. Dis-Honor for one.

Purgatory Repenting Believers
Level 1 - Limbo Virtuous Non-Believers
Level 2 Lustful
Level 3 Gluttonous
Level 4 Prodigal and Avaricious
Level 5 Wrathful and Gloomy
Level 6 - The City of Dis Heretics
Level 7 Violent
Level 8- the Malebolge Fraudulent, Malicious, Panderers
Level 9 - Cocytus Treacherous

Im going to the fifth level apparently.

Fifth Level of Hell

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The river Styx runs through this level of Hell, and in it are punished the wrathful and the gloomy. The former are forever lashing out at each other in anger, furious and naked, tearing each other piecemeal with their teeth. The latter are gurgling in the black mud, slothful and sullen, withdrawn from the world. Their lamentations bubble to the surface as they try to repeat a doleful hymn, though with unbroken words they cannot say it. Because you lived a cruel, vindictive and hateful life, you meet your fate in the Styx.
