I was wondering what attitudes we have towards death.
Do you fear Death?

spider: unfortunately both atheists and theists will vote no, for completely different reasons.
Well, I suppose the preacher is right...
Anyway, I do not fear death. It seems stupid to me to fear something that cannot be avoided and which is quite natural. I do not fear taking a leak either.
Of course, that is the theory.
You got a point there with the fearing the dying part. If it was something excrutiantingly painful, like leaving life Jesus-style, then yes, I would probably be afraid to die that way. If I would just drop dead...I suppose that would be allright.

I think its always worse for those watching someone they love dying...then the one dying..Woody said:
after all sick dying people are usualy pumped up full of painkillers and drugs to not feel much pain when they go.
me I dont fear death,as long as I go naturaly,in my sleep when Im about 120 years old
this is your death
I was going to say that if you have an infection, taking a leak can be a scary thing... but then you said "jesus-style" so nevermind lmaoDreamwalker said:

I felt sad when i read you say that Yorda. though yet i CAN understand that desire in THIs world!
me, i am exploring about it. of course the thought of it is completeyl AWWWEEEEsome, and some. and it is one thing intellectualizing about it, and actually being faced with it.
shit, we have been spun so many stories. imagine how Catholics, and fundys feel about death. about the possibility of EVERLASING HELLLLL! how many people over the centruies have approached death with THAT worry? sweet be jeeezsus! it's a crime!
deeath is taboo in our culture. even people with terminal illnesses cant get PERMISSION-for fuks sake-to DIE! so there's this idea we should cling to life no matter what. and this in a supposedly 'athiestic secualr culture.....(anyone got any ideas about that??)...i feel that death is te great power the powers that be have over us. and why they have demonized it over the years
earth pagans believed death was a return to the Mother from which one became regenerated again into new life
i amalso curious about the athiests here. when they say 'whaen yer dead yer dead' what do you mean? that you wont EVEr be aware no more?...if you know what i mean

BRING IT ON
BRING IT ON
I don't particularly fear my own death, but I very much fear the prospect (certainty, really) of my loved ones dying. Well, it's not so much "fear" as a deep, devastating sadness whenever I contemplate the fact that, once they are gone, they will be gone for good. Just the fucking thought alone has had me crying like a little girl on occasion, wishing to high heaven that I believed in some kind of afterlife where I could at least meet, from time to time, the ones that matter to me. Since it's likely that I won't be the first to go, at some point I will have to actually deal with that irreversible loss. And that, my friends, is going to hurt like a bitch.
So, basically, this whole death business can only keep me down while I'm alive and thinking about it. Hence, I'd like to thank spidergoat for starting this thread. It has made my day. ( )
Edited to add: It seems I'll have to vote "yes", after all, seeing as there is no "I fear the implications of death" option in the poll.
