Feelings towards death and afterlife

[Enmos]

i am american.
america is the only place on earth where death is optional.
that should sum it up nicely.

How is that ? I can blow my brains out anytime I want..

and there you go. you chose the "shotgun" option.

i was referring to americans seeming to think that life goes on forever, never really dealing with death until it is imminent.

Ok I get that, but to say 'America is the only place on earth where death is optional' doesn't seem correct.

Since some don't even bother to read the first post before replying (off topic posts deleted), I'll make it in big and bold:

What are the feelings towards death in your culture, society, tribe?
Not individual you, but your society in general.

Pooof! Your dead. Get cremated. Go to hell or wherever. American society.

In essence, we were a nation under God.

What does that mean? It sounds like it means nothing.
