LordReed:
For me fear is not the correct word. More like trepidation, mainly because death is something of an unknown quantity even though I mentally understand the finality of it. Death is inevitable but I don't want to die now because there are things I want to live to see, things I want to participate in when the time comes and goals I want to achieve for my own satisfaction.

TheSourcerer:
I see death as sleeping and waking up a baby some other generations after ,


Death I believe is a Transition , the idea of the fear of death I dont understand

Roots in oral /religious traditions maybe , but then again why does the basic instinct fear death


Deers run immediately seeing a pride of lions
A puppy or 2 weeks (never known death ) left alone in a chicken pen would decapitated all before morning.



Is death not something normal , natural and not to be feared because it is unknown?


Merry Christmas Reed.

Maj196:
I get the jitters when I remember that one day I will cease to exist. It's not a good feeling

theFilmtric:
I kinda like the idea of dying
Its the pain in the process I hate

TheSourcerer:
why if you know it will certainly come ,and suddenly even so it could be anytime yes ? So why do you still fear death ?
How's the Christmas going for you so far?

TheSourcerer:
is pain not necessary for everything thing good to come to you? So why again do you fear death , it's not the pain

oscarsam:
The only person who is not afraid of death and as well will whole heatedly embrace it when it comes knocking are mainly people with no beautiful memories as they journey through life.

CAPSLOCKED:


I OBJECT.
I'VE GOTTEN USED TO THE FACT THAT WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE AND WHILE WE'RE ALIVE, EVERYTHING WE DO IS A COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME, AND WHATEVER WE ARE OR HAVE ACCOMPLISHED STOPS COUNTING FOR USE THE VERY MOMENT WE CEASE TO BREATHE.

FROM THE TIME WE'RE BORN WE PREPARE TO DIE SINCE IT'S INEVITABLE, SO WE AREN'T REALLY LIVING, BUT DYING. YOUR BEAUTIFUL MEMORIES AND WHATEVER EXPERIENCES ARE INVALID ONCE YOU'RE IN DEEP SLEEP NOT TO TALK OF WHEN YOU'RE DEAD.

PEOPLE WITH MY MINDSET JUST LIVE FOR THEIR FAMILY AND FRIENDS, AND TRY TO STAY ALIVE TO KEEP DOING ALL THESE IRRELEVANT HUMAN ACTIVITIES JUST BECAUSE OTHER LIVING PEOPLE DO THEM.

I HAVE NEVER BEEN AFRAID TO DIE. I JUST DON'T WANT TO EXPERIENCE PHYSICAL PAIN BEFOREHAND. NOT THE FIRST, WON'T BE THE LAST. AND SINCE THERE'S NO PROVEN AFTERLIFE WHAT'S HERE FOR ANY OF US TO LOSE?
NOTHING. WHEN YOU'RE DEAD YOU'RE NOTHING.

oscarsam:



I believe you agree with me that there's life after death.

CAPSLOCKED:


NO, I DO NOT AGREE WITH YOU. I'M NOT A BELIEVER OF ANY RELIGION, AS ONLY BELIEVERS ARE CAPABLE OF WHOLEHEARTEDLY SUBSCRIBING TO RIDICULOUS NONSENSES.

oscarsam:


Then in this sense, you mean that life came out of nothing and as well we do not exist, as something cannot come out of nothing?

Nevertheless, you've not answered the question i asked as regards to learning and driving a car.

CAPSLOCKED:


YOUR CAR QUESTION MADE NO SENSE TO ME SO I HAVE NOTHING TO REPLY YOU.
ALSO, I HAVEN'T CLAIMED THAT LIFE CAME FROM NOTHING. I SIMPLY DO NOT KNOW WHERE WE CAME FROM OR WHERE WE GO FROM HERE. NOBODY CAN CLAIM TO HAVE THIS KNOWLEDGE, SO IT'S DEFINITELY NONE OF MY CONCERN.

oscarsam:



I would have loved to help you have a real encounter so you yourself will believe.

However, just know that a man who has no believe in anything should be feared
peace out ...

It’s comedic how you morons come up with this nonsense that anyone who doesn’t believe in your God does not believe in anything.

Apparently, your God is everything to you, which explains a lot about why many of you are dangerous and mad.

CAPSLOCKED:


YOU WOULD LOVE TO HELP ME HAVE A REAL ENCOUNTER WITH THE AFTERLIFE SO THAT I WILL BELIEVE IN THE AFTERLIFE?
ARE YOU INSANE?



THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE LIKE US WHO BELIEVE REAL THINGS INSTEAD OF MADE UP IDEAS AND IMAGINATIONS. THERE IS NO NEED TO FEAR ME. RATHER FEAR THOSE PEOPLE LIKE YOU WHO BELIEVE AND WHOLLY ACCEPT THAT AN INVISIBLE AND MUTE BEING EXISTS UP ABOVE, AND CARES FOR THEM, LISTENS TO THEM, PROVIDES FOR THEM AND DEMAND CONSTANT WORSHIP FROM THEM SO THAT WHEN THEY DIE, THEY'LL JOIN HIM IN THIS INVISIBLE, UNKNOWN PLACE HE HAS PREPARED FOR THEM TO LIVE IN, AND SING PRAISES TO HIM TILL INFINITY.

LotaTee:
The op asked a sensible question and I was looking forward to various contributions from different people but it's sad to see what this thread has degenerated to.
