Currently being an agnostic, death scares the hell out of me. Ceasing to live is a concept that I can not grasp, and I can't imagine anyone else can imagine either. At times I wish I believed in Jesus Christ as my savior. It would make things a lot easier wouldn't it?

It's not death that scares me; it's the abrupt stop at the end of life that does.

Take it easy!

Do you remember what it was like before you were born?

That's what being dead is like.

Hasn't really crossed my mind. I don't worry every day about walking around and getting run over, or something blowing up and killing me, I'm the person who thinks I'll die when I'm old, so there's nothing to fear at the moment.

I guess i'm not really scared of death much, cause It's going to happen. No reason to go through life being scared of something that is inevitable.

I think the only thing that makes me sad when i think about it is my son. I wish i could watch him grow up forever...and his children. I hope i stick around long enough to see my great grandchildren. My grandmother did and she was so happy the few years she got to spend with my son.

He who lives in fear of death will never really live.


I'll keel over sometime, might be soon, might not. I'm not afraid of being dead, I do hope dying is short and painless though.

Nope. When it happens it happens. I just want to make sure I have fun and enjoy myself while I am here.

Why be scared? Maybe of the pain involved if that happens but.............

Just another adventure or an end to everything and you will not be aware of it anyway.

Im scared of not dying with the most toys! :D

Not anymore. A couple of years ago I came to a realization that no matter what a person does, they WILL die. I know that's obvious, but some people for whatever reasons don't acknowledge it. Ever since then, I haven't been afraid of death. I know I WILL die, so what's there to be afraid of?
