Well if I want to get incredibly technical that would mean that fate exists and you'll survive everything else up until that point and time so i'd be going insane doing incredibly dangerous things, probably get into constant gunfights and murders... That would make a cool movie plot.

So If you Die in china and your american. The time you saw at the last clock in china is the time you die. Better hope The clock isnt early then.
And He is all powerful so he can avoid paradoxes like that since Time is subjective.
I honestly would Not want to know but I would try and act like I did if this did happen.
EDIT: He will try his hardest to keep you alive because your diety doesnt like to be wrong.
It would depend on how it would happen. If Death appeared and told me I would be hit by a car in exactly a month, I'd probably stay at home that day.
I would want to know, because my greatest fear of death is the uncertainty of how long I will actually live, how much I will accomplish and leave behind before I die. One great artistic work? Children? A world-altering legacy? Whether nothingness or something awaits me in the end, I can acheive as much as possible in the time alotted. That said, I'd probably need several drinks and about three weeks to recover...
With regard to the last option on the poll,we can already predict the day that we will die to a certain degree of accuracy without need for some 'diety' (which I'm hoping is a pun on 'deity') to tell us. For instance, at 20yrs old I know that my death will more than likely be within the next 100yrs. Using the algorithms designed by life-insurers, I could narrow this figure down a lot more. Most people could figure out an approximate 'date of death' if they really wanted to. The fact that most people don't kind of answers your poll.

Yes, even that one.
I agree with him, by the way. If I knew when I was going to die then I'd be anticipating that moment with dread every second of my life. I most definitely would not want that.
Yeah but I said the Time and time only! FOR EXAMPLE: 2/4/67 at 3:43 in the afternoon and 13 seconds 5 milleseconds.AuntyEthel said:
Plus if he did then obviously a car would fly thru your house and run your cheating ass over. Death is one test you dont want to cheat!
That calculation is only an average, many millions of things could happen to you and this poll is to find out if you would like to know exactly how long you will live. Although is confusing with all the time paradox crap. I mean, knowing when you will die will change your behaviour which will change when you die.Lukeje said:
It seems I failed to read your first sentence, sorry about that. Oh and I voted yes because I would hate for the chance that I spent the last of my life being my lazy annoying self and not you know mended the ties and tricking people into remembering me as awesome.Lukeje said:
Yeah, but I'm just saying that by being extra careful on that exact day/hour/minute, one might be able to avoid it and cause some giant space-time rip. Though if I was meant to be hit by a car, and managed to avoid it, Death would probably immediately make me die of a heart-attack.Shurikens and Lightning said:
No.
When you die your dead and that's an end of it.
Why worry about something you have no influence over?

If it included accidents then I'd totally want to know it. I mean yeah, waiting for the end would be lame but if it was going to be like, in a year, then I'd have the chance to do loads of cool stuff.
