I don't believe death is the end, but I have no idea as to what happens afterward. I think it would be cool if death were there to collect me. I like to think of death as similar to the character from the movie Meet Joe Black.

Eh, it doesn't make sense for it to "end" at death. The only reason we think it ends is that we can't see beyond that point. Exactly how we thought the world "ended".
That's why religion is such a nice idea to so many people. So they don't have to worry about what happens afterward.

I don't know whats out there, but the idea that nothing happens after death, doesn't scare me as much as I think it should.

I hope it's more like the character from Family Guy.

My thoughts on death?

Simply put: I do not care.

Toward this issue I am completely apathetic.

Simply put: I will deal with it when I have to. No sooner.

I know to start off that there have been a few recent death threads but this one is and I assure you different. I am asking about ANY views at all you have on death. No restrictions(except language, please be considerate) just anything.

This thread is also sparked somewhat by 'On A Pale Horse' by Piers Anthony. It deals with Death as an office that is held by a person. It's really quite an amazing book. If anybody AT ALL has read any of the 'Incarnations of Immortality' series please let me know.
Well I'm not dead so I wouldn't know....

Death is the meaning of life...or rather without death there would be no meaning to life...you would just live on and on without a purpose. Your aspiration should be to be able to say "i had a good and happy life and don't regret anything" when you die not "oh shit oh shit i'm dying no no no i wasted all my life beeing scared of the inevitable"

My views? Well Death is the second most awesome character in Terry Pratchett's Discworld series (only topped by Carrot).

I kid I kid. My views on death are quite simple: I have no idea. Nor do I beleive anything whatsoever. I don't know what will happen, if there even is a "me" after I die. I don't know, but I don't really care. We'll see after death, íf there is anything to see after death, and íf our personalities aren't gone.

Death is but another aspect of life, and only in accepting it do we rest its control from the rest of our lives.

Death..hmm, tricky subject, and always will be. Unless someone who physically dies, and then is brought back to life after a week, we will never know what is after death.

In my opinion, meh...

No, he doesn't. He can never remember how the little horse-shaped ones are supposed to move.

if i'm brutaly honest, the idea of death is terrifying to me. people say "i don't fear death, i fear the dying", to them i say: "so you don't fear the prospect of oblivion?"

the idea of dying is scary, because you effectivly have to suffer your body shutting down and ceasing all functions, unless you're fortunate enough to die in your sleep, and who wouldn't be afraid of that?
the idea of being dead terrifies me, because no matter what religeon or belifes you may or may not have, you still have to face the oblivion that comes after.

some people who hold to the idea of reincarnation say that yound children are able to remember things or do things that they have never been told, or done or whatever, and that these memories come from their past lives. but if this is true, when they grow up; they can't remember, or lose this knowledge, so carry on like a normal person, but if this is true, then the person they used to be has been through the oblivion, and been lost.
my biggest fear of death, is losing everything that i am, effectivly being switched of. even if my "soul" goes through the recycling process, when i next get incarnated, then i won't be me, i won't be who i was, and i'll have to go through the whole experience again

Dosent bother me anymore, I die I loose conciousness one way or another whatever perception of fear I have would fade just as quickly as my life. Its actualy not all that terrifying ot me as I imagine it will be exactly like the time I went in for an operation anyone whos been put under heavy anesthetic will know what I mean slipping out of conciousness and then nothing it really wasnt that bad only no waking up the next time heh.

Ou You're all like "I'm not afraid of death" But I bet you wouldn't be like that if it was staring you in the face.

So yea I'm scared of death.

For me, death is a necessary evil. If no one ever died of old age, the planet would become hopelessly over-crowded and we'd die of war and hunger instead, and probably take the ecosystem with us.
But if no one died of old age, we would not reproduce at such a high rate. Our biology would have taken that into account.

Edit: On Topic: I hope it all ends at death. I am not into the whole spiritual thing, and it wouldn't make sense for there to be anything after death as we are all just clusters of atoms and chemical reactions.
