I think I may have an irrational fear of death, to be honest. Mostly related to anxiety. Every twinge in my body is received as a notion to die. I'm scared because I believe there is nothing once we die. Once our time is up, we die, we cease to exist, it's like falling asleep and never waking up. It's not morbid though, it's human nature. I'm still awake at 2AM because regardless of the fact that I start my new job at 9AM, I have no doubt I will be able to awake from sleep. But I doubt that tomorrow will ever exist for me. Which makes me think I couldn't care less for what might be tomorrow. I just want to live now. Side: yes

Casper I believe what you said would be true of her being afraid of death, because if there is nothing...what is to be afraid of...except how you would die. I am not convinced that she is convinced there is nothing however. I think if she were honest she would say she was not sure. Do you know for sure that there is nothing? Side: No

Many people do who do not believe God exists. I believe that my life will really start when I die. When you think there is nothing beyond earthy life...I can see why it is scary. We worry about what will happen especially to our children and who will take care of them and what kind of a life will they have. My kids are older and I still worry about this aspect. Now I have grandkids and I worry about them too. Its human nature, but you have to keep it in control. I know that all this did not happen just to happen. We have souls...and I don't believe that we were just born to die. It is sad that you live in fear...many people do. Fear of death, health issues, money...but it is robbing you of the life you are meant to have. You have to concentrate on the positives...and I know that big positive is your daughter. Your fear will affect her. Sure you want to live today...but if we only lived for today...no future could happen. We couldnt provide for our families, etc.... Side: No
i think everyone is afraid of death. when it isn't right in front of you it is easy to say you aren't afraid but if someone put a gun to your head and said you were going to die you would be a fool not to be afraid. people are afraid of the unknown and little is known about what happens after you die.

"And I am not frightened of dying, any time will do, I don't mind. Why should I be frightened of dying? There's no reason for it, you've gotta go sometime." "I never said I was frightened of dying." "If you hear this you're dying." http://www.youtube.com/ Side: No
I'm not afraid of death itself. It seems most likely that death is simply permanent unconsciousness. That's not scary or unpleasant at all; it's just... nothing. Literally. I'll regret having to die, because it means I won't be able to do all the stuff I enjoy doing, but I don't fear it. I'm afraid of the process of dying though - afraid that it'll be painful, gross, just generally horrible. If I end up with some debilitating terminal illness, I'll probably go straight for the euthanasia option if it exists. EDIT: omg. Peekaboo(666) - my 666th post is about death! It wasn't deliberate o_o Side: No

Personally...I would say no I am not afraid of death. Do I hate the idea and the fact that at any day it may come? Yes, I despise it with everything I have within my being. I think on the subject of death usually when I come to the subject of immortality, they just seem to go hand in hand in my mind as I believe should be expected. The most I can hope to do is live a life that I am proud of, that I am willing to share with others. "Let whatever events crop up come to pass." -William Shakespeare Side: No

No not at all. I have been blessed beyond measure and I know if God took me this very moment that would be fine. Sure I would miss a lot but not more than I have recieved. Who likes to feel pain...not me. But pain both emotionally and physically is part of living. The scriptures tell me to count my trials as joy that suffering develops perseverance. Side: No
