The scary thing is not death itself, nor is it whatever may come after death, but all the things that come before, or, more specifically, the lack thereof. We as humans are terrified that the end will come before we are "ready"; before we've done all that we've intended to do. Only when we stop fearing death and start embracing it as the final chapter of our lives will be begin to truly excel at living.
I believe death can and will be conquered in my lifetime, so I am unafraid of it. Even if it goes unconquered, I still do not fear it for I am making the efforts to live to the fullest every day I can.
No I'm not scared of death because when I die I know I will be in a better place. Heaven is the ultimate prize for people who have to suffer here on earth. It gets much better in heaven.
When I was younger, sure. Now, not so much. I've accepted that either, 1. I am going to live forever due to medical advancements, or 2. I'm going to die having lived my life fully. Either way, I need to live my life as much as possible (agelessness has no value unless you give it such/limited time needs to be spent preciously).
Am I scared of the fact I will die someday? No. Am I scared of dying right now? Yes. Am I happy or sad that I will eventually die? Yes and no. Do I wish I could control how long I live? Yes. Do I wish people could control how long they live? No. Death sucks but living forever could be potentially worse. What I am REALLY afraid of is what I may not be able to leave behind, what I cannot do, and what I won't do in my life.
No, I am not scared of death. Once upon a time, when I was younger and naive I was though. But that seems like forever ago. But now that I am a little older, I no longer fear it. It will happen eventually, so I'd rather not waste time and emotions on fearing something that can't be prevented in the end.
No I am not scared of death because I know where I am going after I die. I will go to heaven because I believe in Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ said whoever believes in Him shall not die but have eternal life (John 3:16)
Your own site agrees with me. It says "Allah was a pagan deity". Notice the past tense. Muslims do not worship the moon god Allah, they worship the omnipotent, omniscient, omnibenevolent creator god Allah.
The first paragraph talks about that the Allah was a pagan deity but if you look below the picture there is the info that proves that Allah is the moon god. I read it and it confirms allah is the moon god.
No, it proves that pagans worshiped a moon god, and that Allah may have come from this god, rather than the Bible. It does not prove that Muslims worship a moon god.
Nope I don't believe in Allah. I believe in Jesus Christ. I don't believe in the Islamic god. I only believe in the Christian God. Allah doesn't exist.
The Quran doesn't say in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. It says Allah. You guys took some stuff out of the Bible and put it into your "Quran".
I said the bible in Arabic says Allah. And we did not take anything from the Bible, there was no Arabic translation of the Bible at the time . Also if you really look at it. It is incredibly different, the way of writing and grammar is very different from the Bible and the qur'an.
If I think about it too much, I get a panicky feeling and feel sick. But only if I think about it too much. I don't "spazz" about it though as the option states. Though I guess if I think about it I am. Though I'm scared of things I don't know, death being one of those things.
Of course, I VERY rarely think about it, because, what's the point? I can't do anything to change it, it'll happen and I can't stop, or change, whatever happens.
YES! OMG, as if you would say no. There is nothing more frightening than ceasing to exist if you ask me. Whenever i think about it, I start spazzing out. It makes you feel so insignificant. You live, you die. 99.999999% of the world will never know that you existed. Regardless of whether you're 'saved' or not, in the end, your whole existence amounted to a whole lot of nothing. That is why I'm scared of death. But I would like to think that I will one day do something that amounts to something, so in a way, death is a great motivator.
I try not to think about it, but I am in a constant fear of death. The thought of just rotting in the ground scares me beyond no belief. So common scientists! Make my life span longer!
YES ! God , Katie why would ask something like that ! Haha no but seriously , I am like....I guess I'm prepared for it , but not really . Because you never know when God could just ....forget to wake you up in the morning ! You wouldnt say bye to ANYONE ! >:I
All fear death, this fear is founded on the genetic level and is the main impetus of life. Just some people in the usual quiet life in the absence of a direct threat to the death do not see this fear (or just do not think about it). When a threat of death, then fear is pushing people away from all the forces of death. But some people are deliberately going to die, suppress the fear of death with an even greater fear than the others (shame, emotional pain, fear for the lives of loved ones, fear of life in tortuous conditions) or to overcome fear in anticipation of what will happiness after death, or at least death will be no worse than having their lives.
