Well, right off the bat, I don't have a collection of prescription drugs. (Yet)

I have heard that living memory only lasts three generations. That is, that you will remember your mother and grandmother, but it is unlikely that you will remember your great-grandmother, and almost certain that you won't have any memories of a great-great-grandmother. I am happy to live on in the memory of my child, and strive now to make sure I am remembered well. I wish you the same, thank you.

The Pope says Aliens are our saviors. I'm comfortable with that or reincarnation. Noboby has come back from the spirit world to give us the correct answer.

I don't fear death, just don't want to be there when it happens.

I guess I would say I hold no claim to religion, and I can still be uncertain as to what is and what isn't? To the point, without believing in god, I can still have a whole brain full of questions about the nature of life and death, and I can still be curious as to how other people approach it. I think it's rather important actually. You disagree?

@Patrick You believe what you believe. I find your approach to be confused but if it works for you more power to you. Sooner or later you'll accept atheism in full and the fog will clear.

@Sgt_Spanky Yeah, I'm confused, always have been. It's the people who are certain that frighten me. Thank you for the comments.

If I was judgemental and nasty it wasn't my original intent, but I may have gotten a little riled. I apologize.

@Patrick if you cannot see what it Clearly was 8ntended to be, I doubt your judgement AND your veracity

sorry about the typo's - the cat is sitting on my lap as I try to type hahahahahha

You been reading Dale Carnegies book then ?. How to win friends and influence people.

We suck because you aren’t good with all of this yet? You’re the one with the questions about the end. I came to terms with that when I was a teenager. It doesn’t even warrant time to think about anymore

So go ahead and post this on Facebook for the sheep to give you the answer you want to hear so you can feel good about yourself and your ridiculous fears.

Check out Unitarian Universalism. Many of them, the ones who do believe in some kind of afterlife, believe there is no hell and that everyone gets into heaven. That is a doctrine that came from the Universalists, who merged their denomination with the Unitarians in 1961.

Just a little too literal there friend!

That means you just don't think about it right?

@Patrick I don’t think about it because it doesn’t exist.

@darthfaja Fair enough.

First legitimate response I've seen so far, thank you.

@Patrick your responses are pretentious.
It seems that you assume because you may having that nagging question.

Most of us here do not.
You keep pushing everyone like you know differently.

There is no higher power man
Therefore no afterlife
Therefor no salvation

Even if there was I wouldn’t worry
I’m not trading my dignity to pray for some fucking dick head in the sky running an ant farm
Fuck that
I’ll hang in Hell with the hookers and the cool people

I hope so too, you really think it won't be on your mind though? Not in the least? Uff, you're hard core. Thanks.

@Patrick Not the first time I've been called hard core, but it's usually been about another subject or other times being called hard-headed.

@Patrick , I think you are referring to the actual dying part. Most of us are not looking forward to that. But the being dead part is not a problem for me. Euthanasia should be legal for terminal patients who want it.

Just like that huh? Not even a remote little thing way back in your mind, just kind of nagging a teensy little bit...?

@Patrick To the same extent I'll be thinking about what Ganesha has in store for me when I die.

@Piratefish
I know you aren't looking to Ganesha. I'm sorry, I was reactionary. Thank you for your comments.

@Patrick It's all good. Just my way of saying that I won't be at all concerned about ancient mythology and fairytales when it is my turn to die. Any more than I currently lie awake at night worrying about what Santa Claus is going to bring me on December 25th.

@LimitedLight I oftentimes envy those who were never indoctrinated into a faith. I am always curious as to how it would effect my perception of the world if I had that ethos, instead of the one I labor under now. If I could go back now and re-write my post, I would omit the word "salvation", and leave it at "comfort". Thank you for the kind advice.

@Patrick I know what you mean. I was raised in a very religious family; son of a pastor and went to Christian schools through high school. I was thoroughly indoctrinated by the time I was 18. But I have used an open mind and education to figure things out for myself now, and I am extremely confident that religions are purely a man-made phenomena. I am not at all worried about what will happen to me after I die. I suspect it will be exactly the same as the billions of years before I was born - I won't know anything, and I won't care, either.
