Are You Scared Of Dying?
124 Answers
My mum who has terminal cancer, had mapped her funeral arrangements out long ago and it required a religious ceremony. Prayers, Hymns etc. But after been allowed to attend the cremation of my brother in law...as one of the 10 people allowed at the start of lockdown...she has since changed her mind. My BIL had a humanist funeral and my mother found it beautiful, simple and to the point. She has since changed her request from a religious ceremony to a humanist one.
No religious claptrap spouted by a priest/vicar etc about living again in some etheral realm.
Just a simple accaptance that all things must die.
She seems more at peace with that, than this idea that we will live again after death.
Its unavoidable that we all must die, faith or no faith!
Ironically, as a young christian, I was terrified of dying.
As an atheist, Im not.
It seems to me that its the terminal religious that are most afraid.
To me death is nothing more than a return to the state of being before conception...nothingness!
Still try to make the most out of existance, but nothingness is not to be afraid of.
Like been in Non-REM sleep. Nothingness.

Many see God as an eternal punisher and no more, so prefer to put Him out of their minds.

All you have to do is accept the free gift of forgiveness that He offers you, as Christ died and took our punishment for us, to satisfy Gods perfect justice.
He is only a prayer away.
Invite Him into your life right now.
That is the gospel.
Its as simple as that.

Theland, this is what you said about Billy Graham just a few days ago.
//Billy Graham somebody said?
No, not me, never been a fan, too compromising.
Also, the money preachers are a criminal disgrace.//
Why are you using his organisation to aid you in your incessant preaching? Always the hypocrite, Theland.
Theland to Vulcan, //If you are going to hell, why try to take anybody with you?//
You are a dangerous man, Theland, promoting an evil philosophy. If hell exists, as my idea of Christianity goes, I’d hazard a guess that you’re a more likely candidate for permanent residency.
