Problem dealing with death as an atheist

RE: Problem dealing with death as an atheist
Quote:There are much worse things than death. Would you want to live forever if you were incapable of taking care of yourself? If all you could do was lie in a bed and have someone feed you, wash you and wipe your ass??
Good point. I swear if I ever came to that or close to it, I would ask a favour from a very hot lass.
I'd ask her to have me in a headsicssor hold (where she raps her thighs around your neck and squeezes the life out of you). I ask her to keep squeezing long after I've passed out, in other words, keep squeezing till death. Nice way to go, crushed to death by girls legs. Big Grin

Back to topic, as much as I love life and the desire to live on for so many years, I would like there to be an end at some point. Never ending afterlife would be hell for me. So when religion offers such things, I do not find it very appealing. I won't mind being dead, I won't even know I'm dead. What I am afraid of is how I'll die, when and all those I love that I would end up leaving behind. Death itself does not worry me, well a little seeing as I haven't lived enough of my life yet. But when I'm old and useless, I'd have no problem with being dead. I see it as joining the many who have lived before, forever rest where there is no pain, no worry, no enemy, no lust for revenge, nothing. To be among the billions of those who have passed away. Time will pass by the billions of years as it would no longer have any meaning to you. You'll be beyond time and space.

I've chosen to be cremated for some pretty good reasons. Cremated and my ashes thrown into the ocean. I don't want to be buried, so that those I've left behind can't say that I'm at some dull cemetery, not one single place to point at. Instead if they ask where I'm at, they can say that I'm everywhere. Because I really would be everywhere. Most of me would of been converted into heat energy, and what's left would circle the oceans and sky. I won't be at one boring place, I'll be everywhere. A much better idea than being in a rotting box 6 feet under ground. :p
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.

Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.

You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
