How are you not afraid of death and what comes after it?

 

[EternalShore]

Many people here are strict atheists (in polls, ~50% have claimed to be atheists and ~25% have claimed to be agnostics~) and believe that God is an impossibility, and that there will be nothingness awaiting them after they sewer slide~ I've heard people here state that this this life is far more of a hell than anything that may await them after~
A Christian may have the hope that because Jesus died for them, that they may be saved~ altho, one may still worry whether they are saved or not~
Others here believe in reincarnation, so they would just be here again but in a different, preferably luckier form I suppose~ :)

 

[Rynalia]

Can't be bothered.

My whole life is a hodgepodge of uncertainty and unknowns. I've learned to just not think about it or care.

It takes too much energy and doesn't do anything beneficial for me in the long run. I value what little battery I have, so I'm not going to waste it on things that will drain it faster for no good reason.

Plus, getting into silly discussions with people about what ifs and what could bes is just asking for a headache. People get way too passionate and it gives me headaches the moment it shifts from a discussion to an argument or an attempt at persuasion. Miss me.

 

[_Maya]

Like what Rynalia said, i just can't be bothered.
I don't care if i go to hell, heaven, or a pitch black void full of nothingness. I just don't want to be here anymore.

 

[Namelesa]

I am just not afraid of death cus of thinking after it is just eternal non-existence which to me sounds like the best thing as then I don't have to feel, do, fear or desire anything. I just think this will happen as to me its the most logical thing due to what we know now. A lot of me believing this for certain is honestly due to what some members have said which has convinced me of this.

i also do believe in reincarnation and it is an endless hell

 

[blissfulness]

my current choice of hanging shouldn't be too painful, given i do it properly, and my personal belief of "nothingness" after death seems very appealing. I also have faith of what may or may not happen after death couldn't be worse than my burdens.

 

[likelyonthespectrum]

Our lives are just a small blip compared to the universe's timeline. We didn't exist for millions of years before this, and we don't remember any of it. I imagine death is similar, it's just a longer sleep. I'm not an atheist though, I do believe in a higher being, one most closely aligned with Christianity. I just don't assume they have our best interests in mind. If that higher being sees self-deletion as entirely wrong and decides to punish me eternally for it, then so be it.

 

[Malfunction]

Stopped caring.

I'm not afraid to die, I'm afraid to screw up.

I don't think there's anything waiting for me. When I turn off the lights, the show is over.

great thinking

 

[Forever Sleep]

I am afraid but then- it's coming for us, one way or another. I'm more afraid of the dying process. That's more of a guaranteed experience. The afterlife or nothingness is all unknowns. While that troubles me, I'm more distracted by the things we do know about. That dying itself will likely be painful and frightening.

 

[eupdplishlp]

How are you not afraid of death and what comes after it?

watching documentys about near death experiences really helped me they do scientific studies that help understand

 

[Forveleth]

Death is coming for all of us anyway. Why fear what you can not avoid? It leads to a life of dread.

 

[Sprite_Geist]

I am not afraid of dying; I am afraid of living a life that I do not want. The only issue I have with death, is that it might come before I have completed any tasks that I need to; the process is not scary just the timing.

 

[unluckysadness]

i'm not afraid of death. i'm afraid of life. i believe in afterlife, so it's easier for me. i just wish i don't wake up one morning. i think i'm prepared to go

 

[FuneralCry]

I don't, existing is all I fear instead, it terrifies me how there is no limit as to how much one can suffer in this existence I always saw as the most terrible, tragic mistake, to me existence really is an abomination and I suffer simply from being conscious.

For me non-existence is just the only peace from the dreadful and torturous burden of existence that was so tragically imposed that just causes and brings so much suffering there was never a need for at all. I wish I never suffered more than anything and I'd just always prefer to not exist than suffer in this futile, cruel existence I never would had chosen just to die in agony from old age, for me non-existence is all that's desirable, I just want to never suffer ever again.

 

[eattwinkiesseejesus]

Im terrified, Christians don't exactly view suicide lightly.
But the flesh is stronger than the will of the soul

 

[thelastmessiah]

I hope dying/death is like what is depicted in this video. I'm afraid of life and death, with the likely trajectory of my life being isolation and poverty hopefully my fear of mortal suffering will outweigh my fear of death eventually.

 

[secretghost]

I just think I won't notice, care, or remember, once I do it

I tried partial. It is painful

 

[blissfulness]

I tried partial. It is painful

if you don't mind me asking, in what way was it painful? i'm going to do full suspension, but my head keeps feeling like it's going to explode, so i'm probably not getting the cartioid properly, even though i can feel it easily

 

[digitalblackhole]

I'm extremely terrified. I think about what it'll be like putting the gun to my head and pulling the trigger, but I'm not scared of eternal nothingness or an afterlife. What I'm scared of is being reborn into a life worse than my current one. The Christian interpretation of the afterlife is also pretty terrifying since there's no shot I get into heaven.

 

[bluesadness]

Gun is best of course

if you don't mind me asking, in what way was it painful? i'm going to do full suspension, but my head keeps feeling like it's going to explode, so i'm probably not getting the cartioid properly, even though i can feel it easily

Yes feels like head going to explode

 

[CTB set me free]

I tried partial. It is painful

I think there were quite a few kids that died by partial hanging playing the "passout game" and they probably didn't feel much pain if the passed out quickly I would imagine. I could be wrong though.

How to do properly??

 

[starboy2k]

death is inevitable whether you want to CTB or not. the sooner you get over that fear, the easier it becomes to want to explore more than the shitty reality you were thrusted upon to by your irresponsible, baby conceiving ass parents. we will all die, some just want it sooner than others

Well, real Christianity is based on the Bible and it never really specifies what happens to someone who commits suicide. Sampson technically committed suicide by bringing down the pillars of the building he was in to destroy his enemies. Judas hung himself after feeling ashamed for giving Jesus up to the Romans. Jesus said he couldn't be crucified if he did not choose to do so, so you could say it was a passive suicide. Jesus also said Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it. So if you kill yourself for Jesus, will you have eternal life in heaven? The Bible speaks of a time when you will be forced to choose the evil of the world and live, or to choose Jesus and be beheaded. That's basically suicide to knowingly choosing something that will get you killed. Also The Bible says If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. I'm pretty sure those who kill themselves certainly don't love the world. Just some thoughts.

How to do properly??

I could never find out specifics, I just remember of some kids hanging from door nobs trying to pass out and ending up dead. They must have pressed the carotid artery really well.

 

[darksouls]

i also do believe in reincarnation and it is an endless hell

same here

 

[LigottiIsRight]

All the knowledge that we have about the world points in the direction that there's nothing after we die, our conscious experience (that is basically what we are) is switched off forever. So there's no state to be afraid of after death.
It's usual to be scared of that 'nothingness' when we think about it, but that's only because it's impossible to picture such state: because it's no state at all. We can't imagine what's like to be dead, to not exist, and such impairment of imagination is what scares us in those cases. It's absurd to try to picture yourself unconscious forever: there's no you.

 

[R. A.]

fucking terrified of dying - not of being dead - and hate that i have to go through the former to get to the latter.
