Now, before i get slated, i am of the opinion that when you're dead, that's it.
Let think about things around us and ponder:-
How does a plant grow with no organs or blood?
How does a computer microchip work?
How does a plane stay in the sky?
How does something as heavy as a ship stay afloat?
How can you text someone 12,000 miles away and get an instant reply?
How does the human brain work in co-ordination with the eye?
The above list could go on & on as we take for granted things around us, but, for every question there are Professors, Scientists, teachers & alike who can explain computers, satellites & gravity etc.
The one thing, however, that no living being can ever explain or certainly prove, is how we all got here. Contrast that with how it all ends and there lies 2 unanswerable conundrums.
So, by the fact that we can't begin to understand the beginning, should we be so dismissive about the end?
Maybe, just maybe, the magic continues?

I made a similar comment in my previous life. When I was krill.Originally Posted by blueblade
No, you've got an immortal soul, and your human lifetime is just a small part of it.
God created you, and everything else.
- that's to the point because we'll get a lot of little kids wanting to argue the toss about it, which I don't intend to do.
Which one? Gilgamesh? Kumari? Hebat?
Farage probably
Or Rees-Mogg, blessings be upon him.
We are stardust.
No one has ever come back to tell us it'll all be OK. (Except Jesus lol allegedly)
When my son first started talking he told me and his mum, that he had a sister who lived in NYC who was 80 year old he said it once and never said it again we were amazed and laughed but it did make us think.
'Na na na na na I can't hear you' is definitely the normal tactic of an intellectual.
His name's not Damien is it?

Very interesting book on the subject

Slightly off topic but are people without faith scared of death?
I'm an atheist but my mother was a Christian and she died the year before last and we never really talked about it because of our polar opposite beliefs. If people believe that's cool, I don't see the point in questioning them the same way that I don't wan't people knocking on my door.
I'm not afraid of dying but will be sad to leave everything behind (ie my children)
How did your mother approach her death? (Assuming that it was not sudden).
I'm not afraid of death, I just don't want to be there when it happens. (Woody Allen)
It would be great, but its the old circles within circles argument, if God created everything, who created god?
We are immeasurably lucky to be here, and we should enjoy as much of it as we can, well except last saturdays shite performance.
Our approach to death will vary depending on the individual and the circumstances. When we are full of vigour and enjoying death wouldn't be welcome but if illness, old age and increasing and crushing decrepitude reduce us to a mere husk of what we once were some people may look forward to the release it brings.
gilgamesh was a king, not a deity
True - but his name is entwined with religious myths and the like.
She was quite relaxed about it. Obviously got scared and upset at times but that was about simply not wanting it to happen and leaving behind a family and in particular a young son.
Do you think her Christian faith helped her with this?
Sadly there are an increasing number of elderly people who are, as you say, mere husks of what they were but for whom death is not an option. This is the fate I fear the most, much more than death itself.
Yes.
