Perfect Vision of Death?
 

This is a little weird to think about but death comes to all of us. When its your turn to go how do you want to leave? Do you believe in Heaven and hell and where would you go? Is there an after-life? There's alot of theories and I want to know what regular people think about death and life...

When you die.....

IT'S OVER

So you beilieve that death is the final step. In completion your soul never continues to burn?

I don't have a soul. Neither do you.

Well that's a new one? I've heard of loosing your soul but how is there life and love if you have no soul?

Love, is in your brain.
And life is in your "essential for life" organs (which is pretty much all of them.

Maybe so. I just don't beleive that no one has a soul. I think everyone starts out with a soul. Whether you keep it or not or whether you believe its there I think that everyone has had a soul.

soul shmoul, when you die you rot in the ground like everything else. what gives us the ability to love and use reason etc. is our more developed upper brain. and when you die, so does it. so there nothing to go on to. but to answer the first question, i want to die quick and with a lot of gusto, like blowing myself up inside a "focus on the family" conference.

Same as everbody else does

As maggot food

Wow... I never noticed how deep and passionate everyone here was... What moving and beautiful ideas of life and death. blowing up in a family conference. this is sick.

*ahem* if i might defend myself, you misunderstood what "focus on the family" meant. there would be no families theres, focus on the family is only middle aged religious hacks on a mission to destroy what fun we might have, because we're living in sin and need to smarten up. itd be a gas for me to take a few of em out in my final hour.

I'm actually going to write a will stating that my funeral must take place on the top of a mountain. Snow will be packed to form a track leading up to the edge of a very very high cliff. The urn holding my ashes will be bolted to my skis, and I will be launched off the cliff by way of small rocket boosters attached to my skis. The sendoff will be accompanied by Styx - Renegade. Then a video screen would be erected, and a compilation of pictures would play as a slideshow of me and my friends and family doing crazy stuff. This would be accompanied by Pixies - where is my mind. Then the beer would be cracked open, and everyone would have a good time and go skiing. Oh, and "heaven is a halfpipe" would be performed by my best friend's band, only he would have to alter the lyrics to apply to skiing and not skating.

I realize that wasn't the answer to the question, but hey, it's cool. As for what happens when we die, my beliefs run more along the lines of reincarnation. Not coming back as another person or animal or something like that, but that our energy is redistributed back into the universe.

Thats a fairly interesting concept since energy is never created nor destroyed, it merely changes forms. But unless your meaning kind of like spiritual energy, you know stuff like your soul, you won't have any energy left to give back to the universe. Because all the energy you have stored up in your body is exhausted when you're cremated and the only energy your ashes will have left is potential energy.

If this is nowhere near what your talking about then don't mind me haha.
Good to see your going out in style by the way:yeah:

Suicide bombing in order to get my 100 virgins from Mohammad

just kidding

Drowning in a pool of Pabst Blue Ribbon

I wouldn't do that anyway, haven't you seen the cartoons? He's run out. Cheap bastard.

I don't know how I want to go out. I definitely don't want a bloody depressing funeral. I want it to be celebratory in some way.

I haven't worked out how I want to go yet, but I'm not going alone.

Plus everybody here can probably guess the next bit...........
















I want to be buried in my car:thumb:

The perfect vision of death? My opinion - as simple and painless as possible. I want to go 'out like a light'. I don't want to burn, drown, be suffocated or strangled. I want to either be hit by a huge moving object and be killed instantly or have a quick heart attack, etc...

maybe shot in the face, really violent. like with a shotgun.

I believe in soul music, the souls of my shoes (except the brown ones which are falling off) and that sole is one of the lamer excuses for edible fish. As far as the other type of soul goes, I don't think it exists. When we die, we die. Some people find this idea uncomfortable and go with some other story to convince themselves that they're never really going to die, not properly because they'll continue somewhere else.

I'd prefer to actually go with what is true rather than feed myself a lie. So I accept that one day I'm going to die and will experience nothing from then on. Accepting reality and then dealing with it? I think this helps you to get everything else in life into proportion.

Then again, I'd probably be described as a devout atheist.

Perfect vision of death? I'd go for swift skydiving accident at the age of 85. The method is quick and fun, the age is old enough to have pissed off your grandchildren plenty and young enough to have avoided a lot of loss of bodily functions.

I don't have one.
Not something I want to think about.
But i don't think there is a god.
So i'm not sure anything happens when you die.
so when you die. You're dead.
It's over.

oh & I don't want to drown :]

The energy from her body would be released at heat energy when its burning during the cremation. The carbon and oxygen in her body cells would come out as mostly carbon dioxide and water, which would then gradually work themselves back into the life-cycle through photosynthesis by plants, water cycle etc. Through the process of plant growth and the consumption of these plants by animals many of the molecules which had originally been part of jibbers body would be incorporated into another animal and thus reincarnation of a certain type. What this would mean she'd come back as I'm not sure...

i want to die in a wrestling ring in front of millions of fans.

Spike Milligan once said he wanted to be buried in a washing machine for archeologists to find in the future, so they would have to come to the conclusion that he had been washed to death.

I quite like the idea of my ashes being put in a firework (rocket) and to go out with one beautiful big explosion, at midnight, on the day of my funeral.

^ Hello, are you alright in there??! :laughing:

Hehe...nice one Luke. :)

If I get buried then I want the words "Either get in, or fuck off" on my headstone.

^ Or if I take you up on the firework thingy, it'll be one of those burning things you sometimes get at the firework display, with the words:

"Nice to have known you, now f**k off and let me rest in peace..." :)

i believe in reincarnation.. and i do think i will come back as whatever god feels i should come back as.. wether its human male/female, or whatever else.. thats like how owen hart died in the ring in 1999.... remember.. but well for his fans i doubt that was such a good thing.. you know to watch him die.. but he died doing what he loved.. or died right before he was going to do what he loved.. (long time ago.. memory is a bit off)

I don't believe in reincarnation, I believe that one life is all we get, so people don't **** it up. :)

dying while doing what you love is the only way to go.

I either want to die something crazy and wild like one side of my personality or romantic and beautiful like the other side. Either way i want to die on a beach. 1) get sturck by lightning on the beach with my love 2) be really old and lounging in a chair at sunset with my love on the beach where I first... yeah.

You had some hope but you lost all possible respect from me. This is a music forum not "brag about what sexual actions you have done/want to do" if you aren't going to talk about music then go tell the few people that care and leave.


I would die, nothing more nothing less. Maybe doing something I liked or hated. Either way I would be dead and how it happened wouldn't matter because I wouldn't be able to tell the story.

Yeah... I don't think you really get it. That's okay though. Its not your obligation to respect me or even treat me human. Because I honestly will not treat you any better than you feel you should treat me. Just so we have that clear. And you telling me that you have no respect for me does not bring me down at all. So if that was your goal you might want to take a different approach.

I wanna go out with a bang. But meh. Ill probably settle for jumping anyway. Im not suicidal or anything, afore anyone gets all "LOLZ SUICIDAL TEEN LOL" and crap, I just dont wanna pass away quietly. I also came to the conclusion long ago that if I ever get a terminal illness, Im ending it before I have to go through any painful tests/procedures only to prolong my sickened life by a few years.

And, afterlife. Feck knows what happens... You die, we go some place else, no idea where, but its not like we'll just... dissappear. Pure nothingness is something I cant get my head around, it just seems logical to me we'll all end up someplace else afterwards.

Im going to set myself on fire on stage during my bands's final concert, if its when im in my 40s that is and counting on my band getting somewhere...

"Upon dying, I would prefer to go to hell. It is not that I do not worship the Lord, it is just that in heaven, I would be in the company of peasants and paupers, while in hell, I would be with kings, popes, and lawyers."

Niccolo Machiavelli.




Heaven G, I cant wait to see all the saints.

This may be presumptious and arrogant of me, but im not going to stop now.

Forgive the psuedo-intellectual kingpins posturing with words and pretending to have the answers. When your whole life is a bull**** lie composed of affected theory, you couldn't possible know what a soul was/is and you'd never have the ability to feel it.

I don't pretend to know whats next, and I don't listen to what everyone cowers behind to make themselves feel better at the days end. I can feel my soul now and again, I know its there, our inability to directly see or test things in a lab doesn't mean its preposterous to believe.

As for heaven, well I don't pretend to know what its like, but unless I've been severly limited in my understanding things here on earth, our conventional understanding of heavon wouldn't be. Contrast is what gives us the ability to feel the heights of passion and joy. Civil and personal harmony is a dead zone that I wouldn't wish anything to live in.

A perfect death for me would be quick and painless. A perfect death for everyone I loved would be prolonged over months, so they would come to grips with what was happening.

Depends on how you look at it I guess.

Question:

when someone die's do you all think they lose there soul's?

Agreed with that, pretty much. But then half the people out there are so damn spoonfed by everything nowadays that they take it all for granted and don't notice the good they have. I guess their heaven really would be just perfect with no quirks. Only way they'd appreciate the good, I suppose. But whatever anyway, heaven is total bollocks in my mind. If it had existed, everyone would have their own idea of heaven, therefore it would just be all a figment of yer imagination.
Prolonged death is awful. I cant stand the thought of it , not one little bit. Every time a loved one leaves your side , you'd be thinking how you might never get to see them again. Youd be on the verge of a nervous breakdown practically ever day.

Souls dont die. Theyre not biological.
My theory anyway. I like it.

I'm not sure I believe in heaven, but a part of me does.
So.....I wanna go out with a bang. Murder would be interesting.

i'm 100% sure this will sound strange to all of you. but when my mothers water broke she wouldn't go to the hospital right away she wanted to wait till super was all cooked and out of the oven.. (hardcore house wife at 21) anyways.. and the cord was wrapped around my neck which she didn't know clearly.. well she get's to the hospital and the doctor is checking to see how things are going.. how much longer he will wait before its time for her to give birth.. and the they almost had to do a sea section. when i came out, i was blue yet white as snow is areas, and i wasn't breathing, and i came out feet first.. (i really wasn't suppose to be here) and the doctors held me by my feet after the cord was cut and hit my back (like there suppose to in those situations) and i wouldn't start to breathe.. anyways he did this a few times. then the doctor says thats it and gave up was about to right down my time of death.. (i was a still born becasue my mother had to cook) and then my mother was upset scared and half asleep.. and said just one more time.. (this is only like 2 seconds after the last hit by the way) and he did it, and i started to breathe then cry... and haven't stopped sense....

my point your wondering.. well i was dead.. do i now have a soul?

i mean i think i do.. i believe in god and souls.. and all that jazz.. i just want people's opinions its rather interesting..
