I did not know we feared death. When my wife passed away she asked, "Please tell me that it is ok for me to go." The book of Matthew says "I go to prepare a place for you,....I will come back for you." A TRUE christian has no reason to fear death. The ones I have known, have all said "I will miss you, etc.", but none feared their passing.

I dont think its just christians that fear death we all deal with it one way or another, I not sure if anyone is really ready to meet their maker when its time but I think more are prepared for it when they do, I lost my sister 2 years ago and she was ready, im not so sure I am but I also know its a part of living and dyin and its all apart of a process we all face in life.

So far, one christian says "true" christians do not fear death.
But then another christian says that they do.
Butch, given your statement, would it be fair to say that leeanna is not a "true" christian given her view on death?
.
What about the rest of you?

Here we are 2008 years after this guy Jesus was allegedly. I still can't believe that people are still that stupid to blindly believe and give money to some jerk off fairy tale. Who f***ing care if some dip shit people who follow some fairy tale fear death or not.

my point is that they believe in a fairy tale...My dad had a great saying when someone was being a dope...
"You can think whatever stupid thing you want to think"
Now here is what I think...
Religion in general is f***ed up and has ruined the world. Most wars in history have been fought over my god is better than your god. f*** that I say.
I honestly do not care if a bunch of child molesting christians fear death or not. In fact it could'nt come fast enough for most of them. Just remember these are the douche bags who got Bush elected.

Jesus Christ will return soon...4 Gods children...it's in the bible He will come with the clouds...people will disappear...then whut will your scientists and wise men make of the things that are to pass...once they do, your, our excuses will no longer matter, no person wants to be accountable for what they have done so they fear because everyone has done something wrong, sin, God brings forth judgement upon sin, therefore we are fearful of a Living God...the bible tells of all things...
God Bless All of U may your spiritual eyes be opened...

if you knew anything about science and its methods then you would know that it is impossible to prove a negative. You can not prove to someone that god doesnt exist just as you couldnt prove any other negative. If you want to believe in Santa Clause(Jesus or and other Religion or god) then I guess you are not hurting anyone in that act alone. The fact is that religion and the dopes who follow it push their beliefs and supposed values onto others. For me if lets see if I am wrong, then I am going to go to an imaginary place called hell. I sure as hell would rather being hanging out with the sinners for eternity than a bunch of bible pushing fags. Where is my "soul" going to have more fun...Playing bingo in the heaven church or Hanging out with the likes of Hendrix, Einstien, and the devil. If god is all powerful why the hell doesnt he just go and kill the devil? Your f***ing imaginary religion has no backbone and you can try to sound all spiritual as you wan, but the fact is that you are a douche and you are going to die and rot and that is it.

JJ,
To you I say Amen. 
The bible does say that the savior will return and those who have not come to accept him will perish in an eternal flame.
The bible also states that there will be nonbelievers in the world -- prior to his coming.
So I ask you JJ, if god says this about nonbelievers, then is it wrong to say that some people must remain godless? If you truly believe in his words, then you must be grateful to have among you, those who will perish as god has said this will be.
JJ,
You seem to think that man has a choice in whether or not he is saved. Are you also a god in that you can fight the powers of Lucifer and establish your own destiny inspite of what god has planned in your future?
Only god has power over Lucifer, not mere flesh, i.e. man.
You may then say, "God has power over Lucifer through our spirit because of his holy ghost."
Aye, but you do not control this 'holy ghost'. And it is blasphomy to assume that it comes to your aid at [your own will]. Excorcism allegedly has been performed upon many "faithful" around the globe (I see, to you they are "not true christians").
You must then must wonder why such a beast can enter us, and control us, from the get-go.
Did we do something to deserve it?
Is god just trying to teach us how to be closer to him?
You mention fear? Yes. God wants us to fear him, which must have been his reason for creating Lucifer to begin with (and for allowing him dominion over the earth -- temporarily). Only by the grace of god can his most obedient creation [Lucifer] have dominion over us (we are all born in sin, are we not?).
Man can but only accept this game, but you haven't answered my question, JJ.
Do you fear death?

rainman,
So you're claiming that the only things that are true are those which can be
verified empirically?
But this claim itself cannot be weighed, measured or observed directly by our senses or by the use of any laboratory instruments. If this claim is true, it proves that it is false because it is not verified by any empirical method.

im sayin your just tryin to get everyone going,
I posed a question given the blogs that were based on death/dying. Where is the harm in that?
your the one thats creating the problem
It's too bad that you see it that way Ma'am. The next time a nonbeliever poses a question (to you personally, or not), regarding some aspect of the christian faith, it might be best to do as jesus would (witness....., not bitch). That is what your faith teaches, is it not? Or perhaps you're the "other type of christian" who is not taught in the ways of the lord?
and tryin to get others to feed into it,
It was a legitimate question coming from a genuinely interested person, Ma'am.
im not sayin no ones full of crap other than you
Well, for Butch's sake (or yours, come to think of it), I'm glad you made that crystal clear.

Since there is NO reliable translation of the writings making up the Bible I don't know how anyone can believe it's 100% "word of God". The word of God would not be imperfect. The Bible is a book of law that helped civilization develope. It still gives a good segment of the world a line of morality that is superior, in my opinion, to other holy writings. I can believe in a creator without being a Christian and I can be closer to heaven than most judgmental and proud Christians.
The fear of death is universal in youth. Life is sweet and nobody wants it to end. As we age we become tired and more willing to comtemplate the end. But in that end, I think most still fear that unknown. Whatever death holds for us, afterlife or not, death itself is nothing to fear. The end of life's pleasure is the only loss on a personal level. Fear of leaving one's loved ones alone and unprotected is the biggest fear of all.

OP: I care.
Which is why I started this thread.
 ...and why was this thread not started in the R&S forum, where it belongs? If one cannot read the forum rules, then there is no reason to conclude their perception of anything biblical is correct:
