Me an anarchist have been having a pm debate about death.
i said-i was just reading your sig and it got me thinking. and i came to the conclusion that i dont believe in death. you should check out the what religion are you topic located here http://gutr.swrebellion.com/forums/index.php/topic,728.0.html
anarchist said-Thanks for the pointer. With death, it's a sort of shaky ground. Unless one of the religion's is proven right (such as the sarcophagus of Mary Madeliene being discovered), death is at best, a sort of site we should leave alone.
i said-death cannot be tampered with only controlled.
anarchist said-I believe that death can be 'tampered' with, in a way that say, if a person is announced officially dead for a few seconds, then is 'resurrected', then is it not tampering? I fully agree that it is controlled though.
i said-i disagree, and resurrection isn't the proper word use. revived is a better statement. think we should make this a thread?
anarchist said-Maybe. I forgot about the word revived-I have been playing too many games involving necromancy, and reading too many books concerning that as well. It might be good to have a thread on this so everyone can discuss it. I'll start one up if you like.
please continue this debate. we thought it was a good idea.
-
Seems no-one wants to discuss it. Well at least we dont have to PM each other anymore. :)
-
Whats to discuss?
-
We were discussing death, and we were hoping the general populace would share their thoughts on it. Look closely at the quotes.
-
people die. their corpses rot. end of.
-
We know. We were originally discussing our beliefs of what happened after death, such as re-incarnation or resurrection.
-
bah. by the time of my death coming near there is a way of surviving. maybe like in futurama, put your head in a jar.
-
Simple solution. Don't die. Figure out how.
-
Try to keep mroe to our ideas-what do you believ happens after/during death? Is there such a thing as death, or merely a brief period of stasis before re-incarnation? Discuss that; that is what we intended.
-
you die, the end.
-
Is that all you wish to think about on the matter? Cmon, some of you have to believe there must be something other than death-some of you are relgious. I am not saying there necessarily is something that coincedes with death, but still, post your ideas. That's what we want.
-
I want to believe reincarnation. probably without remembering anything about your previous life. Or maybe so that your mind remains and just wonders things. a bit like dream. But I believe that there is nothing after this one life.
-
i want to believe reincarnation, but i take life from a scientific point of view, not spiritual
-
im mormon so i believe we are all reincanated right before the final judgement.
-
In fact it is proved that mormons go to heaven and everyone else go to hell.
-
These are some good ideas-see? This topic has become a full-blown discussion now that you guys are sharing your thoughts on the dark abyss of death. I would like to believe there is re-incarnation, and I think this is one of the more common ideas. I like the idea that our first life may have been a neanderthal man, then a person in time where the Roman Empire was prominent, then the Medieval Era, then the Rennaissance, etc, and all the eras in between.

This thread has been split as Soyuz Sovetskikh Sotsialisticheskikh Respublik Debate. This thread will remain open but keep it on topic.

"Im going to live forever, or die trying".
-
death is the only thing in life with a 100% mortality rate ;)
-
and one of the two absolutes on world. two things you can't avoid.
-
The other is taxes.
-
correct. ;D
-
Well, if you were a hermit living on an otherwise deserted island, you wouldnt have to pay tax.
-
well you don't have to pay taxes if you don't have any income too. but most people don't live like that.
-
Well, if you were a hermit living on an otherwise deserted island, you wouldnt have to pay tax.
Umm actually you would pay taxes by being attacked. Paying 'tax' doesnt necessarily mean giving money to a government; it could mean paying for your sins, paying for your living, etc. Therefore, the theroy that you will pay tax is true, ecause you pay 'tax' by dying.
-
depends on where in the desert you live. if it is none owned land by any country you wont have to pay.
-
Look at Reply 16 to see what i'm thinking right now.

Funny, Enceladus, funny. ;)
So back on topic, what are your current thoughts on the black abyss of death?
-
iunno, as you said, death is shaky ground, no one really knows. i mean, some people claim to know, but theyr dissmissed as eccentics, what if they actually know the truth about death?
-
Whether death is just an abyss or something more, our lives should center around life, not death.
-
the only way we can truly know the truth about death is to die
-
Exactly! <Suicide pills at the ready! Ready...Suicide!>
Lol I am kidding.
-
there has to be something after death, i dont care what you guys believe, you really think that it just ends, nothing, i hate to sound like gandalf here but death or whatever is after death, depending on what religion you are, is prolly much cooler and longer and more meaningful than what we could ever concieve of in "life"
-
Probably. But we cannot know. The way I look at it, we have multiple 'lives', in which we have a life at random points in the time of the universe, nay, existence itself.
-
i believe that life after death will be the greatest thing to happen to anyone who isn't a son of predition
