Amen, sister. Death is nothing to be afraid of and hell is just superstitious bullshit. (Your video won't let me sign in even though I used my correct password. Oh well.)

In my opinion, here's the beauty part of being dead; when you're dead, you don't know anything, and one of those things that you don't know is, that you're dead and don't know anything! lol In other words, Nirvana.

"Death is nothing to us,
since when we are,
death has not come,
and when death has come,
we are not." Epicurus 341BCE - 270BCE

Bravo Capt! I was thinking this very same Quote by Epicurus! When I think about our mortality I always go back to the greeks and the distinction between the Grrok Olympian Gods who are all forever Immortal and then us mere humans. And the beauty of being human to some might be that we have a sense of urgency of passion to get things done when we take into mind that we are here for only a one lifetime if that even. Its like those Chinese paintings where we get one brush stroke to complete a masterpiece, we really have to make that brush stroke matter before the paint runs out! Thats where I see the beauty in it.

Would i want to live forever though? Ummm perhaps some day i would want to die if I was immortal and there was no other humans around, but... perhaps it wouldn't be so bad! To have eternity to cultivate oneself and find all of ones interests would be an interesting to me. There is a lot of opportunity to be happy, and of course have tragedy, but thats how life already is.

Well, withteeth, the way I see it there is a huge difference between being conscious for a very, very, very long time, even millions of years, and being conscious forever. The thought of eternal conscious self-awareness scares the shit right out of me. I very much do not want that, thank you very much. You can have it, that's fine with me, but none for me thanks.

philosophy is like science's senile grandfather

You can always turn tricks for a few extra bucks. If looks are an issue, there's the glory hole option, but don't expect more than ... tips.

Muslims often said that the day of resurrection is very close, because most signs have occurred ..

Here are minor signs of the day of Judgment according to the narrations - Ahadith e Mubarka.

1 - People will beat others with whips like the tails of oxen - the slave trade ( Sahih Muslim ) - Already happened

2 - The appearance of Holy Prophet SAAW - (Al Saheehayn) - Already happened

3 - The death of Holy Prophet SAAW - ( Al Saheehayn) - Already Happened

4 - The digging of Moon (Al Saheehayn) - Two opinions about it ... one is that Holy Prophet SAAW's miracle of turning moon in half is meant here. But some scholars say

that the advent being the miracle can't be a sign of Qiyamah. So they think that the recent bringing of moon' earth that some scientists brought down here is mean in this

instance. Either way this sign has also appeared.

5 - The conquest of Jerusalem - ( At Tirmidhi ) Already happened

6 - The plague of Amwaas (Emaaus) - a city in Palestine (Sahah e Sitta)

14- The prevalence of musical instruments (Al Saheehayn) - Happened and continued

15- Widespread use of intoxicants (Sahih Bukhari) - Happened in some parts but some are still to be plagued

16- Beduins competing in constructing skyrises (Sahih Bukhari) - happening already

17- A woman giving birth to her master (Sahih Bukhari) Ibn e Hajar said that it means issues will be disobedient and even rude to their mothers - so happening

18- The haraj - Prophet SAAW explained on inquisition - mass murder - massacres (Sahih Bukhari) - happened and happening

19- A tribulation (fitnah) that will enter every house (Al Saheehayn) - Already happened - TV and media instruments

20- People will be lost in dancing and singing and will follow female singers (Sahih Muslim) - Happened and continued

21- Access to knowledge will be easy but wisdom will decrease (Ahmad) - Almost happened

22- Women will outnumber men, eventually 50:1 (Bukhari, Muslim & Ahmad) - Happening but not completely

23- Nations of earth will gather around muslims like people get around a table of food, even at that time muslims will be more in number but divided like foam of ocean

(Sahih Bukhari) - Happening

24- Sky will rain acid (At tabrani, Al Hakim) happened in Red Spruce - Maine

25- Wealth will be concentrated in a few hands, poor will not be shared in gains (At Tirmidhi) - briskly happening

26- Sudden and unexpected deaths widespread (Ahmad) i.e., heart attacks - happening

27- A treasure will emerge from Euphrates, Prophet SAAW said, whoever is present should not take anything from it (Bukhari & Muslim) Happened. A ruin has appeared

from Euphrates, seems like a drowned city of old civilization.

28- Family ties will be cut (Bukhari & Muslim) - briskly progressing

29- Arrogance will increase in earth (At Tabrani, Al Hakim) - happened

30- Great distances will be travelled in short time ( Al Saheehayn) - Happening

31- People will ride in saddles which will not be saddle-like (Bukhari) - Happening

32- Horses will no longer be used in wars (Ahmad) - Already happened

33- People will hop between sky and clouds (At Tabrani) - Happening - Sky diving

34- Women will look like men, men will look like women (Bukhari & Muslim) Happening

35- People will lie with their own genders (At Tirmidhi) - Happening - homosexuality

36- A person will leave his house and his thigh and hip will tell him what is happening back home (At Tabrani, At Tirmidhi, Al Hakim) - Happening - Cellphones

37- Dressed women will look like nudes, they will led astray and will lead others astray (Muslim) - Happening

38- People will dance late into the night (Muslim) - Happening

39- Singers will become common (Al Haythami) - Happening

40- A man will pass by a grave and wish he was in it (Bukhari) - Happening

47- Bearing false witness will be widespread (Al Haythami & Ahmad) - Happening

48- People will believe a liar because of his propaganda and disbelieve the truthful (Ahmad) - Happening

13.7 Billion Years of cosmic history passed that left no imprint on my memory nor touched me as an individual in any way. Then I was born. It isn't much of a reach to figure that all of cosmic history that passes after I die will have the exact same impact.

Exactly. You have already been dead for far longer than you have or will be alive, and it wasn't painful, scary or unless I forgot full of milk and honey.
As for would I want toi live forever? Well it's all down to quality of life really. If there is quality there, or the possibility of it my body will want to live. FOR EVER MWAAHAAAAHAAA!

Right on Tjakey. I remember someone asking me what it was like before i was born... and that is what death is like.
