so that when you ask a question that is vastly similar to others that have already been asked and resolved, rather than just listing these, the asker MUST review them and either choose a new 'best answer' or rewrite the question so that it is not so dang similar?

For as long as we can remember (lol, not long at all in the grand scheme of time), we have been alive.

As far as we know, we are not dead.

We have never felt like we were unborn.

Therefore, wouldn't others born in times past and times after us, feel the same way?

So to people who are dead to us, to them they are alive;

And to people, from our perspective, who have not been born, have always existed, from their perspective.

So, are we:

A. Dead

B. Alive

C. All of the Above

or

D. None of the above

Please explain


Could it be that time is a man made function and is improper to use in the calculation of life or death?

Are we already dead, and we will realize it once we retrace our lives to our physical death (after all, our lives are short, 100 years, in comparison to how long the earth has been here, 1 billion years; that's like 1 second in over 31 years!!!)?

Or some other reason?

P.S. This is not an issue of pre-destination.

Is Mao (the communist ruler of China) similar to God? Mao wanted to create a country where everyone was equal. There was no poor or rich (Jesus wanting the rich to give up their money) he believed in health care for all (Jesus healed all people). He killed those who could not help him in his vision (God smites people all the time who disobeyed his will, God even flooded the whole world). Mao wanted to people to not take more than they needed he wanted to elimate currency and no longer have the need of locks on doors. Such as if you went into a store you can take whatever you want and nothing more , there would be no theifs or class of people such as mid class or high class or low(sounds like jerusalem). Mao was anti gay, mao was anti abortion, mao believed marriage to be a sacred thing. He believed murder is wrong but killing is okay (similar to god). Mao wanted people to worship him. Only God is all powerful and Mao was not. heh
Listen to Mao or jail, listen to God, or hell

My Parents Say it isnt. They say that the richest people are not happy with themselves. I disagree. Money can buy you whatever you want. What do you think... What cant money buy....

You all would die. Would you prefer to die in an accident or heart attacked or disease or some other dully causes Or by a charming, attractive , good looking, witty and with winning personality man ?

C'omon people, dunt act like dumbs. Ted Bundy made you people love your partners more than before.

Ted Bundy sacrificed himself just for one and only reason : Love
Ted Bundy showed the true meanning of hate just to make others know what Love is.

Anyone who loves anyone in his life somehow owe Ted Bundy
Ted Bundy was just the other side of the love but not apart from it. He was the Love

Is a person lacking common sense or intelligence when they think that there are very few absolutes or do they have a high intellect for realizing that there are sometimes an incalcubable number of variables involved in every perception and individual reality?

When one decides to replace his or her initial position with what is now regarded as a superior position, one has changed one’s views rather than betrayed them. There have been no concessions, for no differences remain to be split.

thanks in advance =]

If you could exist forever would you want to? Remember it is not for a thousand years or a trillion years but forever! you can never cease to exist. What you choose it? even a 1000trillion years is a dot on the timeline of forever
