If God said He'd tell you exactly when, where, and how you were going to die, would you want to know? Why or why not?

Nope. I don't want to know. I only ask that I go in my sleep so I don't know it and that I am not in pain.

I would not want to know unless God told me that I was going to die in a manner that could be prevented: for instance if I knew that I was going to to die in a car crash on the freeway at a certain time, I would stay home or go a different way or if I was going to die of cancer from eating some food that wasn't good for me, I would change my diet. If I am going to die some violent, painful death, I don't want to know about it.

Hi there. It's an interesting question. We all know that we are going to die sometime. Some sooner, some later. Should it really matter when? If you knew you were going to die in a few minutes, and you kept doing what you were doing because you were living as good a life as you could, it wouldn't matter if you knew you were going to die now or later.

Yes, because I would like to prepare myself for that moment. Also, if I knew about it then I could possibly avoid that area around the time I would die.

Well, deities don't exist, for one, but nah. I'll die one day anyway, so I might as well live life to the fullest until then, as if everyday was the last, without knowing, because it very well might be.

Not. Or maybe yes... I should live each moment as if it were my last..I should love my family everyday, enjoy each sunset, savor the food I take for my substance. I should share my joy of the miraculous with others everyday.

Well since I don't believe in God I think it's highly unlikely. (I stopped having imaginary friends years and years ago) I would want to know what religion he thinks are the most hilarious in their spouting of the "gospel" yup that's what I would want to know if I believed! Happy to be a persecuted agnostic!

That is the only sure thing in life. Even if you know, so what? Most important is how well you have played your role in the act.
