Why does everybody think death is such a big thing or wrong ?

Question

Why do so many people worry abou tthis perosn or that , if nothing comes after the grave?
If like the Buddhists teach, everyone is dying right now,evryone will die and death is not unpleasant?
Is this inconsistent? Why does justice mean so much to a finite or for that matter a dead being?
I ask this as a Christian who believes in the eternal life that Jesus gave us as a gift.

Answer 1

If it was truly about no belief in anything, the people who claim to believe in nothing, would be completely unaffected and wouldn't even be interested in reading or answering on here at all. The reason they are on here mostly is becuase they have their own agenda and bias, just as anybody else does.

God set eternity into the hearts of all men without exception. Everybody has a conscience and idea of there being more to this, which is why we have the capacity to even consider and argue about these things in the first place. An atheist cannot dare to consider the idea of God, to him this is non-sensical and unthinkable, so he must replace it with his own theory in order to fill the vacuum in his own heart.

Every person is a spiritual being, even those who deny all religions. Dig enough, and you'll discover their have their own belief and agenda and it isn't always based on "rational/logical thought". But because it's anti God? then to them, it's science and rational. Even if it's based on an explosion! No matter how ludicrous the idea is, it's more acceptable to them than the possible alternative (which is unthinkable). Replacing God with humanism. It's still a religion either way, which is why an atheist is as religious as anybody else.

Their idea of how life came to be is based on faith. Their idea of how life ends, again is based on 'faith". As they haven't seen how life began in the beginning, they go by faith. As they haven't died yet and haven't seen for themselves, they can only go by faith and their hopes lie only in a dead end.

How does this make them different from a Christian? No different, other than we have a religion of life, they have a religion of death. if we are right and they are wrong, they have an eternity to gamble with.

Either way, death is certain. But you wonder what the purpose is of someone with a dead end and no real meaning or point in life, to get on here and argue in the first place.......I mean to an evolutionist atheist, we are all just evolved organisms going through life and heading to an uncertain end.

To the Christian, there is every reason to hope.

Death, mortality, the fear of non-being are the source of the instinct for self-preservation, which is the inclination to sin. Pelagians denied this principle, and accepted a form of religion similar to what you have just described. The problem is that 1) If death is natural part of life, then we remove both the cause and effect of sin, and with it the need for grace. That is why the Pelagians believed that grace was not necessary either to salvation or good works. The death and resurrection of Christ is then a moot point - it becomes nothing more than an example for us to follow.

This doesn't mean that we should fear death; quite the contrary. We should accept death as the unnatural event that it actually is, but maintain a firm hope in the immortality of the soul and the future resurrection of the body.

Are you extreme? It became no longer in basic terms one remoted incident! those toddlers hung the nooses, beat up between the black toddlers at a occasion, yet another guy pulled a shotgun on 3 of the black toddlers, they took it and the police charged them for theft! The DA wouldn't have stated the failings he stated to the black toddlers who have been retaining a non violent take a seat in under the "white tree"! Are you kidding me!!! those black toddlers wouldn't have beat up that white toddler yet, they did. all the youngsters ought to have been dealt with the comparable! The white toddlers have been given away with each and every thing and now they try to fasten up the black toddlers for 20+ years! it relatively is a huge deal and whilst human beings can no longer see why it relatively is, then it merely is going to tutor you that racism remains alive!

Answer 4

My parents, being Jehovah's Witnesses, don't fear death. They've made arrangements, like most JWs, to be cremated and the ashes scattered. They look forward to the resurrection, with new bodies, and rebuilding the Earth back into a paradise. She also hopes her brother will be resurrected, as he did last tag on her just as he died.

Answer 5

Because we are the only creatures on Earth that horde our dead.

Answer 6
