Question

How true Everything that lives must die like human beings, animlas Plant life..That is Normal..

HOWEVER is Murder and Illness Normal?
or is that just a bi-product of a im-perfect earth?

How do you explain a person that lives to the ripe old age of 100 and maybe a baby born to a terminal illness dies at 2?

Is it your belief everyone who is born is pre-destined to die in a certain fashion? or is it just bad timing, bad genes? being poor? Everyone must die but you cannot control when that day will be or how it will be so I assume being alive is just LUCK how long you live? (Of course I don't believe this way)

Death IMO is where Atheism really becomes stuck in there belief.

Answer 1

1.Read the book of Ecclesiasies

sorry I don't have time at the moment to answer the rest, I'll try to get back to you later,

read and study the bible, it has the answers you are looking for

Answer 2

Obviously I havent died before and I do not know the meaning behind death or such. But is there really a need to find all the meaning behind death?

Dying at the age of 100, or dying at the age of 2. It does not change the fact that a person is dead. So why do we bother about whether the reason for death is normal or abnormal, when we can better use this time to live our life in a better way.

Answer 3

Life is normal, and death is a byproduct of life. Murder is a byproduct of emotions, and illness a byproduct of the irregularities we call mutation that occur through reproduction, which is another byproduct of life. Without pain or other aspects of life we may wish to avoid, we would never realize how we are drawn to the pleasures and virtues that coexist with the negative. Surely, it is terrible for us to comprehend why a 2-year-old must die from a terminal illness, or from lack of proper care due to finance, additionally tragedies like the recent Virginia Tech massacre and other murderous events seem to hint that the world is "imperfect" or even somehow inherently evil. Still, if the world was evil, it wouldn't exist, because life is good, and without life, we wouldn't exist, unless there was some way to create a world featuring statues and stone plants.

Answer 4

I believe in my heart that everyone is here for a specific reason, regardless of how insignificant their life may seem to the another, or how brief. Lessons are learned. Choices are made. I believe that if you follow you highest sense of right and wrong, ethically, morally, socially, personally, you will life the life you were meant to live.
No one knows what that is for anyone else, or even for oneself, It dawns on you little by little as you grow up and mature emotionally.
Some really evil people live long lives and vice versa. Know one really knows why? no matter how much money you pay someone to tell you otherwise.
No one knows what happens to you when you die either. Religions just have a great story to comfort people because people seem so afraid of death or what they think is death.
How long you live is not as important as how well you live, in my opinion. And regardless of the health of the body, the soul is your true essence, and it is never sick or dying.

Answer 5

there is little question that bodily you will finally end up somebody's power for their very own own or social use, like we now get around on the lifeless bodies of organic and organic count contained in one in all those gasoline. the place you would be mentally? i do no longer understand. i'm hoping there is something yet my wish purely ends up in leaps of religion while all else fails. i understand i will fabricate with my mind's eye greater extra complicated innovations, ones that are actually not straight forward to hold close and carry onto long adequate to be functional as a real stepping stone in the direction of understand-how issues like what a real Cornerstone is to 3 and a Stumbling-block to others, so be satisfied to conjecture and doubt at will in case you want or no longer.

Answer 6

Interesting that you seem to believe all atheists hold the same beliefs about death. Buddhist, for example, believe in reincarnation. I believe in the spiritual energy that never dies. There are as many beliefs about death among atheists as there are atheists.

How long we live is a combination of our genes, nutrition, and our actions. It is a very complex combination of all things in life that leads to death.

Answer 7

I agree with the first poster - life feeds on life.

Everything fights for survival against bacteria, viruses and other creatures.

Also, sometimes imperfections in life cause survival to be tough and can cause life to die. This is simply the way of the world.

What does this have to do with atheism though?

Answer 8

explain, why stuck ?

there are explanations why an 100 old still lives and a baby could get killed by the parents, horrible but that can happen.

no its not my belief that everyone will die in some predefined way.

why are you coming up with these things ?

Answer 9

It is just nature. Unfortunately in nature weak animals die. As for murder that also occurs in the animal kingdom, often due to social reasons rather than for food, taking of another animals shelter,etc. Animals that live in groups (chimps,meercats) often kill one of their own.

Answer 10

Death is normal, murder, illness, all of them are normal.

Common sense is realizing they are normal.

Most religions acknowledge that

Christianity is thinking that they are the result of some random person's 6,000 year old misdeed.
