Are you afraid to die?

Question

Are you afraid of dying if so why? If not why?

Answer 1

I see death as a gift from God. I would hate to have to spend forever in this body. Enjoying the time I have here but I am surely looking forward to what lies beyond this life. No fear here.

Answer 2

I'm not afraid of dying.

I used to have a terrible fear of many things, including my parents dying, nuclear catastrophe, fire drills, hell, and some other stuff. Since losing the idea of hell and some other stuff, my life has gone under a blanket of apathy, and I usually just laugh off most things. Dying doesn't scare me. I figure that everyone dies, and when my brain matter rots in the ground, I won't know the difference, and I'll just go back to what I was for the billions of years before I was born:

Nothing.

On the other hand, though, I'd like to leave the world with a feeling that I've changed it for the better.

Answer 3

No I don't think so, at least not in theory because when I die I have an eternal home with God so I believe, but in reality if I was facing death then I would most likely feel afraid simply because the unknown is a test for the strongest faith.
My fears would centre more around my worthiness to enter heaven than any belief about it.

Answer 4

I don't like pain. So I hope it will be an easy passing.
Sometimes I'm afraid of dying. Sometimes I'm afraid of living.
But when I am, I pray and the Lord helps me to trust in Him and have peace about it.
Philippians 4:6,7
The best thing would be to go up in the rapture.

Answer 5

Im extremely afraid of death, I use to believe in a god and heaven but then I got some common sense and thought about it. And a soul doesnt exist, you have organs and a brain (which is physical) they die and you become nothing more than mass. Therefore I'm afraid of dying before living a fullfilling life, and its really sad and scary. I envy anyone with there blind childish faith.

Answer 6

This would depend on HOW one was to die. There are many ways in which a person might die that would be less than desirable. To die in a peaceful way would not be terrible especially if one were to die surrounded by friends, family etc and having lived a good productive life. The other question which was not asked "Are you afraid of being dead" becomes a moot point since in being dead one is not cognizant of anything - it would be similar to how you felt before you were born - lets say a year before you were born.

Answer 7

I'm afraid of dying and not knowing everything. Also my faith is kinda weak so I'm a little afraid. I'm afraid I might die in sin.

Answer 8

Nope, I'm always excited to experience new things and explore uncharted waters. LOL *shrug* dying is just another adventure and adrenalin rush...is there Heaven and a Hell? If so where I'm I going? So many things to anticipate when you die...hell, just to see who's right...Creationist vs Evolutionist..lol or vs Hindu's (re-incarnation).
Dude it's gonna be a blast in a half! Anyone care to bid now? (i'll collect on the other side...Just drop my name to Peter at the front gates he'll getcha a VIP pass either straight down or straight up i'm thinking the latter *wink*) The odds are fairly equal considering NO ONE knows for a fact whose correct!!! lol :)

Answer 9

No, I am not afraid to die. I hope I don't for a long time, but when it happens, I know I will be in a place of love and see my loved ones and animals that have passed.
God is there for all of us.

Answer 10

I'm not afraid of not being alive anymore, but the actual act of dying can be a little scary. What if it's painful? What if it's prolonged? That part concerns me somewhat, but I don't think about death regularly.
