It saddens me when someone dies - I miss them, sure do.
Am I sad because they were not a believer?
Sure.
Life without God, isn’t living, in my opinion.
That, and, believe you me - all those people who say there is no God?
I bet they don't stick to that *there is no God* belief in those last few moments of their life, when they know they‘re seconds from deaths door.
As for me - I don't limit my God - I'm sure He has that person safe and well in His capable hands

Nope,
People have the right to choose their own religion. You do not have to believe in Christ. I believe that the non believer who died without Christ may be better off. Look at history. Again and again people are thrusting Christianity on others. They don't allow for choice. Are the missions around the world the right thing? I don't think so. Let people live their own lives. Christ may be good for some, while others believe in something else. I don't want to be in the same heaven as Pizzaro or other genocidal crusaders of the past. Who would in their right mind?

Yes, it makes me feel very sad and helpless. I know that we are not to judge so no one except that person & God really know whether or not they are saved, but when someone openly says they don't believe and aren't living the life of a believer, it's pretty hard to have hope for them.
I also always wonder if I did enough to reach out to them, and hope that nothing I did or said was somehow a stumbling block to them coming to know the Lord. It's so hard to know what to say to comfort their surviving family and loved ones, because most of my words of comfort are wrapped up in my faith and hope for eternal life through Christ.

I don't care about religious belief. If the person had an eventful life and then dies, it's not sad. That's when if they suffered from a debilitating illness or accident.

I'm sad when people die. If they believed in Christ or not is none of my business. But whatever they believed, I wish them well on their journey.

No. I think it's sad when people die believing. Imagine what a horrible disappointment it must be to find that there is no afterlife.

Yes- it does- I had a friend whom I worry didn't make it to Heaven. She wanted to get saved but yet she wanted her partying as well. I have had nightmares of her being in Hell. I was told she got saved as a teenager-after her death- but she never told me she had ever gotten saved. I hope when my time comes and I cross Jordan I see her standing waiting there for me!

Wait, let me get this straight, I killed them right? If so, then I probably wouldn't be sad as much as I'd probably just be hungry from all the killing i just did.

Yes, because they're dead. I'm equally sad when a Christian dies. They all go to the same place.
And come on, Christians, let us live out the years we have in peace. Stop pestering us with your beliefs.
