If you were about to breath your last breath and you had the opportunity to explain yourself.. who you are and why you lived the life you lived... what would you say?

I am a frail human that has been saved through the grace of God.

I wouldn't need to do that because my life has been an open book. I would save my last breath for telling my family how much I loved them, how happy they have made me and asking that they continue being the good people that they are.

I'm a naturalistic pantheist which means that "I believe in God/dess but spell it N-A-T-U-R-E." It is sort of like a nontheistic and rational "pagan". It's paganism for the 21st century and is even more earth-centered than "mainstream" paganism which focuses on magic. It is very eco-centered and Green in focus.
Knowing of the interdependence of nature (food cycle, etc.) as well as the interdependence of actions (ancestors' past actions affect my current circumstances and my actions will affect the circumstances of my descendents) fills me with a sense of gratefulness which I demonstrate both through my actions as well as concrete actions of respect and honor.
We celebrate the solstices and equinoxes. Some of us even do rituals - for myself I have developed offeratory rituals to honor Nature and the ancestors, Sacred Meal ritual, and chanting and meditation practices. These are available in the files section of the public pantheist groups here on Yahoo and on Beliefnet.
BTW, when you die, you're just dead, except in the memories that you leave behind so live a life of significance.

I have already lived a very fulfilling life, even though it has been relatively short. I wish I could have more, but am satisfied that my time here was beneficial to others, and wonderful for myself.
I am just another human, who is extremely lucky to have knowledge of his existence, and that is good enough for me.
Live peacefully everyone...I'm out....

I have lived a good life. I have accomplished what I wanted to accomplish, in having a great family, and children who have been raised properly and are contributing members of society.

I would say that I was trying to be good but I never really practiced what I preached becasuse I always had an excuse not to do good at a 100 percent.
Good question!

I'm Marie. I've tried to live the best I could, gave all the love a person can ask for, and I've respected others for who they are; and if there is one person who's always given the best of themselves, it would be me.

Well seeing I never had children of my own, no one to carry on my gene I pretty much feel my life is just filling in empty space. I anticipate death. I know no purpose to be here. But I must fulfill any tasks God may have in-stored for me. Goodbye cruel world. Lol. Merry Christmas...
