uh thanks for bringing up the bible chdoctor but is the thing, I'm Muslim not christen. you among all other people should know that tons of jews catholics Muslims, hindos etc. use this site. so don't just go out saying "its what the bible says." cause not everybody follows what the bible says. (and too be honest I don't believe in the Quran)

Are you distinguishing between inherited and earned sinfulness? The Bible clearly indicates that everyone (besides the Christ) sins, so your question is moot. Death is part of the penalty of human sin.

That is not true. Many people do good deeds and suffer while dying in lasting pain. God has provided us with medicine to ease that pain. And the Koran states that there is no illness without a cure. We just haven't found them yet. The cure for polio, measles, has recently been found after many have died from it. Dying of natural causes or painful deaths are all God's choice and will. My father-in-law lived 107 years and had been a smoker all his life. His death was natural, not cancer. On the other hand, a 21 year-old cousin of mine died of car accident. Nobody knows their fate only God knows. He created us and he takes us. We are hear on earth for a short time and the after-life is timeless. We are here on earth taking an exam for our rewards on the Day of Judgement. An illness is seen as an exam. How will you cope? Who will you blame? Will you ask God for help, mercy or will you blame Him? This will affect your chances for entering paradise. We must always seek God's help and praise Him who created us as the best of His creatures.

I'm an Atheist and "I do good through out my life and do whats right and respect the people around me". I don't know what will bring about my demise, but I hope it's natural causes, and in my sleep.
A person doesn't have to have religion to do good things and lead a good and generous life.

You already know the answer to this. Many Christians die of natural causes. If we all died of natural causes, there would be mass overscrowding in this world. And no one does good throughout his life on a daily basis. Thats just silly.

Doing good has nothing to do with how/when you will die or weather or not you will go to heaven.
We have a fatal disease called, "SIN".
It's more deadly than hiv, ebola etc.
If you catch ebola on your vacation in the congo,
do you think being a good person will save you from
perishing from ebola? In a word, NO...
We all have sin in our dna. No matter how "good"
you try to be, you will never ever be able to muster-up enough "goodness" in yourself to make-it.
There is Good-News however!
God has provided the cure for our sin.
However, the cure cost HIM very dearly.
The Bible says that without the shedding of blood,
there can be no remission of sin.
JESUS voluntarily layed-down HIS life
as a sinless sacrifice on our behalf.
He took the penalty for you.
"Greater love has no-man than this,
that He lay-down His life for His friends."

I've never heard that one before!! The answer is no! Jesus was the best person that ever lived, He was crucified on a cross. All of the apostles were crucified, beheaded, or suffered violent deaths, except for John. Jesus says, "take up your cross and follow me". Where do you think that cross you are carrying is going to take you? Anyone who carries a cross is going to be crucified. Jesus said that He was hated in the world and if you follow Him you will be hated as well.

No it't not true. Many babies die of un natural causes. Do yourself a favour and watch "Zeitgeist" part 1 on www.video.google.com

No.
My friends daughter was murdered by her babysitter at 18 months old. I seriously doubt she was a "bad person" or did "bad things" and that sure as **** wasn't a natural death.

Not necessarily. You could get hit by a car anytime at any moment. But you'd feel better about yourself if you do good things.. =)

Others can't inflict natural death on you. You need not go behind people begging
