How do you guys feel about eventually dying?

[TripleThreat]

I have these random I guess you can call “episodes” where i have this almost out of body experience where i start saying to myself, you’re just you, you’re literally just you, and start thinking about how minuscule i am and then it eventually leads to how i am so fearful of dying one day. I understand I wasn’t around for the Korean War, or world war 2, or the Roman Empire, and that makes sense, since I simply wasnt existing, but now that I exist, the thought of me not existing, and quite frankly never being able to exist again terrifies me. I went to a religious school for a few years and went to church etc, but science tells me that my body make up is unique, and just being born is winning the lottery in its own right. As nice as it is to think my body protrudes this soul is going to rise up and say what up Jesus am I in? or my very unique dna that can profile me as a murderer is going to somehow leak out of my dead composing body, and makes its way into some other woman’s vagina to again try to fight off another 1 million other contestants (assuming dad didn’t jerk off that day) just really gets to me that I have this one chance and this limited, aka very limited time to live a good life. I have a good life mind you. Great wife, supportive family, 2 kids now, great house, but this whole death thing just makes me say sometimes like, wtf man, I want to experience this love and life forever, why does it gotta be so short. Just would like to hear your guys’ thoughts on the manner. Thanks.

All thanks and praise is God's alone, but thank you.

I've been meaning to ask if I can be granted permission to participate in the political forum to discuss matters of theology.

You may think you want that, but you don't want that.

You need 500 points to participate in the DC forum.

A silly rule but that is the new law around these here parts.

As for the question, I take solace in the fact that we're all just animated stardust. We were a bunch of scattered atoms before, so returning to that is just entropy in action. And once I'm gone, I won't be around to care one way or another, so there's not really much to worry about.

I worry far more about living too long in a shitty state. That shit can be horrific, especially for the people who have to deal with it.

If you look at the bottom left of your post you will see that you have 29 posts and 10 of them were in this thread alone. At this rate you will be posting in DC in another 2 weeks.

Are you a fan of the Kansas City Chiefs or did you get an invite to the forum to participate in DC?

My hope is that this is the first life of many. That I am in a simulation. My brain or consciousness or whatever is stored away somewhere giving me the ability to have many more lives, on different planets, time period, who knows.

I'm not even joking but I would pay good money to have my brain preserved or frozen...however it can be preserved in the hope that this could be achieved someday down the line. There is a very good chance what we are living right now is not base reality. Of course we could just die and nothing happens. Our energy and synapses in our brain just are absorbed into the universe. The real end goal of life is to get to the heat death of the universe where nothing will ever occur again. All energy will be expended.

What theological matters do you wish to discuss?

I echo whoever said that life won’t be worth living anymore when Mahomes no longer plays QB for the Kansas City Chiefs.
