Of Heaven and Hell...

I have been asked by some people what it's like to die... and here I'll tell you.

Dying is easy. It really and truly is. There's no white light, no falling, no rising. You close your eyes here and open them.

The first time I died? I opened them to see the most beautiful place... it was cold, but beautiful... I was picked up by a woman so beautiful any words pale in comparison...
I was taken from where I awoke at, into a building filled with people just as good looking... and they began to speak, all at once but each voice separate.
The general thought? I shouldn't be here. I had committed the ultimate sin, taken my own life. Yet the woman who held me whispered into my ear, "It will be alright.. don't worry about anything"

...but it wasn't. They judged me, each one given a vote. After that? They took me to a dark pit... and told me what I was to do.

I awoke then, in the hospital. Dead for only 98 seconds here, but what was three hours there.

The second time I died? I opened my eyes from seeing a group of paramedics trying to lift me onto a gurney to seeing a landscape so terrible... so twisted and so wrong that it plagues my deepest nightmares to this day. I saw people being torn apart, others being violated, others being consumed whole. No safety. No escape...
A voice, deep and throaty said, "Ah... Ryan.... how nice of you to come for a visit..." then I felt pain... my entire body hurt, I looked down as fire scorched me, wrapping around me and tightening, my lungs unable to find air, my blood ablaze, my mouth flying open in a scream that couldn't leave my throat...
I was thrown from there... down amongst the others, something hit me from the side, spinning me, then another from the other side, suddenly i was no longer falling, i was being carried.... two cackling beings with wings beating slowly lifted me up and carried me... dropping me down into a pit. Four different creatures advanced upon me with fire flowing down their arms and past their hands... then i awoke to see the same paramedics, and the roof of the ambulance.

...So yeah. Dying is easy. Living after seeing that?

...I'll get back to you about it.

only time will ever truly tell.

Exactly.

Seems like you have quite a bit of inner peace left to achieve.

I hope you find it.

When I die I'm going to be reincarnated as a bunny.

You too!?

I'm pretty certain that I'll be reincarnated as a kitty. That would be irony of the highest degree, considering my past with cats.

I believe that the last life you had determines how difficult your next life is. Animals have easy lives, and are higher up in the chain.

Personally, I believe both Heaven and Hell to be self-created. I think that dying in the right mindset could bring you to any number of places, it depends on where you think your going to go.

I'll laugh when the Mormons are the ones to go to heaven.

I like that idea o.o

But what if you don't know where you're going to go? D:

Exactly...

I'm actually an Atheist. I don't believe that anything special happens when you die..

Well Vash, I am sad unfortunate proof that something does.
I didn't believe in anything before those two experiences, and i don't now either.

Not to question what you saw... but many near death experiences and the memories that the person 'experienced' have an actual scientific explanation. (If you want I could give you sources or you can google it yourself)
I'm not saying I'm doubting you, I'm just saying there's not exactly good proof for either explanation.

The only thing we know is that we don't know.

Well, that is true Konny.
I'm sticking to my guns though, they may exist and you aren't gaurunteed to get into either.

I too, am an atheist. I was a strong southern baptist until a few years back, when I began to realize that all of the evidence of it's truth was purely circular.

"The world exists, and therefore god exists." And other half-baked justifications did a good job of killing my faith. Not to mention the, "Don't question it or you will go to hell." I was always answered with when I would challenge my tired beliefs.

At first I fretted over the likelihood that I would just rot in the ground after my death, and that would be the end of it.

But then I realized that I most likely won't even be aware that I am dead at all, so it really doesn't bother me anymore.

Sounds like a restful sleep to me. I think I should be glad to have it after I've achieved everything in life I mean to achieve.

father who art in heaven, plz grant me a thermo nuclear missile to des...convert the non-believers

*waits for Howard Stern to grant his wish*

and the lord said "Hey now, all men shall be granted there own radio show where lesbian porn stars will come on the show and tell of there times in the business and get kinky with other lesbian porn stars, Hey Now, and it will be the highest rated radio show in the world and the every one will listen to it Hey Now"

I like Buddhism.

In my sociology class, I really mess up my teacher's lesson. He's one of those people that believe in Christianity, and make sure that you know it. Every now and then he mentions it. I will quote our conversation,

"How many of you question that you are here right now?"

My response is, "I do not want to be here, I am forced to be here by the U.S. government."

"No, how many of you question that you are sitting in a chair in room 102?"

"I do. I ask my tree that every night."

"Y-your tree?"

"I'm a Buddhist, I have a fig tree in my room that I pray to. At night, I ask it if everything that happened today was meant to happen. At lunch we had Ravioli and Pizza. I chose Ravioli, but what would have happened if I chose the pizza? Would I accidentally have dropped it? Would-"

Then he told me to be quiet and he turned on the movie he was trying to explain. Its fun because this happens about every other class period. I have him everyday.

Heh. Pest, you and I would be good friends in real life.

I took a Religion class that focused on Christianity first, that ws a laugh and a half.

We watched the Truman Show. It's a movie about a man who lives in a town built exactly for him. His whole life is a giant television show. Everything he does is recorded by about 5000 cameras total.



I blurted out a question. "What if he had some weird problem, like he was a chronic masturbator or something?"

Haha!
Epic win.

I really dont care about anything if i die...and long as i have my virgins...ofcourse they will be female ^-^.


My mom sent me to rehab because i couldnt stop thinking about "What if God didnt exist" or "What if God were to get tired of us" im very creative so i was in a deep thought when i would think about those kinda things, then after i found my soloution i would have anxiety attacks or i would burst into tears. cause this is what i thought.


"What if God were not real?! what would it feel like to float around in space feeling nothing,seeing nothing, speaking nothing, and breathing nothing. what would it feel like if i didnt speak to anyone and they didnt speak to me....forever i would be nothing."

OR

"What if i were to die, but i wouldnt be able to leave my body? What if i died but i could still see throught the eyes of my dead body and i were to be put in a coffin and lie there forever. or i were to be autopsied on while i was still in my body...feeling the blades running through my skin. or to be cremated and feel everything...and the worst part is, no matter how much i try to scream, no matter how much i try to struggle i cant tell my family what lies on the other side."

OR

"What if God were to get bored of us, and just toss us into a blank box where everyone would be isolated and never to be seen again."
