How would you like to die?

[ZOLLAR]

I'd want to go quickly, My mother's dad had cancer and watched him die slowly over a period of 2-3 years which was terrible and on the other hand my father's dad went for a check up with doctor all fine 2 days later walking back from the shop after getting newspaper and just died in the street.
As the Op said sudden death causes more heartache but im always Thankfull that up until my grandfathers last step he was happy and healthy and went with a smile on his face, my other grandfather was always upset and just wanted the pain to end based on those experiences i'd want to go with a Quickie death.

Just out of curiosity, are you a chap or chapess?

Which ever gender; it is certainly making a statement and clearly demonstrating some panache.
Not sure what it would do to the lines of the porker's bonnet, particularly if Mr Bond is on his hands and knees, putting all his weight on it.

I'm not sure, but those guys who choke themselves whilst having a tug of the little man seems a slightly cool way to go, although it must be quite embarassing for the family.

That wouldn't be my choice, to be honest.

Let me die a young man’s death,
not a clean and in between
the sheets holywater death,
not a famous-last-words
peaceful out of breath death.

When I’m 73
and in constant good tumour
may I be mown down at dawn
by a bright red sports car
on my way home
from an allnight party.

Or when I’m 91
with silver hair
and sitting in a barber’s chair,
may rival gangsters
with hamfisted tommyguns burst in
and give me a short back and insides.

Or when I’m 104
and banned from the Cavern
may my mistress
catching me in bed with her daughter
and fearing for her son
cut me up into little pieces
and throw away every piece but one.

Let me die a youngman’s death,
not a free from sin tiptoe in
candle wax and waning death,
not a curtains drawn by angels borne
‘what a nice way to go’ death

Quietly and quickly.

I can't see why anyone would want a slow and agonising death.

He also had a Man United shirt on but the police removed it so his family wouldn't be ashamed.

I've always wanted a GT3 RS, just balked at the cost. However, should I succumb to a horrible disease, I'm going to get one to cheer myself up.

Then, I'm undecided as to whether I have my people call Daniel Craig's people, or whether I stuff it into the tyre wall at Eau Rouge, having 'forgotten' to fasten my harness.

If we're doing poetry..........

I'm not afraid of death
Death that ancient fear
Coming ever closer
Coming ever near

I'm not afraid of death
Of dying in my sleep
Standing on a bridge
Would I take that leap?

and I can't remember the rest

Supposedly written by me/with a friend but I liked it so much and was so impressed that I never really believed we'd managed to turn that out.......I'll prob find out now that it's famous and I was led right up the garden path!

Shakespeare identified a nightmarish problem with that:

To sleep, perchance to dream; aye, there's the rub;
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil.

It's also a problem for atheists - something I've identified in my current online theological arguments with the Prophecy Film crew (if you can be bothered to watch the entire film through - the CGI is pretty impressive, and bits are taken from other films, but in a nutshell, it's a bunch of Catholic-style Christian fundamentalists predicting that the Earth will take a fatal asteroid impact in 2012 as prophesied by St Bridget, and that non-believers are going to Hell - and there's a huge section on what Hell is like (taken from horror films) and it's graphic and disturbing).

Basically - and this is probably worthy of its own thread - there are a lot of issues in the 'science' described in the Prophecy Film (and not just the philosophy-of-religion stuff that I've studied and hence always up for an argument about), but I thought I'd ping off an email to them simply because there is NO warning whatsoever of the sheer graphic horror of the 'Hell' depiction. I know it sounds incredibly goody-twoshoes but I thought that a bunch of *very* religious types would consider their audience somewhat - nowhere is there any warning for young children that the images that they are about to see would be fking scary and could cause nightmares. The clips from horror films are all 18-rated in the UK, and yet a young child reading the St Bridget prophecy in search of spiritual enlightenment (bear with me) would most likely be traumatised by the 18-rated horror 'Hell' video. I pointed this out to them, and interestingly got a response (not relevant to the 'child suitability warning', but a response nonetheless) - so I've started an email discussion regarding their prophecy and God in general (I'm an atheist, but very interested in religion, and was fortunate enough to get to read philosophy of religion at Oxford, so know my way round the usual arguments).

Moving on from the science - part of what I'm discussing with them is whether their prophecy (the Apocalypse being in 2012 and in the form of an asteroid impact on Earth, destroying all life - of course this is problematic in itself because *all* human life won't be destroyed in such an event, because there'll probably be a couple of astronauts on the International Space Station, and having a few mortal humans still alive doesn't really fit with the Apocalypse as defined in the Book of Revelations) is worth worrying about now.

I'm an atheist, but if 2012 comes, the Earth gets destroyed, and I die - only to find my consciousness *still* existing (i.e. 'I' can still think and consider myself 'me') and God's there sniggering at me as I line up for Judgement, then as a scientist I will immediately 'repent'. In Popperian terms, it will be a classic empirical falsification of my previous atheist theory. Hence, I will *sincerely* repent, because I'll have empirical evidence that I was wrong, and will them acknowledge Almighty God.

And according to Jesus Christ (who these Prophecy Film guys accept as 100% right and the Son of God) in the New Testament, a sincere repentance from me would be sufficient for God to forgive me, and accept me into Heaven.

So why the hell do I need to worry about St Bridget's revelations now? I can simply continue my existing way of life, and then if I was wrong in 2012, I can *sincerely* change my belief (with empirical falsification of atheism) and I'll be forgiven - job done, no Hell for me. I think it's a pretty watertight argument but I'm still having a back-and-forth with them over email.


Why is this relevant to the thread? Well for the atheists amongst you, when you die, what happens if you're wrong? Do you trust Jesus' reassurance that God is all-forgiving, or do you think that He might make an example of you? It'd certainly be embarrassing. And for me - if I took control of my own life as I started to deteriorate, and finished myself off on my own terms (something seriously frowned on in Scripture), then if I'm wrong then God is *not* going to be impressed.

Lots to think about!
