What if YOU die tomorrow!

[Blank Frank]

Just be careful and only do things that would be sure to kill you instantly, it would be such a waste to spend your last few hours as a drooling vegetable before expiring tomorrow.

Good idea, nice one. I can think of at least two:
Buying a Donner Kebab from one of those Kebab Shops found on many UK mainstreets.

Or walk into the Parachute Regiment's mess in Aldershot and say in a very loud voice "I THOUGHT ONLY FAIRIES HAD WINGS"

[mats.hogberg]

This is God's will for you, that none should perish, but that all be saved.

and the very next sentence:

If you don't believe this, you will not be with Him when you die

Being the atheist (no, not atheist per se - merely anti-religionist) I am, I find those two sentences mutually exclusive: Either all are saved, or just those who Believe. (My argument makes the presumption that "be saved" and "be with Him" means the same thing.)

JESUS IS RE-BORN! EVERYONE LOOK BUSY!

[Faustus]

heh landover, I almost bought a tshirt from there once.

[hoola_loop]

wow strange topic.

i would spend the whole day covering my tracks of bad things i have done so my friends and family would never know about them.
nah for real i would spend talking with my family about the life that i lived and then try to figure out a way i could change the events to come. i mean unless you were dying of a terminal illness, mssive heart attack or the like... a planitary disaster or maybe deathrow as stated earlier. i think mybe you could change it. if i knew i was gonna die in a car crash i would simply not drive the next day. hmmm but if i were suppossed to die and changed the situation and saved myself would it change other things for the next day? if i were suppossed to die and someone was going to get my heart or kidneys to live would it be murder if i changed the future and saved my own life and they died instead? or maybe i saw the future in order to save my own life so the other person would die preventing them from setting off a bomb killing millioins? so by saving my own life i killed someone else saving millions of others so i was givin this vision of my death to make the ultimate decision not knowing one way or the other.. geeeze my brain hurts.. that brings up lots of thoughts though.. nice topic. peace

About "death" as sometimes we all think about. I thought of it numerous times and wonder how long will I live? I really don't know until a sign of the end, if this is possible. If this is possible what would I do? This depends on how the potential death occurs.

A world trip would be great and see my friends and family as much as possible. I don’t really know if this would be possible by then.

Unfortunately, not everyone would able to predict the untimely death as one person lives day by day without any preparation for it. What about a will, funeral arrangements by who and so on.

We live until the very last minute, the very last breath then all over. If someone believes in after life, do so.

I really don’t want to discuss after life in this forum. I don’t really want to discuss religion either as a personal thing.

[pacmania_2001]

Personally, I believe in God.

I don't believe in religion though. They tend to have too many hyprocritical points in most of their basic teachings. That said I don't really care if religions do exist as long as they don't push their views/values on others.

To answer your question I would probably spend the day with family and friends.

Either all are saved, or just those who Believe.

Along the same lines is the notion that all who say Christ is their savior are saved. This means some of the baddest dudes such as rapists, serial killers and sex offenders who find God in prison get go to heaven yet those of us who live a good life, but don't believe in Christ, go to hell. Apparently God would rather be praised than have his commandments followed.

Nobody can follow the commandments, not one person can go through life without sinning whether it be a white lie or murdering. All sin is the same, if you read the bible you would see that some of the most God fearing men fell to sins such as murder, lying, cheating, sleeping w/ others wifes. All mes sin, period! Now God doesnt just want us to follow some rules and then we move on to a different place, he created us for a purpose, each and everyone of us.

We take components and build a computer and it serves a purpose we intended it for. Same thing w/ God, he created us and we are to serve our purpose here on earth, that include a relationship w/ jesus christ his son who can save us. Getting to heaven isn't merely believing jesus existed, its having a relationship with him, you know talk to him like your friend.

God loves all men, no matter what they have done as long as they repent and turn from their ways.

Well said Treebeard.

[flaninacupboard]

If i were to die tomorrow, i would make sure my partner knows i love her (she is, after all, my little pea) i would drink a big cup of tea, eat a huge toad in the hole, and drift off to sleep with her in my arms, her hands in mine, sat in front of the dying embers of an open fire.

As for the religion issue, it has no place in my life, which is odd given my mother is a buddhist, and my grandmother is roman catholic. My parents always said i should make my own decisions about religion, and i did. I decided it wasn't worth thinking about. I know in myself what is right and what is wrong, and have developed my own views on more complex issues of morality (things like abortion, animal tesing and single mothers) and that is all i need. I feel it's fine for anyone to believe anyhting, as long as its not, or does not expose itself (i.e. you keep quiet about it!) to be detrimental to others. i also dislike religion giving some people special rules. i.e. in this country, if your faith requires you to wear a turban, you are no longer required to wear a crash helmet on a motorbike. i also dislike people pushing their views, and people who are downright stupid (comments such as "who cares what they think, they're all gonna burn in hell!" are a good example) and are blinded by their religion.
but there you are, everyone is different.

eat a huge toad in the hole

What is that?

Today Is A GREAT Day To Die

[Blank Frank]

eat a huge toad in the hole

What is that?

For the benefit of Americans and other exotic creatures (to quote Terry Pratchett), toad-in-the-hole is NOT some kind of weird perversion, but a very old-fashioned , very traditional British dish, consisting (in it's most basic form) of Yorshire Pudding baked with sausages in it. Served with thick, rich gravy and mashed spuds, it's a marvellously filling & tasty winter dish. Bluff old Northern bloke that I am, I also like it wih mushy peas..

Totally fattening and not in the least dietetic. Thankfully.

[northcat_8]

Well in response to the original question...

I would have sex...NOT GAY SEX...

But then again it doesn't require the grim reaper to be knocking on my door either.

I'm not going to get into the whole religious debate about the afterlife. For all any of us know, when that last breath leaves us we might just see blackness and suddenly the words "GAME OVER" may appear. And we will spend purgatory trying to find the damn reset button.

[eatin sammiches for lunch]

Knowing that i would die tommorrow , 3 years ago I would have said I'd probably go out and do some crazy things but being 3 years older and wiser and having a son thats almost 3 I would have to say I would spend EVERY second with my child before I left.

[macleod]

There is sorta two threads (or more going)----


What if you die tomorrow-I would make a DVD-R of things that I would want my son to know about me and my life(wouldn't make a dvd+r because in 5 years it wont play on anything ---couldnt resist the jab).

I would try to make amends and apologize to people that I have wronged (the rip about dvd+r)or been wronged by to bring closure for them and myself. Spend the remaining time with family.


Religion quotes and life after death-People talk about beliefs, much in the same way they "believe" in santa claus, the tooth fairy, or the easter bunny. For me (and I repeat FOR ME) it is a fact that there is a God.

I believe, however, that each person will receive the end that they believe. Basically, you believe in reencarnation, you are reencarnated. You are an aetheist, you're worm dirt. You are an agnostic, you hang out with John Edward's folks, your Catholic, you talk to St. Peter and get some wings, etc.

When it comes to religious people, my pet peeve is the 1 hour folks. They are the ones that sing the loudest in church, but don't follow their own beliefs. And its not just commandments, etc. Ex. you many of you God fearing folk, flip somebody off because they cut in front of you in traffic or make a mistake or expect your kids to lie about where you are when someone calls the house yet you say to tell the truth.

I just wish that EVERYONE would at least do the "treat others as you would like to be treated" (yes, I am awre of the religious version of this saying). I am not saying to run out into the street and be obnoxiously friendly with everyone, but show the consideration that you expect to be given to you.

i've known a couple of people who claim to have died and come back...i also know those who are bible bashers(speak in tounges, go crazy in the pews basically not knowing what the F*ck they are doing and so far from scripture)..i even had one of them say in general conversation with others that he believes you have to speak in tounges to get to heaven...i slapped a bible onto the table and said,"all right mister know it all, show me in the word where it says that"...he couldn't find anything.....anyway, i admire those who will spend their last moments with their family...i would spend the last hours with them but first i'd have to take care of business.........
and what was wrong with my web link?? i find it interesting how even some can take scripture from the bible and exploit it out of text...far beyond what your Saturday night religous rompers can even do with it.....

Lust was created beginning with hymn
When we indulge we are guilty of sin
Torture our lives with confusion and lies
Mass contradiction, religious facades (Deicide)

I wasn't going to reply to this topic but I did have one comment to make. You can't earn your way into heaven. Being good or bad won't help or hurt your chances of getting in. It's a gift to us from God. Jesus paid for it so we don't have to. That being said that doesn't give us the right to go out and sin. Like it was said earlier we need to repent of our sins or better yet have a repentent heart. Will that keep us from sinning? No we are human but the closer you get to Jesus and the stronger your relationship you have with him the less you will sin. And I think all this talk of hypocrates stems from people who don't have a strong relationship or maybe no relationship at all. But as a Christian it is not in my job description to judge those or any people.

[tgpo]

I'd rather spend every Sunday with a Church filled with hypocrates than spend eternity in hell with everyone who with didn't. I heard that somewhere and really liked the sound of it.

[alucard2050]

ACDC says hell aint a bad place to be. ...lets face it, there is no hell...what kind of a God would create a creature knowing that that creation is just going to denounce him and God will send him to hell anyway? God knows the future correct? So obviously he knows the fate of each individual..Once again, why create a being to just send them to hell and accomplish nothing by creating that creature....What does God have to gain from that? why bother with the worthless and just create the ones that will worship you.....

[i-on-s]

I'm gonna call jesus up later and ask if he wants to go grab a beer and some chicken wings and maybe go play some pool with john the baptist and elvis cause that is what friends do.

[drewson99]

superstition.

oh dear, I better sit in this room an hour each week and close my eyes while this other guy talks because if I don't I'll go to a place where goats stick pitchforks in my ass because the man with the white beard who sits in the clouds doesn't like it if I don't. Oh yeah, and don't masturbate either.

[tgpo]

Okay, well I think this conversation has reached an end. Good topic!
