Thank for all the replies guys, it really helped me take a different view on the subject and appreciate others thoughts

yea, it's common sense really.

Life is a gift. It's not a soul that was generated out of star dust to go to heaven.

Tube Worms have changed my outlook on life for ever.

One thing I do wonder about death, is if it will be as peaceful as 'they' say. I mean if you really were to get blown in half in war, I imagine your last seconds of life would be blissful. You probably would care less about the pain.

socrates said that he hoped that death would be an eternal and dreamless sleep. that sounds pretty good to me :]

Heaven exists. A place where no negative emotion or thought exists.

We re-incarnate to experience a life with negative emotion and thought, only to further advance our eternal souls (which live through many deaths).

We pre-determine the obstacles of our path to face and conquor our own specific goals and barriers.

Sound familiar?

It depends how I died. If in the dream I had to psyche myself up for death, basically knowing it was coming for a long while. I would be PISSED. If it just happened I would assume it was a dream.

i have often wondered if the experiece of death will be different depending on how you die. for instance, would a man who dies from a heart attack experience the same thing as a man who had an artillery shell land at his feet turning him into a mist? i think the man who dies from a heart attack would see the proverbial "white light" due to chemical reactions in the brain where as the the man who got mystified wouldnt see shit, it would be lights out.
