Death is simple, your body can no longer function so therefore you rot away and eventualy become part of the earth. I'll admit that waht your saying is based no more on fact than what im saying... I'm just stating how i see things from my point of view.
btw, you may want to check out the Anime Serial Experiments Lain. Most of the seccond part of the series starts to really look into the exsitance of a "god". It is actually my favorite anime and it has a superb plot.
I just want to point out to all of you that think there actually is a *god*. Look at it this way, if there are no people to believe in a god what is it?... its nothing. Look at the beliefs of ancient civilazations, what they thought of as being holly we laugh at as if its a joke because we see no reason in their beliefs. In my opinion I think religon is nothing more than a testimate to the fact humans are weak. People get so tied up some corkscrewed belief and start wars, kill people... Just becuase they dont beleive in the same thing. Just look at any wars that have happened in the past, more than half of them were started becuase of religon. Look at the Iraq conflict, Iraqi soldiers were told if they are killed in battle that they are garunteed passage into "heaven". That brings me to my next point, religon continues to exsist becuase people dont want to belive that once there dead they are gone. Death is not an entirely bad thing imo, and if your dead you dont care. I'm just waiting for the day that some terorist group comes up with the idea of claiming Jesus has come back in order to murder millions of Christians trying to get a free ride to heaven. OK. My rant is done and I feel better.
