OT: Death

[Gryphin]

If "Heaven" is what I think it should be then I have it made. Since I am adopting Wicca as my de facto Religion and Heaven is like they believe then cool I'm all set. At the moment I feel there aint no proof of anything so one can only hope.

"What Dreams are Made" is a great movie. I really enjoyed it.

[David E. Gervais]

What happens after Death? I believe that we become 'Coporeal Lurkers'. So many of us here in the forums are more than ready, and won't be too surprised.

Of course those of us who do more posting than lurking will be severely shocked when we are forced to lurk and have no way to 'affect' the world as we know it.

nuf said. Cheers!

Remember the movie where the man says if you point a gun at me in your dreams, you had better wake up and apologize?

Well, if any one ever dreams a bad thing about this game, then they should wake up and apolozie.

When I kick off, I would like to have my SE IV Gold, my Tribes 1 and 2 cds buried or creamated with me.

My big dream would be to have my ashes placed in a model of NCC 1701 and tossed out of the space shuttle into the oblivion of space.

(A few other things I want to come with me as well, but those are private.)

If death is what we each hope it is, then I'd call it a reward.

If death is what we believe it to be, then I'd call it a cruel joke on pessimists.

My dad says he had a nightmare one, where he died and went to the afterworld, and it was full of terrible singing people with hair of terror - TV Evangelical Christians! Now that's a cruel fate!

Cruel would be to die and then wake up in your old life knowing exactly how it will go and being able to do nothing about it. Or at least that would be hell for me. Wait... I am in hell now!

You would think with all the bad luck I have had in my life, God blames me personally for the death of his son. As if I was the guy who tacked him to that cross or something.

If I was, I AM SORRY! Ok, so lighten up on me God!

Seriously, if you have not read the book Sphere, you should consider doing so. Especially if you have not seen the movie. It is very easy to believe that life, and death, are what we believe them to be.

I've read Sphere, but that was a few years ago and I don't remember all of the details. I'll take your word for it, because I think that was one of Crichton's worse books. I didn't really care for it enough to read it again.

I read most of his books and I would have to say that it was a nice read. Better than most books I read that year by far. Well except for the Alchemist. That boook was goood.
