Now this is an honest question because I cant say I understand!
Here it is we are all born into life.
Is it a gift or a curse?
You see I'm wiccan and life is a gift and death is but a path back unto life and not to be feared but to be avoided until it is your time.
Untill then you are to relish life.
Now I hear some christians talking as though the only thing in the world they want is to die and go be with jesus.
Why is this?
I mean if God gave you life why would you want to waste it away wishing you were dead?
Surly you were given life for a reason..a reason other than to wait or fear death?
Best I can figure is the christian religian is all about death and none about life.
Who here fears death?
And if I may ask why?
And if getting to heaven is the only thing that is important why would you have even been born unto life?
God knows all before it happens dosnt he?
So life would not have been needed to weed out the wicked from the belivers would it?
I'm not asking the meaning of life I already know that at leat in my view point its differant for everyone.
I'm asking what is the meaning of your soul?
It your meaning death or life?
Now I understand there are christians who relish life but they always have this huge worry on thier shoulders about death and the meaning thier death will have be it good or bad.
but no matter how much they enjoy life still they dwell on death.
They want to know will they go to heaven when they die?
What is christianity about.
it is life or death?
If its death then why the big fuss over abortions or murder?
If its life why is death stressed so much?
If its a balance then why is it not balanced instead of stressing death?
I cant say I fear death in traditional sence.
I only fear my death early and what would happen to my children and partner if I were to die.
But death itself has touched me and I daresay it was plesant and not something I fear to move onto someday.
I just want to live as long as I can because I enjoy LIFE in all its pleasures and pains I love the way the wind blows and the feel of my cat puring on my shoulder.
And yes even the pain of life.
it reminds me I'm still alive i'm still human and I'm still tiny compaired to the sea.
To watch my children become adults and hopefully live up to all they can possibly be.
(maybe even see a few skinny grandchildren who knows)
But when my time comes I'm secure in it I dont fear death itself I only fear being seperated from those I love.
