Do you suppose the answers to all the big questions are made known to you when you die?
What would be the fun in that?
I’m an atheist. If there is a God and he spoke to me on my deathbed, I have the distinct feeling he’d sound like Nelson Muntz.
Good lord. I should hope not. I’d be too busy dying.
No, but I’m going to scare the bejesus all my relatives by screaming out “the Horror, the Horror!” on my deathbed. It’ll give 'em something to think about.
Nope. One minute you’re breathing. The next minute you’re meat. Simple as that.
What good would it do to have anything revealed on your deathbed anyway?
I’d hate for that to be the case. Because I could have spent my life drinking beer and lazing around instead of trying to figure things out for myself.
Yes, once you die you are greeted by Jesus. You don’t even have to ask the questions, your soul just automatically becomes part of God’s infinite consciousness in which all is revealed.
I know this is true. Would you like a citation? Ummmmm, just pray alot. And read the holy scriptures, especially Acts, Proverbs, Pronouns, Adverbs, and my favorite, the Gospel according to Jebus.
Well, technically you’re meat before you stop breathing, but that’s not something most people like to ponder on their deathbeds.
Of course, and at the very last, God says to us “unbelievers,” - “Gotcha you stupid bastard!” Such a scenario seems to me to be consistent with His treatment of all who are not of His tribe as depicted in the Old Testament.
Yes, the ultimate truths are revealed: You die. It doesn’t matter how educated, “enlightened”, or self-important you are–you get to die anyway, along with all those unenlightened ordinary blue collar types that make such great sneer targets.
I don’t know if there are ultimate truths revealed, but you do get the final answers in this life. Kind of like a cosmic who wants to be a millionaire:
“Is that your final answer?”
“Of course it is you nit, I’m dying…urk”
:o
Later…
I don’t know about the rest of you, but the Dalai Lama told me that on my deathbed I would receive total consciousness, so I have that going for me.
What if God says “Gotcha ya!”
Then you’re allowed to say “Oh, fucko off.”
No, but I believe people reveal their own truths on their deathbeds.
When there’s a deathbed confession or accusation it is always to be believed.
I’ve already seen my future where I’m lying in my deathbed and it sucks. I KNOW I’ll be regretting not having lived enough in my life, and being too consumed with my petty vanity and other such things.
But I’m still continuing to be indifferent and resistant to changing my way of living, go figure :mad:
Yes. On your deathbed, it’s finally revealed that there is no god.
Actually . . . you wouldn’t get the satisfaction of knowing, because once you were dead you wouldn’t be conscious to understand that you weren’t in some sort of afterlife.
If everything is revealed to you on your deathbed then I’m very certain God is an even bigger bastard/bitch than I currently suspect. Wait til it does you NO EFFING GOOD and then tell you anything.
In other words… I hope not.
