I have a hard time believing in a lot of religions because a lot of them have been twisted from what they originally were because their leadership abused the control of people earlier in history

dont be a sad cunt, get out there and make shit happen
read 'the birth and death of meaning' and 'the death denial' by ernest becker
learn that death and death anxiety is a force for good as well as evil, harness that anxiety to be a sick cunt

why bother thinking about death or what comes after? you've been given a life, you should be dedicated time towards the present and the rest of your life.
though i am a hypocrite and i do find myself thinking about death from time to time. the best case scenario is a happy perfect afterlife i.e. heaven where you will be with your loved ones till the end of time. however i don't like dwelling on the worst case scenarios, such as there being NOTHING after death i.e. endless sleep, or the idea of continuous reincarnation. for example as soon as you die, boom, you're placed into the life of a newborn baby. the latter particularly terrifies me because it suggests that nothing in your life matters, and nothing in your future lives will ever matter.
that being said, im against nihilism because it drags me down and makes the world seem bleak for me (in fact i'd go as far to say it's the epitome of evil, not to imply that i think nihilists are purposefully evil wicked human beings, but i just think the thought is as anti-life as it gets and is the most destructive viewpoint on life). i like to believe in a omniscient being of sorts with an afterlife for me to be with my loved ones

i decided to let you have solace instead of explaining my beliefs
death is a sensitive subject for most people as long as they find peace in coming to terms with it i dont have any intention of changing it

If you would have asked me this question a year ago. I was in a dark place and some days I envied the dead. I honestly see it different now. I just thought how selfish I was being by thinking that kind of shit. I am not afraid to die. I am afraid to die for my family and friends as I know how much a death of a young family member can impact their life. The thing is. Don't think about death is to easy. As soon as you think that you shouldn't think about it you're all ready doing so. What I just do is see life as a opportunity or a gift that I have been given. What if I never had this gift in the first place? These 20 years that I have all ready been given is all ready a experience of life on it's own. I don't know what to believe about death. The thing I see it as is a eternal sleep when I am scared about it and I for instance think of my loved ones as spirits that are always by my side. Sometimes I want to change my life so that these spirits will be happy. I don't want to go in to much detail but a loved one told me I should keep on trying my best at school. I never actually tried in my entire life but since this year I changed my behavior because I think if she would actually be by my side that would make her the most happy. Anyway hope this helps. Life is something that you can make amazing but you don't have to honestly try everyday. For instance me playing videogames makes me feel like my life is worth while. Others think I am wasting it but I couldn't care less.

the only thing i'd be anxious about is those ten minutes between being clinically dead and being biologically dead
like those ten minutes where your brain is still alive, and your body is slowly failing organ by organ - your heart stopping and all that shit
what does that feel like? does it hurt?
i am not worried about being dead, its dying that is cause for some thought, but nothing that keeps me awake at night
anyway, either there is something after we die or there is not - i am more persuaded that there isn't
as a guy who likes to learn shit (massive brain, btw) it's good to know that one day i'll know the answer to the question everybody wants to know

I sometimes think about the difference between dying and death itself. People say that dying is painful but death itself is like being slowly covered by a warm and comfy blanket.
