I've challenged my beliefs. What is the book about?


I find that this is usually untrue. If religious people honestly, diligently and intelligently challenged their beliefs, there would be no religious people.

Now I'm sitting here in a darkened ICU room, wondering how to deal with it.
Find someone who can perform 8th level rituals and pay him to cast raise dead, duh.

You guys may want to do your jobs better if that's the case.


Did you just say that to Bobcast, Rose?
Wow.

Butt ugly ape” remarked Sergeant Johnson always making fun out of the situation even though he had been hit by a spiker round in the arm. He mustered up the strength to continue and the team moved on. The Arbiter informed him that the next room held The Prophet of Truth and this was the final room before extraction. Jun proposed that he takes a shot from a distance the prophet and they all head back to the ship bay for extraction. The team agreed on this and breached the last door…

Studies show that men think about sex every 7 seconds. I do my best to eat hotdogs in under 6, just so things don't get weird.

Hopefully, you read the OP. I have to ask you, how do you deal with it? Obviously I didn't know the guy. He was as unknown to me as anyone. Yet, I can't help but feel a little unnerved by it. I've seen people die before. A kid shot himself in my basic training class, and my brothers and I held our dad's hand when they pulled the life support.

This was so...random. Just a stranger showed up, blam he's dead.

How do you deal with that?

It wasnt a person, but my dog that I had for over 9 years. I went outside to feed him, and I couldnt find him. After some looking I found him on the side of the house breathing heavy. He had eaten some glass and had it in his lungs abd stomach. He looked at me...coughed a bit of blood...and just died. I sat there for ten minutes tears going down my face. (sheds single man-tear in rememberance)

Yes, a few months ago my cousin passed away. Our cousin was mentally and physically disabled and we (being my family and I) were his caretakers and so he lived with us. Prior to this he was admitted to the hospital for developing skin sores as he was old and growing weaker (in his 60s) and has been confined to a wheel chair for his entire life. After taking time in the hospital he was released into care of a nursing home for quite a few months, I don't remember how many exactly... Anyhow, while at the nursing home they didn't train him physically so he became entirely bedridden and so when he returned back home he remained in his bedroom all day listening to music (thankfully his ultimate pleasure).

Well, he developed a bad stomach infection which required major surgery to fix... But it was risky, and even if it worked, his quality of life would decrease, and it was already low by being sick and bedridden and needing complete assistance with everything. My cousin was always against surgery of any kind, even to having skin graphs made for his sores. He said no, which meant the infection would most likely kill him unless by a miracle his body would heal itself.

He had been taken to the hospital to determine this but wished to come home and die with us. We prepped for it and had all the equipment ready for his room so he would die in peace and without pain, but before they could transport him, his blood pressure dropped too low and so they couldn't allow transport. He stayed in the hospital for two more weeks on morphine drip until we got the call he was passing.

It was the hardest thing I've ever watched in my life... My cousin lying in bed, unresponsive, pale as a ghost and gasping for breathes in patterns of 3 or 4 breathes every 20 seconds. This was slow and terrible, until he finally and (literally) fluttered his final breathe an hour later and simply lay there.

The nurse said she would call the doctor to confirm, but I couldn't take it. We all knew it, so I left and walked home by myself, breaking down after I got out of the elevator. The thing that hits hardest about it is before he passed he told me he'd like to hear me play piano again (I play piano and would play for him) and would really like to listen. I never got that chance again.

If you can read this, that means I'm not a Shaolin monk...

I gaze upon the stars and see the majesty that is the universe.


EGO mos bulla astrum.

Not directly but I was there right before they took my grandma off life support. Always wonder what's going through your head when your just an unconscious shell. :/

Jack of all trades, master of none.

Every second someone dies. If you get sad every time it happens, you would end up suicideing. It's just part of life.

Although, I'm not the sort of guy who does emotion very well, so I probably don't know how you're feeling.

  • 12.28.2012 4:43 PM PDT

Be sure to tell everyone how cool you are. If you don't tell them, they won't know.

I saw a kid get hit by a car.

  • 12.28.2012 4:44 PM PDT

Don't worry, you're still your mom's favorite Bnet member.

Thankfully no.

Deal with it by thinking about the end waiting for us all at some point.

Would you prefer to deteriorate slowly or to die without realising like he probably did?

I understand nothing because my life is a conspiracy.

I've seen many organisms die, but not humans.

Edit: Scratch that, when I was 5, I saw an old man on a hospital roller-table-thing with a towel over his face soaked in blood. He probably didn't make it, but I was too young to tell.

The Internet is an empowerment tool that's agnostic; it doesn't care about race, gender, or age.

Nope.

I am assuming direct control.

A year and a half ago the neighbors across the river (100ft maybe) got into an argument. I was on the pier when I started hearing gunshots. I saw one of them running before getting hit in the back and going down. Both men were killed.

Luckily, not so far.

Now sit down and pull your pants back up.

Yes. Death was there by his side when he passed. You'd think that he would just get back up...

As for how I deal with it, I accept death at any given moment. The world gave you life and it will take it whenever it so pleases.

You're obviously not very good at your job then.

And he entered the service of the Dark Tower when it first rose again, and because of his cunning he grew ever higher in the Lord's favour; and he learned great sorcery, and knew much of the mind of Sauron; and he was more cruel than any orc.

Nah. I saw a guy break his back and a wrist a few months ago and I saw his dog die, but that's the closest I've ever been.

After 13 years of life and death, I've just gotten used to it.

This would be a good time to point out that the US Government seriously did consider nuking the moon during the Cold War as a show of force. Project A119.

"A large explosion on the Terminator line would put the sun behind the mushroom cloud, making the explosion visible with the naked eye from Earth."

Then the US decided they'd just send in Neil Armstrong to land on it. Neil Armstrong - the one man on the earth that was considered a suitable replacement for a nuclear missile.

I've seen three people die. Two of my grandparents. One from a massive heart attack and the other from a stroke which lead to a tumor exploding in her head. The third was a good friend of mine that was killed in a car crash. I was following him home from a football game we went to go see, and when he went through the intersection, another car T-boned him on the driver side.

It's not a very easy thing to go through. Actually witnessing the death is a lot different than hearing second hand that someone you know has died. You'll never forget that moment. It's burned into your memory forever.

Did you know that dolphins are so intelligent, that within only a few weeks of captivity, they can train Americans to stand at the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.

Unfortunately yes.

My father slipped away in my arms after a battle with lung cancer.

A very sad, moving experience.
