Umm... that's actually a line which came out during Nietzche's life... I think he even responded to it...

Oh well. Nietzche went insane anyway.

There is nothing in the Bible that says that souls are immortal. Nothing.

Would that be such a bad thing?

You have my condolences. PM me or message me on AIM if you want to talk.

Protoclown There's nothing wrong with crying.

AChimp Psst! This is the part where you say, "Oh yeah! I wasn't crying. Stiff upper lip, dude!"
Apr 1st, 2004 07:56 PM
Immortal Goat My girlfriend wouldn't have cared. She would have been crying right there, too. She knew him as well, but she can't handle funeral homes.

Cosmo Electrolux she would have blown him in the coffin showroom

AChimp What if the girl you like found out?

Immortal Goat Just got back from the calling hours. I was hoping to make it without crying, but I couldn't. The funny thing is that I didn't cry when I saw the body. It was when they brought in his old football uniform in a frame that it really hit me that he was never going to wear it again. Not that you would know it, but I don't cry, and I couldn't help myself. I cried myself dry, and I'm not ashamed of it. I don't care who knows it.

I didn't mean it like that. I am not even sure of his faith.

I'm just saying that an event like this sometimes drives a person to be a little more introspective.

Sorry, Goat

Immortal Goat I find comfort in my belief system, and my friend's death isn't going to change it. All I was saying was that I was thinking things like "what if there IS no afterlife and I'll never be able to see him again, like I hope I can?" But, if my beliefs are true, then he's already either found eternal rest or is back here on earth to try it again.

P.S. Thanks, Cosmo. If I ever need to talk about it, I'll PM you. I am going to his calling hours in a little while. I can't make the funeral,though. It's this Saturday, and I have the ACT to take. I have delayed that too long.

Not to be preachy or anything, but do you want it to pass? Should you go back to your old way of thinking?

I always thought an event like this should get a person to change.

Cosmo Electrolux I understand what you're going through. Send me a PM if you want to talk.
