| | god .... its all in your head say scientists Page 11 of 11 (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11) | Funny, I always did think god was in peoples heads/minds. He can't be seen, you can't touch him but people believe in him, believe in his existence and surely, if that is what helps them through life and death then there is nothing wrong with it. People's belief bring them together, they find support in each other. Some people become extremeists, as in any other way of life but for the majority it's simply a connection.
If I had to choose between god and science, I would go with science.
I don't put my faith in god, I am not a believer therefore I have nothing to fear nor rejoice in death. I won't spend my last days drooling in a nursing home, having nappies changed. I will choose when I have had enough.
I don't feel that I have lost out by not believing in god but would never knock those who do. It's all down to choice and opinion. At the end of the day, so long as you are happy with the choices you make, does it really matter who is right. | |

Posted: 5/13/2012 11:34:59 AM | I am not saying that is how I would actually PREFER to end my days Gemini. Like most people I would like to pop off in my sleep when I have reached the end of a productive full ife and ideally before I lose touch with reality and dont recognise who is stood in front of me.
Having said that I dont think I am brave enough to choose someone like "Dignitas" or some other euthanasia clinic and decide that now is the time to die. Most of us will die at a time when we are either not aware we are about to or at a time when we would rather not.
BUt...I totally agree with you when you say " I don't feel that I have lost out by not believing in god but would never knock those who do. It's all down to choice and opinion. At the end of the day, so long as you are happy with the choices you make, does it really matter who is right. " | |

Posted: 5/13/2012 12:06:56 PM | Pete, I didn't mean that to be specific to your comment, it's just one of the generalisations made regarding getting old. As much as I love my grandmother, I don't want to end up the way she is now.
I have my Living Will and have had since I was 35, as does my mother. We have contact details to ensure a dignified death, unfortunately it doesn't come cheap. You say you are not brave enough to make the decision, truth is, I'm not brave enough not to make sure I have that option. I would love to just drift off in my sleep, but if that isn't going to be the case, I want a dignified death in so far as is possible.
I don't plan on waiting until 'god' calls me or 'scientifically' my body just wears out bit by bit. I may have to make a decision earlier than I and my family would wish but that's the law at the moment. | |

Posted: 5/18/2012 12:27:08 AM | even if it was underwritten by the Vatican ,, it still shows very poor judgement..
but it is typical of the church to put fear into its congregation..
also It reinforces the argument that the church or any other faith should not be represented in the house of lords.. | |
