-Do you believe in life after death?
-Do you believe that death should be morned
or that the person who has died's life should be celebrated
-Are you afraid of death
------------------------
-In a way I do, religious wise? no.
but if you are buried you will either support life for insects, or support the growth of vegetation
I believe that we, as curious humans, are scared of the unknown, and one of the biggest of the unknowns is what comes after death
to ease this fear, we come up with religions that we pass on to ease others
-I believe you should morn at first and then afterwards celebrate the life that person lived
especially at a funeral.
-imo everyone is in a certain extent but overall no, I am not.

My life? Nope. There is no life for me after death. It is called death.
Depends on the person, and how important is he/she to that one person. It is usually a self-satisfaction type thing since the dead will never know.
Yea, I am afraid of death. I want to keep living because there is still stuff to do.

I will die, that is an inevitability. When I do, so be it.

-not really
-well, mourning is the respectful thing to do, but again, it depends on what the person did with their life.
-of course, it's complete nonexistence. none of us will know how it feels until we die, and I feel like being afraid of the unknown is normal.

1. Not really. Death is death, there's a reason why everything after is unknown.
2. Mourning just seems to be the right thing to do. Not much of a celebration if who you're celebrating isn't there to partake in it.
3. I don't think worrying about something that's unavoidable is the way to live life. So no, I don't really fear death.

~ Nope. But there are many beliefs revolving around that. Who knows, there may be just reincarnations of some sort, similar to a dead person. A lot of people remind someone else of others most of the time normally too, so if a new person is born and reminds someone else of someone who already passed away, it could be just purely coincidental.
It would be nice to reincarnated or have a life after death anyways. In a way, it's more like believing you're in hell or heaven when you die.
~ I suppose it should be. Besides, the care to have everyone participating at the funeral should be enough, if they are particularly close to the person who has died. It doesn't need to be celebrated several times, because for some people, it is really hard on them to remember someone who has died who was off much importance to them.
Celebration doesn't seem as reasonable, since it's not really necessary anymore if the person isn't there to share the happiness and fun ion the celebration with everyone.
~ I'm not scared of death, so if I die, then so be it.
But. The only thing that I'm just scared of dying first before anyone else close to me does. I mean this by like, if you die first, then you sure make your friends and family cry a good lots and all if they were particularly close to you.
So, if you died last, then you would cry over the people who have died before you if they were important to you. But if you died last, no one would need to be there to cry over you, so you could pass on without worries, without them carrying the sadness and burden of someone important passing away.

- Nay, I don't. I believe that this is all there is, which is why it's a waste to be naive or live your life doing things simply because you assume you'll go to heaven or some sh*t.
- I can't think of any situation where death should be celebrated on a normal person. If the person is a rapist, murder or something of that nature, then yes. You should piss on their grave and mutilate the body. I know I would. But otherwise? No. I know when the only person I love dies I'll probably off myself as-well.
- I'm not afraid of death in the sense that I am afraid of dying. I am however terrified of being alone/losing my Mom.

Well, I'm conceited enough to believe that I'm really a divine being playing a joke on myself, or being punished for something I've done, or paying an unavoidable price for my actions. So, yes. I also believe in a reincarnation/rebirth cycle.
None of the world's current religions though.

-No. You exist because of electric signals in your brain. Once that stops, you're completely gone. I don't believe in the existence of a spirit/soul etc.
-Mourned, then celebrated after an appropriate length of time. You can't be sad about someone's passing forever.
-Not really. I believe there's nothing after death, so once you die, there's no time to feel sad about the fact that you're dead, or that you had dreams you didn't realize, or people you're leaving behind. So yeah, I'm not scared of death because there'll be nothing left of me to give a **** after I am dead. What I am scared of is being sick/crippled/old/living with similar problems. That's worse than death. Then again, to most people, many things would be worse than death, since there's literally nothing felt in death.

-Do you believe in life after death?
I honestly don't know what to think happens after death. The idea of my being just ceasing to exist is too odd to consider, but so is my being continuing to exist.
-Do you believe that death should be morned
or that the person who has died's life should be celebrated
It's only natural to mourn a death right when it happens, and the length of time people need to grieve varies from person to person. That's how most people cope with death.
But after grief, I think celebration should take place. Like thinking of the good times and laughing over what a person did while he/she was still alive.
-Are you afraid of death
Yes and no. That goes back to my not knowing of what happens after death, but at the same time, if I'm going to die, I'm going to die. It's inevitable.

-Morned I guess.
-death itself doesn't scare me.. it's letting go of the things I have here or may gain here that kinda saddens me and make me feel complexed about death.

I would like to believe in life after death, but I don't. It's like trying to predict what's going to happen 3 months from now, which is kinda impossible, so I don't worry about it.
I believe people's lives should be celebrated, instead of mourned. Crying everyday isn't so fun. Remembering the good times is though.
And no, I'm not afraid of dying, as it is something that I can't control. I am afraid of dying before accomplishing some of the things I want to do in life though. I don't wanna go away knowing that I could've done so much more. That's like wasting a life.
