There is only one God and his name is Death.

[Aquitaine]

Death is dependent on life for it's existence: if there were no life, there could be no death. Can something with a conditional existence be called God?

You're right. Death is just the end of life. There are countless potential lifeforms that don't exist, but they weren't killed off nor did they die, they just weren't born. No life = no death.

Weird.....

Well I believe in a god but I fail to understand how he is killing us. Considering the fact that god would not be as concerned with this physical existence as opposed to the spiritual is quite logical. Humans are born into suffering and agony and the primary cause of it is humans, not god. God does not make humans suffer, humans make humans suffer.

I was using the word's of Marylin manson, that is what he believes and it is kind of cool when your ticked off at everything. I am not an atheist but I am also not a baptist anymore either.

 

[Sir Doom]

I've never died before. But I've been alive as long as I can remember. There is only one thing certain. I am alive.

 

[Pegg]

A thought:

There is only one thing that I can be certain about in this Universe - and that is - that I will Die.

Therefore, the only True thing I know is Death.

What if God is Death - you literally give your Life to Death.. Thus life is an offering made unto Death - the more you live the more experiences you have, the more you have to give your God.

Death comes to us All... no matter what creed.

Why not worship Death? As it is to worship Life. Worship Death by living your Life.

my first thought to your suggestion is that you would only ever be able to perform an act of worship to such a god 'once' in your life.

Death requires death. So you wouldnt be able to make a life long commitment to such a god.... as soon as you tried to give him what he wanted, you'd be dead. The end.

I know that you were using Marilyn Manson's words. I just fail to see how one can agree with such a claim. I have always regarded him as a shock artist who will say and do anything for immediate perturbative value.

I do not really agree with his statement i was just trying to make a point.

Vanakkam,

Why make life and death separate anyway ? Death depends on life to exist, but life have no meaning without death :0 Since nothing is eternal, life would be the greatest torture for wordly people, to see their body decay and be reduced at nothing, yet not letting go of physical body.

I do not consider Siva separate of death. He is the life that bring you here, and He is the death that rob you, to make you alive again.

Aum Namah Shivaya

Vanakkam,

life has no meaning if it must end in death

"let us eat drink and be merry for tomorrow we are to die"

Whats the point of living at all?

exactly.

I know some people here have suggested they might be immortal....
But I know the moment of Death will come to me... perhaps tomorrow, perhaps in 60years...
And when I say worship - I mean, as I have inferred others here to mean, that you revere that final moment of Life - and imagine asking yourself - have I done what I came to do? Have I got something unique to offer the akasha? Have I learned what I came ehre to learn?

All these things are asked at Death, or by Death....

Yes worship was perhaps the wrong word, I prefer revere; hold sacrisanct; respect and admire.

I like the person who is quoting Castanada - it won't let me give you any more Frubals...

Someone once used the analogy that we were all an Eye of God - a way for God to percieve itself.
Thus when we die we dowload our experience of god, to God.
Death is the download manager....

Ok....but that doesn't mean the program is deleted.

Life after death would still be interactive.

(God being spiritual.....and you have no share in that existence?)

I can see what you are getting at and I think you will appreciate this quote:

“A good name is better than precious ointment; and the day of death than the day of one’s birth. It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the house of feasting: for that is the end of all men; and the living will lay it to his heart."

King Solomon spoke these words.

 

[John Martin]

Dear Sir,
We need to distinguish with LIFE that has no DEATH and life that has death. God is LIFE and It has no DEATH. God continuously manifests life. Often God is presented as ever green tree. Our physical bodies are like leaves that appear on the Tree of life. The appearance of a leaf is birth and the fall of a leaf is death. Life and death are a play on the Tree of LIFE. If we identify only with a leaf then death is our destiny. If we discover that we are the Tree then we see life and death as appearance of a leaf and fall of life, appearance of a wave and its disappearance on the ocean of LIFE.
Living means to manifest eternity in the present moment. If our present moment is just vehicle for the past to go into the future then our present is dead. It has no life. Dying to the past allows us to live in the present originally and creatively. In this sense death is a gate way to life. In Katha Upanishad, Yama the God of death teaches the young seeker Nachiketas the way to eternity. The art of living consists in the art of dying moment by moment. Hence keeping death in front of us always makes our life alive. At the moment of death we concentrate on what is essential.

Dear Sir!?
i'm used to "oi, Miss!" hehe


What a beautiful post. I really really enjoyed the first paragraph and love the Tree of Life analogy.

To the send part I offer this quote:

ATu XIII - The Book of Thoth

The Universe is Change; every Chaneg is the
effect of an Act of Love; all Acts of Love contain
Pure Joy. Die daily.
Death is the Apex of one curve of the snake of Life:
behold all opposites as necessary compliments
and rejoice.
- Aleister Crowley

What is the one thing we say to Death? - YouTube

 

[Visionary28]

Life and Death are like the phases of the moon or changing of seasons. All is one, one is all. Neither marks an end or a beginning. The cycle is complete. Life would be devoid of joy or meaning without death, just as death would with no existence of life. Therefore, to worship death is to worship life.

 

[Almustafa]

Hail Bhairava! Hail Kali-MA!
death is the state of the deathless!

 

[John Martin]

nuff said in the word's of Marylin Manson, death is our GOD killing us all. It is true in a way if you believe in god or a goddess.

LIFE has no DEATH. Life and death are two sides of the same coin. The art of living consists in the art of dying. Living is to be the present moment. For this we need to die to the past. We need to die to each moment. Death is a gate way to life. We need to discover also LIFE that has no DEATH.
In Hinduism one God, Brahman, who is LIFE or creativity, and has no DEATH, presides over as Brahma, creator, Vishnu,as preserver, and Shiva, as the discontinuer(death). So God is the God of birth, the God of growth and the God of Death but He is also beyond these three. He or it is LIFE. We need to experience all of these. We can worship God in all these aspects.

 

[Almustafa]

the words are interchangable once one knows what they mean...
death is eternal life, & life is but a fraction of death
