    Total Hypothetical. What if Trump died in the next few months.

    I'm not suggesting that anyone should kill DJT. Or anything crazy like that. But what happens to the world if that happens? What happens to his co-conspirators? What happens to the court cases outstanding? What happens to the convicted Jan 6 rioters in prison? Or the MAGATS? Any thoughts?

    Would you prefer there to be nothing after death?

    I'm not sure I really regard myself an Atheist, I don't really believe in God, but one thing I completly do not believe in is an afterlife. It just seems completly and utterly illogical that once your brain waves stop, they fly away and go somewhere else. If there was a God, I don't think he...

    On Death and Dying, is there a "Rally" before Death?

    It is a common belief/perception among Physicians and Nurses that in many terminally ill patients, there is a brief period of clinical, well being improvement shortly before death. I just had an octogenarian with multiple problems (COPD, Cardiomyopathy, ESRD, PVD) that refused mechanical...

    'Dying' now officially less likely

    I wasn't sure whether to put this in humour or another forum, but I couldn't let this headline go to waste: ASPIRIN CUTS RISK OF DYING BY 25% Wow.

    If You Were Dying...

    If you were dying would you pray? Why or Why not? Seriously consider, if you only had a few seconds before death what you would think about? I would hope to have a soul, think about people I love and to try my best to survive. Maybe tell a funny joke depending on if anyone is polish.

    Dying in the philosophy of Epicurus

    Last night I caught the tail end of a dramatization of the life of King Henry the 8th on Phoenix's PBS affiliate. As he struggled for breath on his deathbed, surrounded by his courtiers, one of Henry's advisors grasped his hand and asked anxiously, "Do you die in the faith of Christ?" The...

    Dying motherboard?

    It all started when the PC wouldn't boot when I was pressing the button. For a couple of weeks, I had to press the reset button a couple of minutes after I had turned the PC on, and then it would beep once and boot normally. Everything was normal as long as the PC was warm. I could shut it down...

    To More Inmates, Life Term Means Dying Behind Bars

    Dying To Win

    Diane Rehm had the author of this book, Pape, on the show this morning. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1400063175/wamu-20/103-0485602-0443807?dev-t=D39XLW81EN6ZFS His essential premis is that suicide bombings are not an expression of religious jihad or "they hate us because we're free"...

    How did Jesus dying save us from our sins?

    I ask this question as an atheist who finds this question utterly perplexing. I cannot attach a meaningful concept to the statement "Jesus died to save us from our sins". Hopefully, the various Christians, theologists and just good ol' thinkers without an -ian or an -ist can help me with this.

    What to tell a dying child?

    This is mainly a question for those who do not believe in the existence of an afterlife. This is a totally hypothetical situation...Thank Jebus I've never had to deal with it. The situation: You have a six year old child who has been diagnosed with a terminal illness. He will most certainly...

    How can some people seem to have no fear of dying?

    Now sort of rate yourself. Do you have a fear of it? Is it what you would think is a normal fear or an irrational fear? Is it holding you back from accomplishing some things you might like to try? Would you consider climbing some skyscraper by only your fingernails? Would you bungee jump over...

    Photos of Dying Diana..

    http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=518&ncid=732&e=1&u=/ap/20040422/ap_on_re_eu/britain_diana_pictures I didn't see the show, and think that showing photos like this...of anyone...is certainly in bad taste. However, I am bemused that the British press would be screaming about the...

    Iraq's WMD's Position Ratted Out by Sick, Dying Syrian Journalist...If we can believe

    Debka version: A senior Syrian journalist reports Iraq’s WMD located in three Syrian sites. Nizar Najoef, a Syrian journalist who recently defected from Syria to Western Europe and is known for bravely challenging the Syrian regime, said in a letter Monday, January 5, to Dutch newspaper “Di...

    Lions are Dying Out

    http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2003/10/06/1065292528615.html For 90% of the population to die out in less than 20 years is incredible. I would hope the alarm bells are ringing somewhere that action is needed to preserve them.
