Aren't you afraid to die?

Are you afraid of Thor? Are you afraid that because you didn't live a manly life of looting, wenching and killing that you will not be able to enjoy the pleasures of Valhalla?

Any evidence for that? Got any sources? WWN or the Enquirer don't count.

Damn. There go most of my sources.

BTW, "Batboy: The Musical" is currently playing in London. Apparently it's actually surprisingly good.

I'm certainly afraid to die - there'll be no more me after that, which is a pretty horrific thought! Of course I won't care then, because there won't be a me to care, but there's a me now, and the idea is pretty horrible to me.

But so what? No matter how scary death might be, there's no alternative so I just have to lump it.

What do you think, could an endeavour to diminish one's ego (if that is even possible) result in getting rid of that fear?

Yeah! Get to it! You have a quota to fill of raping, looting, pillaging and killing! I expect it done before supper! :D

I doubt it. Anyway, I wouldn't want my ego diminished. It's small enough as it is.

I have always thought that this might work. You may notice that most religions have some sort of ego-reducing component to their doctrine and practice.

Do any atheists here think they might derive benefit from fasting, giving alms, etc.?
 
I'm late and I haven't participated and a wombat ate my homework. Can I still have a shiny ribbon?

No, but you can win your choice of consolation prizes

1) Boot to the head

2) Having a rabid wolverine dropped into your trousers.

Both also come with a copy of our home game. Thanks for playing.

I could stand to lose a few pounds, okay many more than a few. Fasting might accomplish that. Beyond that, nothing I can think of. Giving alms to me would be no differnet than giving to charity, which I do because I beleive in the charities cause, it has nothing to do with reducing my ego.

But by giving to charity, you are being empathetic to the needs and sufferings of others. By doing so, you are acknowledging that you are not more important than they...which seems to be a reduction in ego if you're self-absorbed as most individuals are.

Really? Cool!

The tagline for it was "A love story with bite!"

Yeah, I've actually seen it once before, and that sounds about right. :)

I suppose the "bite" refers to the incest. :D
