Do you fear it? Do you dream of it? Is it good? Is it bad? What are your views on Death?
My Opinion:
Death is just another part of life. After death we all go to Heaven, to our dream land, where you can have whatever you want! You can BE whoever you want!! Doesnt that sound like paradise, like a dream?
[Yes, I am Christian. And you may nt be. I dont mean to offend you. Just excercising my freedom of speech.]

No, I don't fear it, although I do fear dying. I used to fear it, but history and chemistry made me realize that, though nothing lasts forever, everything does. As an agnostic Jew, I don't believe at all in the sort of Heaven you're talking about, but sometimes feel that in the end, even nothingness will likely be quite welcome. As for my dreams and daydreams, that viral quote, "I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad, the dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had" says it all.

I don't exactly fear death as much as what might kill me, such as being shot, dying of a terrible disease, like cancer. I'm catholic, I believe there is a heaven and hell, I've never really given much thought as to what heaven might look because I'm pretty sure I'm not going there, haha.

Death is truly inevitable. Though its not really Death itself that people fear, its the WAY of dying. As said by the other two, dying of a disease, being shot, or even drownning. Those scare people, as for myself, I dont care if I die, I know I will eventually. As for the way of death, anything BUT drownning, lol. And people talk about wanting to live forever, well the only thing that could live forever is a name and reputation. As for the heaven or hell thing. Eh, i believe in heaven and hell, though I truly dont know where I will go until i die.

I simply believe there is nothingness...and empty abyss where you lay cold and alone for eternity, unless you get curious and end up finding the way out.
I also believe that when you die, death comes to you in your most fondest memory.
I.E- Your friends taking you to your first movie. Death comes to you as your friends, or a movie/movie theater.

I look at death as an opportunity, you can go through your life fearing it or you can accept it and do all you can to live your life the way you want to.
Being someone that wants to join the military I look at my potential death in the service as a sacrifice, had I not been the one to die than someone else might have, so I indirectly save that person.
I think that if you live your life relatively guilt free that you go to your form of "paradise". But if you die full of guilt and regret you go..to...wherever it is that you don't want to go <.<

Being born and raised Catholic, I believe in heaven and hell. I dont fear living it is not knowing how i am going to die is what scares me. As for when i was in the Army my mother was constantly worried that i would be seriously injured or killed. I told her that was a risk i was willing to take when i put on my countries uniform. As for what i believe about hell I believe what the Bible says about it will come to be.

Strictly speaking, I have two beliefs when it comes to death:
1) We are re-incarnated as another person, or animal or object, depending on how we lived our first lives [If you where an a**, then you get re-incarnated as a a*****e, if you were good as could be, you get re-incarnated as a human or something x3]
OR
We just end. Our bodies rot in the ground, and we [as in our essence, or soul or whatever] just ends, and we go into a sleep.
Hard to explain, but I believ that we jsut sleep, and never again wake up.
[I actually go to a Catholic school, and the concept of Heaven and Hell just doesn't compute with me]

Death is an inevitability. There really is no point in fretting about something that's going to come wether or not you feel okay about it or not.
I don't like seeing it, but I don't fear it.
I've always thought about the afterlife like one long dream. You kind of just float around, feeling nothing, seeing nothing etc. It's not actually as depressing as it sounds. Kind of peaceful, really.

I'm afraid of dying without fufilling something or without accomplishing something grad in my lifetime.
I don't want to die being a nobody.

I really don't feel that I can define a religion to myself. I take in ideas of Christianity, Buddhism and of past Native American and German tradition. Basically, I believe in the afterlife and reincarnation, and that this life currently is meant to discover a purpose and a few lessons useful for our overall life. I also believe that our soul mates (nothing romantic, just the people we feel our souls connect completely with… you know, you have that special connection with a friend, or an aunt, etc.) stay with us forever, and also return to this life in different forms. I do also believe that the worth of a "mere plant/animal" is just as important as ours, for they too reincarnate. Therefore, it’s essential for me to treat all things as “worthy”, ‘cause that ant really just might be my aunt.

i think that death is very interesting. i don't look forward to my death, but that is only because of the fear that it might be a lingering painful one, and because of the inescapable instict of self preservation. even though i say that, i can't wait for my death. once i die, i'll finally find out what (if anything) is after death.
the way i see it, death is a win-draw situation for bored people. given the fact that i'm bored with this life, the afterlife would most likely be interesting, and possible pleasant, as a bonus. if there isn't an afterlife, and i just cease to exist, then i won't exist to be unhappy or disappointed. so, for really bored people, it seems like death is perfect.
