    I'll be thinking "whelp, I'm dead" for 3 minutes.

    I can attest to perception of time being a trippy thing. When I was a child I had this thing where I would pass out after getting injections. It is apparently pretty common. Anyways, when I was 11 or 12, I hadn't done that in a while and was walking out of the Doctor's office with my Mom. I had just had some sort of injection and thought I was fine. While she was paying the bill, I passed out. My Mom sort of caught me and took me to the floor. I woke up almost immediately she said, maybe 5-6 seconds. While I was out I had an entire dream that we were on vacation for about a week and we were in the middle of a white water rafting trip when I woke up on the floor of the Doctor's office not knowing where I was. So 5-6 seconds passed out = like 4-5 days of vacation.

    I was never under the impression that death wasn't going to suck. Understanding better how it's going to suck probably doesn't help any.

    Death by definition it will not suck... because you'd have to perceive it to judge it.

    Dy-ING, yeah that's going to suck. Dieing in my sleep unaware is on my bucket list.

    I could have told everyone that your soul never dies. It is eternal.

    The hypnotic power of positive thinking

    It would be terrific to believe that right up until you died, after that it wouldn't matter either way.

    As Dubious has stated, it's nothing more than wishful thinking.

    Why do we need scientists if this guy knows all the answers?

    You're not "completely" dead at 3 mins...try again "science" :rolleyes: Lemme know what the afterlife is like after being "dead" for a day or 2...nobody will be able to because you're like...dead and stuff.

    Obviously, people here don't like this answer. But, I'm going to put on my Christian hat for a second. For the Christian, death means being reunited with God in Heaven for eternity where there is no more sin, no more suffering and death, and generally sounds like a pretty positive experience. There's some denominational dispute as to whether you'll go immediately to heaven or you'll be dead awhile and resurrected at the Second Coming, but it may not matter here. Assuming all that's true, how do you suppose those couple of minutes of dying and being dead go? There's probably some suffering as you are dying, but once you are in cardiac arrest and your brain cells are quickly perishing from lack of oxygen, do you suppose you have to experience all that, from a Christian perspective? Or are you too caught up in the Glory of God?

    There are many near death experiences where people go to Heaven for a few moments and are told they have to go back even if they do not want to. There are also some where they people who are not saved have very bad experiences (if you know what I mean) and they usually become Christians once they are ok.

    Do they have to go through Customs on the way back from Heaven?

    You last for 3 minutes with your left hand. And that's why you're here spewing garbage all the time.
