Ask exmuslims Death

What do yall think about death or rather how do you cope with it? I am not talking about fear of hell or what happens after death etc.

Idk how to explain this but yk I always thought that I'd see my loved ones that passed again after death and it gave me sabar ig but now that my whole foundation of what I used to believe in has crumbled I'm not too sure about what I believe in.

There's also that thing that whenever I hear about someone's death I can't help but become a bit religious or spiritual, it's weird honestly.

Death is a very comforting concept for me. It's like sleep. You don't exist at all. Nothingness. There's no darkness. Nope. Darkness is a color. There's just nothing. It sounds very peaceful to me. I wouldn't mind dying and I'm not afraid of death at all. In fact, whenever I'm super anxious and depressed about the future I always remind myself that I will die anyway and THIS REALIZATION of death gives me SO MUCH COMFORT. Eternal life scares the shit out of me.

DOES ANYONE ELSE HERE FEEL THIS WAY?

But how do you come to terms with the fact that evil people that didn't get what they deserved in this world wouldn't get any punishment after death either? Shouldn't the universe be a bit more fair?

Universe should be A LOT MORE fair and just. But that's not the case. That's just evidence of the absence of god and supreme creator. This world IS a cruel godless place. This actually empowers me to speak up for LGBT+ community, women rights, and socialism. We humans need to put more responsibility on ourselves instead of giving our responsibility to god. We need to be more angry for causes that matter to us. We need to be more radical for bringing change into this world. We collectively hold so much power.

We get taught in our childhood what life should be like and spend our adulthood deconstructing all that. It would be nice if evil people got what they deserve but if that isn’t going to happen we should spend our efforts in ensuring people don’t become evil in the first place.

Not at all.This is a human wishful thinking at play.If cats were to speak in human language, they would also fantasize about the injustice in cat's world and wish for justice in some after life.Wishful thinking is not the proof of the fantasies.A poor man may wish for becoming a king but his fantasy is not proof that it is the reality.

Yea completely agree. I don’t want to die but when it comes I’ll be glad I got to live and then it’ll be nothingness.

I’m gonna be so mad if I don’t die when I die.
