People die. you might not really realize it even though you are aware of it is all.

people die. Thats the only thing in life that you can be certain of. You will die. Its not so shocking really when you think back on history. EVERYONE died! Imagine that. I promise, no one you know will be the first to not die. You WILL die. Me too and your neighbor, even your dog.

I thought paying taxes was a certainty too. Death and taxes, ya know?


If you've ever studied Catholicism, the Virgin Mary didn't die. (She ascended body & soul into heaven.) She is the only person in recorded history that I am aware of to escape death. (Whether you believe that or not is an entirely different matter, but that's what's written in the Bible.)

Yah, no shit everybody dies. And just because they do doesn"t mean that it isn"t hard to deal with. But I'm sure that you already knew that too. [/B]

If life were too easy, it wouldn't be worth living (kind of a strange statement, but i think you get the idea.. basically, what i'm saying, the good, the bad... its all important)

Anyway.. thats exactly why paradise/heaven/immortality would never work (im speaking religious wise, of course... but this is just IMO. as in, no, im not down with living forever in paradise under God's grace. I'm gonna make sure I can do all i can now).

Like Mitch said, Jesus technically died once, then came back from the dead 3 days later and went body and soul to heaven. He didn't really escape death in the way that the Virgin Mary did, he resurrected.
