esp if you’re one of the devout ones who think they’ve been really good

    A fatal car accident is different. Could be a shock scare or just not wanting to be injured.

    Belief in god has no bearing in reality.

    Having said that, my grandfather outlived my grandmother by 10-15 years. On his deathbed, he was holding some marriage pictures. He was looking forward to seeing her. Guy believed 100%. Still makes me tear up thinking about it.

      “it’s different”

      No, if a test has no possible win outcome, then it’s not a true test.

      “Heads I win, tails you lose” is not proof of your ability to predict a coin toss.

        100% it’s different.
        Just because a movie has a jump scare it isn’t necessarily a scary movie. There’s a difference between some existential dread and ‘boo’.
        I’d argue that the accident is a startle response with body horror mixed in.
        Some people are scared of death. Doesn’t matter the cause. That’s what I’m talking about. It’s 100% different than a fatal car accident.

          By your logic, all Christians would commit suicide with a smile on their face.

          Stop trying to straw man with unrelated metaphors

            You’re starting to get it?
            That the true believers aren’t afraid of death. The believers that are scared at the concept of dying aren’t actually believers at all.

              You don’t get it. Your “test” is not a fair test. Your making shit up to justify your feelings. You’re either 14 and think that you’re smarter than the rest of the world, or your just really, really stupid.

              Either way I’m not going to continue arguing with a pigeon who thinks it’s playing chess.

                Resorting to insults when you can’t get your point across in a reasonable way. My bet is you’re a teacher.
