Is ceasing to exist really such a bad thing?

You again very well articulate a Buddhist sentiment, mainly that All Life is Suffering and that Nirvana is a release from that suffering. Not something I believe, but it is commonly held. Now if the ones you leave behind believe likewise you need not worry.

yes it is a bad thing !

i believe living without God in unholy darkness or outer darkness would be too painful for souls that are meant to live eternally.

in judgement there is spirit prsion and tarterous. there can be paradise and heaven. but if a person is stubborn not to receive it. what else is God going to do? he will resurrect the dead from hell, and send them to the lake of fire where they will have the second death and thereafter be cast out into outerdarkness.. i doubt there is even a prmise of a huge party in that place.

The only thing that sucks is that people in the future will most likely be able to read everything their ancestors wrote on the internet. Who knows, they might even figure out time travel and see our daily life right before their eyes. But for sure, they'll see our ancient Facebook updates, pointless twitter postings, stupid blog ramblings, Yahoo answers, and every other pointless thing we spent time typing. That would be a sad way for them to remember us.

its not a bad thing its just not true

god tells we do not cease to exist

we will all live for eternity we were created that way

This is why I don't fear death. By the time I'm dead, I won't exist to care anymore.

your expecting living people to answer this question?
