I mean we're taught to fear death, but why?

then you lack faith.
you're taught to not fear death.

Matthew 10:39
>He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.
The only ones that should fear death are the unsaved

Wrong

You Christians shouldn't be afraid of death. Aren't you all anticipating to see God's Kingdom?

Epicurus is godtier in every acpect, i wish the whole world followed the epicurian philosophy instead of this mindless commercialism

God makes it seem scary what with the whole eternal torture nonsense. Funny how the Devil doesn't send you to hell, God does.

its better than the "HEAVEN IS REAL" book that was selling like hotcakes in shartmart

We fear the process of dying, not death.

Nonexistance is what drives people nuts not the process of dying you pseud

wow, you totally disproved everything by calling it American. what masterful wit.

"nonexistence"

Stoics are essentially defeatists and leave everything to fate.

Doesn't drive me nuts, because I made my life purposeful. Pretty much the only thing that could scare me was being in a plane that was about to crash.

wow alpha as fuck or something
is this the chad version of "Eat Pray Love" and all those other roastie slogans that encourage peaceful to be blissfully stupid and self absorbed?

Protestant Christian are taught to fear God you idiot. Not death.

no wonder they were fags

wow you believe when you die you get teleported to another dimension where you live with all your friends and family

I wish I was European so bad why do I have to be an amerimutt and be with christcucks and brown people fuuuuuck

Epicureans saw meaning of life in pleasures of flesh. Death itself might not concern us until it comes, but we all live with the constant inevitability of our death and it's a rational responsibility to concern oneself with it.

This has nothing to do with stoics.

What did you mean by this? It's no misdeed to punish the evil. Not a Christian btw

Epicurus wasn't a stoic you tard

Yes, well, Protestantism was shaky foundation to begin with, wasn't it? Try a real theology.

Better than the Skeptics, I'll give him that much.

>Epicurus
>a stoic
Reconsider your life choices my man.

Yeah he was a hedonist technically but not past the removal of pain

I like uncle Joe's pragmatic approach.

>Implying Christ did not defeat death

You need to return to Germanic Paganism

No one will ever experience death.

Lol... Just discovering the stoics? You'll enjoy their work. You think he's bad wait until you break into meditations.

I refuse to accept this as a serious comment

No, it’s the opposite. Your brain and body naturally fears death because fearing and avoiding death is evolutionarily advantageous. You’re taught to not fear death. That’s one of the main reasons religion was invented.

Get this bullshit out of here, Swede.

It’s not bullshit though. All I said is true.

No, its not, evolutionary psychology is a step above palm reading in terms of how rigorous it is, and it explains nothing useful about human behavior, it just shifts the problem elsewhere and puts a science shaped stamp on it.

These days Epicurus teaches zoomers how to make ranch dressing

No, people take decisions that lead them to separation from God, which is hell by default.

Imagine hell is not torture. Hell is just separation of God, the fountain of All. What to do during non-dynamic eternity separated from God? Eternal boredom. That eventually becomes torture, not because demons are torturing you, but because it is the consequence of separation from God.

Why do you guys post this bullshit? Fuckin....BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA.
