I think that the only reason we die
is because we accept it as an inevitability.

3. Well, there is the anecdote about the 100-year-old man who
is asked for the secret of long life, and his answer is, "Don't forget to keep breathing."

5. That is actually sound advice, in a snarky way I'm sure...

36. Mary Baxter Eddy, Christian Science.
you die from lack of faith in Jesus Christ. sickness also comes from lack of faith, supposedly.

if you have enough faith in Jesus, you can be immortal on earth.


She still died.

probably had a moment of doubt :evilgrin:

13. I've heard that before
In fact there was a guy that planned on proving it, but said that he must have seen too much to not believe it.

Who knows.... I sure as heck don't but Mr. Filmore thought he knew.

39. clearly this is not the case
Many species of animals are not of the cognitive level to "accept death as an inevitability" and they all die even as we do.

Well I guess in theory amoebas never die, they just kept splitting.
