Yet sin supposedly sends people to hell,in the end we will all die,therefore you're saying we will all be punished to hell?And sickness? children get sick at birth? is it for their sins? Quite frankly life in general makes no sense,so just shut up and enjoy the damn song! Thoughts of a Living Agnostic about Dying Atheists and Muse. | Reviewer: Phil | 11/3/08 This song gives no insight into atheism, or the merits of religion. All he says is "it scares the hell out of me" -- not exactly profound or illuminating, you'd have to agree. As regards atheism itself, it is important to understand that without a notion of a life after death, you cannot experience death. Put simply, you cannot know that you are dead, so there's nothing to be scared of. It's impossible to imagine, since the one thing the human mind fundamentally knows is that it exists, but if you will, imagine how you felt before you were conceived -- nothing -- and it would probably be something like that. As regards the song...I'm not really a fan of Muse, and this hasn't done anything to change that. It's ordinary, unimaginative, and lacks the light and shade that better music exhibits. It's earnest, but monotonously so, which limits its effectiveness. The title sucked me in, because there are so many interesting things a dying atheist could think, but it doesn't seem that Matt Bellamy thought any of them. makes 100% | Reviewer: simple | 10/30/08 sense to me. im definitely wondering what death is like. i don't believe in god. i don't believe in heaven or hell. I believe in a better world and future for our kids. We borrow this planet from our future generations, we don't inherit it from our ancestors. and any god that can let a person who sins tremendously go to heaven because of faith vs. sending me to hell although I live my life helping others and the planet is not for me. burn me for eternity if thats the case. risterapi | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/30/08 "Honestly, if heaven and hell don't exist, that will really suck." You cant be serious. The thought of an all-seeing dictator watching your every step and THOUGHT is bad enough ok? I mean a lot of places on earth are actually places with a human dictator. But those poor people at least get out of it when they die! But no, not with religion. That's when the real fun begins, as a wise man once said. Give me a fucking break, noone is so damned scared of the thought of dying as the religious man. He is so damn scared that he force himself into believing that he wont. But is that really a comforting thought, if you really think about it? Get real. live free | Reviewer: Df_queen | 10/30/08 I don't want anyone to rule MY life, even God. Religion isn't a thing for me. Those maybe my thoughts before dying, I admit it, but I'm not really scared about it. If the after life is the nothing, I want it...we will all return to our mother earth. Great song, anyway! is that what you really think? well this is what i think | Reviewer: Dylan | 10/23/08 to chris thats what you asume honestly im not very religious but im not like "fuck you god" no but i would want there to be a heaven or hell after death im just terrified about it. if god made us not to believe him or not are you certain that any atheist, buddist, or jewish will go to hell because god made us that way its just it just confuses me in so many ways thats why i just choose to live on with my life to better myself just to live it my way and if you want to yell at me go ahead its just people depend on religion alot and i dont want to think about that all my life Completely true | Reviewer: shimmy | 10/19/08 As an atheist, this song perfectly sums up how I feel about death. I am completely freaked out about death. I don't believe in heaven or hell or any afterlife, my death is just the mind and memories of a person not existing anymore and then the body decays. I wish I was immortal. wow | Reviewer: Mikey | 10/14/08 As a Christian, I came across this song and I think this song is well composed musically. I haven't read all comments and I dont plan in doing so. But I, unlike other Christians, won't force my beliefs down your throat. Of course, I'll speak of what I believe and that's up to you to decide. Believe or not. I won't get mad at you or bash you or anything. Just know that there's a different lifestyle out there. Yet, this song, musically, is great. GENIUS! | Reviewer: squirm227 | 10/13/08 SUE, YOU ARE A GENIUS! Everyone, for the love of God (bad choice of words for what I'm about to say...) just SHUT UP about religions! You won't be able to convert people over the internet, so why bother? The majority are probably just 13 year-olds trying to piss people off because they are immature. Just please, shut up and comment about the AMAZING song? Go debate on a blog or something, just not here. answer | Reviewer: chris | 10/11/08 to liquidecstacy i am a christian and i might have some answers for you. try to understand where i am coming from. First, God does not defy science. He made science. He isnt subject to the laws of physics, time, etc., because he made them. he is an all powerful, spiritual being. what i mean by spiritual is another realm, like the physical realm. the worlds greatest physicists believe that other dimensions outside of our three do exist. God allows people to choose whether to follow him. If he did not, if we were programmed to obey him, we would not be able to truly love him, which is what he wants. Plagues, sickness and death occur as a result of sin. because we do wrong, because we go against what he says, we sin, and deserve punishment, which is death. Since God is perfect, he must also be just and punish what deserves punishment. God is not all-forgiving, but he forgives all who repent. He is just in this, because Jesus, who lived a perfect life, died, and took the punishment for those who do repent. Once again, God kicked adam and eve out of the garden for sin, and hell exists because there must be rightful punishment, because God is perfect and God is just. However, as before, God's goodness comes into play into granting us mercy in providing a way to escape judgment and return into a right relationship with him. God did not come from anywhere. Because we were created, and everything know is created, we can only understand things that have had a beginning. God is not subject to time, he is infinite. I hope this explains it; we wont really understand it until we die. As to everything else, God created it all.
