Perhaps it's Satan trying to fool us all.

Bad Satan.

Wonder what bike our Dark Lord and Master rides?

That isn't the case. And there's plenty of evidence that proves it.

That's the problem. There is no PROOF either way with religion.
If you could prove it was true, BELIEF wouldn't be necessary, and without belief, gods, and religions would cease to exist

Stabbing each other IN the a-hole. That's not cricket by any stretch.

Thanks for your replies. Some very useful, some funny, some trite, some bizarre - particularly vicc's. Next time I have a panic attack I'll grab my bible and my chest and think "oh brill here comes the next chapter."

Interesting thread !

Derek - how does this fear manifest itself ? Do you have to check 100 times that you took the coffee pot off before you leave the house ?? Do you sometimes take a picture of the coffee pot NOT on the gas so you don't have to turn around half way to work and go back to check ??

Don't worry, cos that's all PERFECTLY RATIONAL.

OK it isn't really but we all have our tics. But it does sound like you need to speak to somebody about this one.

Live your live, really live it. Spend time with your loved ones and friends, ride bikes, get p*ssed. Don't sit around worrying.

Yep. The more I see dying and death, the more I agree with this. Above all, I think what matters is not how or when you die, but how you live.

Make your life rich in experiences, worthwhile activity, love and care for others, have fun, and face all suffering with courage and dignity. Never stop growing and harbour no regret. And then whenever dying and death comes, it's merely sorrowful, but not harmful, and nothing to be feared.

When I feel like this the first thing I do is stop watching the news.

Strangely, it works for me.

I'm not suggesting that this policy will negate your anxieties, but quenching the constant torrent of bad news/death/failure/war/disease/health care neglect does make a real difference.

Vicc, I think Derek is ****ed up enough as it is without an imaginary friend to contend with.

maybe derek's fine, it's his imaginary friend that's the problem?

This^^

One day, you'll breath your last and when you do your life will probably flash before your eyes. Do you want memories of great rides, time with friends and family, great adventures, beautiful sunsets and the like, or would you prefer to remember all the time you spent worrying about what is happening now and it's still happening anyway?
