Why does everyone want to go to heaven but no body wants to die?

Fear of the unknown! Many believe in a heaven but they are not sure they will actually go. Remember you can Only get to heaven if.... and the list of ifs is long for many religions.thought. So they rather stay here as long as they can. Me? I never thought I would get to heaven so I never tried. And yet I was ready to die at a minute's notice.So not Everyone doesn't want to die, or assumes they will go to heaven.

I think it's because "true believers" deep down, must think it's all BS, otherwise they would be queuing up to go to their God. ...surely?

Could it be that we were made to live on earth? Psalm 37:29 Young's Literal Translation (YLT) 29The righteous possess the land, And they dwell for ever on it. Matthew 5:5 King James Version (KJV) 5Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.

spiderlizard22..we are programmed to fight for survival. However, I think there are many who are ok with dying either because of age or illness but they have a sense of knowing things should happen in a natural way.

some poeple afraid to die its because they think that they will never be alive again. dont think that you will enter heaven if you are not worshing god and worshiping god means fallow his law and avoid what is bad if you think that you are not avoiding bad and you think that you are not fallowing the law of god dont expect that you will go to heaven. but if you think that you are fallowing the law of god so expect you will enter heaven its because the promise of Allah will never be broken.

Its been said that in Heaven we get to sit at the feet of God! Remember that heaven is forever, and think how much fun it would be sitting at the feet of God forever. I'd much sooner go to Hell where you get to shovel coal. At least there would be something to do!

Everyone want to go to paradise thro' flying not dying, if heaven is as real as Australia. It will be a lot easier to go to heaven this way than the traditional way.

Well, life is a rut that we've become rather accustomed to. Even when its a bother its a familiar place. Heaven, on the other hand, is a questionable existence. We know its a neat place to be but we don't know how so. We can speculate on it but we just don't know for sure..Being the kind of critters we are..Let me put it this way..Have you ever known someone in a bad situation who complained about the situation(s) but refused to push beyond it? And you think they're bonkers, right? They're not bonkers. They're human. We're critters who are comfortable in our knowledge and we find pleasure in our dreams and when we throw our emotions into the batch those emotions sometimes works against us and we grab desperately to what we should be willing to be loose of and become hesitant to reach for what we need pursue. Personally, I look forward to heaven. There is, however, another option that makes me back away..the lion and the lady kind of thing..shrug..Enjoy!

We will all die in time. But for as long as we're alive we shouldn't be asking to die. We should live the life that God has given us and when the time is right, we will die. It's not that I don't want to die to go to Heaven but it's not the time yet for me to die. When the time to die is here, I hope to die in peace.

The whole concept of heaven helps with the fear of dying. People are still afraid of dying but someone who believes they are going to heaven might be less afraid to die than someone who believes they are going to hell. Also people cherish their life and dont want to loose it even if you are in heaven you cannot be with your family and friends who are on earth all the time as if you were alive.

I think most people freak out with the idea of dying because we have a billion ways of dying, only sleeping is painless now a heart attack, a stroke and so many deaths are really painfull and I'm sure is terrifying. I'm glad we are far from times of torture and hanging, LOL, I'm sure people freaked more in the past.

I think the main reason for why we don`t want to die is that we are not sure that place really exists.Plus there is another place where most of us will go and it`s not such a nice place

I don't know but you're absolutely right! I don't want to die, but I know it will someday happen! I do want to go to Heaven but I don't want to end everything I've worked for, here on Earth. It's for the better though because Heaven is filled with riches and prosperity, according to the Bible! God says we shouldn't be filled upmon the greed and the wealth of the world because it is sinful and evil, but hopefully online earnings aren't because I'm not wealthy with them!

I think that is just built into our human make-up because we are meant to spend time hear, to learn, before our time is up. If no one was afraid of dying, we would all kill ourselves and never come back!

I think that a lot of people worry about whether they will go to Heaven or not. As we get older, we begin to think about everything that we might have done wrong during the course of our lives which may have contributed towards us going to Heaven or not. In addition to this, a lot of people might worry about what their families will be like when they die, and whether they would cope or not without them. I know that I worry about this a lot, so this might be one of the main reasons why a lot of people don't want to die either.

Who said everybody wants to go to heaven? I want to stay alive as long as possible and enjoy life!

It is still clear in my mind when my mother talks about heaven. She always that paradise is place where we are living now. The form of paradise is happiness. To make people happy is a heaven deeds. Your happiness is paradise. So, you don't have to die if you want to know what heave looks like. You will feel the glory of heaven if your body, mind and soul are still united. Then when of theses element fall out, your happiness could not be ever complete. So, live happily as long as you could and that's your paradise.
