I remember going to a good deal of funerals when I was little, and knew clear and well that the people in these 'big shiny boxes with pretty blankets'- were not going to get up and make people stop crying, no one in my family explained 'death' to me, so I basically had to teach myself.

Cruel as it sounds I never cared about the body that was in the boxes I always wonder what came out of them, you see I had my own little concept of 'soul and spirit' but since I was a child I never knew what each was (in a specific sense), but I did know there was something, and that the body wasn't important at that time.

When I was 12 my brother died and I never cried at his funeral, I still had/have that belief that it wasn't him in the coffin he was/is somewhere else- a good place. ^_^

i miss him a lot

When I was in sunday school, and we learned about heaven I didn't believe in it. I was skeptic, so I told my friend to kill me, so when I died, God would say, "You were meant to die 100 years from now! Let's go back!"

But while I sat in the box waiting to suffocate the sunday school teacher saw what we were up to. Rats. Still skeptic up to this day.

I thought I was going to die when I was 4 - I had been on a preschool excursion and in those days they put your name and used a pin to attach it to your clothes... well my name came off so I put the pin in my mouth for safe keeping - promptly swallowed the pin by accident and was sure I was going to die - I cried and cried, at bed time mum finally coaxed out of me why I was crying "I'm *sob* going to die! *sob*" and she started laughing! man was I p-d off - did this woman not care? when I finally managed to tell her about the pin and she assured me that no I wasnt going to die.
That was a very traumatic day.

I believed that I died at the age of five. I was teasing my 3-year-old sister about something on Sesame Street and she got mad and killed me with a poker by the fire place. I believed that all the people in that reality mourned my death. And I just went on thinking that I was alive. I though that it happened like this for everyone all of the time.

As a child I used to believe that not so deep under the grave is just the underground cave when body lies, completly intact, and in regular suit, maybe a bit elegant and official. As I got learnt about coffins and the rest, I realized how "smart in other way" I was.
