If you have the choice of living forever would you? Also, would the concept of God be relevant if there was no death?

If there was no death,then this world would have been full of people:

what do you mean by choice?
do you mean to say, if in this hypothetical situation, I would have option not to live and die?
Concept of God will also be relevant in after life when there will be no death eventually.
If the world did not have concept of death, I am sure the dynamics of life must have been different. I can not fathom presence of evils in such a case, unless, there was some other ways of accountability. Such as lifting of people to heavens without them being dead for punishment on their wrong doings. God knows.
Amazing how taking out just death from the cycle of life in this world, messes up the whole belief system.
Re: What if there was no death?
may be it will overflow. people would have been falling in to space from all sides of the earth 
Re: What if there was no death?
Yes,just imagine all the dada par-dada were here and there had been a more than 100 people in one family.
Allah SWT has made a perfect world,people come people go hence the balance.

Maybe he means that only way to die is to finish your life yourself.

^ magar phir bhi wo to death hai na? And he asked what if there was no death .
Re: What if there was no death?
Assuming there still is aging:
The world would be full of senior citizens.
Most common surgery would be hip surgery.
Vast majority would be bald and toothless with artificial body parts or miserable painful life.
etc.**
Assuming the rate of birth being same:**
People would be falling over each other to get food.
Every other person would be Chinese.
There would be no mazar, graveyard, langar and free lunch.
In general;
No death penalty for apostasy. ;)
No lover would say: I will die for you.
No one will say: I will kill you if you steal my lunch. The person would say: Yeah right! Try me! :D
Rest you can imagine...
Now the concept of God.
The death concept has nothing to do with God presence or absence.
Re: What if there was no death?

I meant if you could live forever...would you (the question is w/o pre-conditions of what ifs)?

If there was no after life and living forever was an option, I would because once you are dead, you are gone in that case.

Re: What if there was no death?
life is like a movie...would you ever consider to watch a year long movie? i'm sure NOT! like movie, life will get very boring and will lose it's charms and lustre. agree?

Not agree. because if you compare life with a movie, then, life is just not a single movie. It's a store of movies. You don't get bored watching movies ever. You keep on watching new movies day after day because every movie is different. You do get boring movies every now and then but so do you get thrillers, comedies, feel-good and documentaries too :D
Re: What if there was no death?
Personally, if I could freeze my life at age of 25 (no aging :D) and everything around me (friends/family) stays the way its now I probably wouldn't mind staying alive forever...:)
Re: What if there was no death?
no...I don't think I would like to live forever.......but then again that's what we are promised in the afterlife, no?
waisay if there was no death the likes of Hitler would still be around.......
Re: What if there was no death?
Yes. The list could grow a lot longer.

and if death wasn't a concern, Hitler would be just another person, not a mass murderer. vut is praablam?
