And while it's true that the bulk of existence happened without me, that's not really a comfort. I didn't have myself to lose. I wasn't moving from a state of awareness to nothing.I think most people are scared of death.... atheists, theists and everyone in between. One might think that theists would have much easier time with the issue of dying, particularly those who claim that they're absolutely 100% certain they're going to Disneyworld when they're gone. Yet, they fight against the death as much as anyone else. Deep down, I think they know that lights out means lights out.
So, yeah, it's scary. I can understand why theists cling to their beliefs in the face of logic.
