There are pros and cons to being a Theist,
and there are pros and cons to be being non-Theist.
I miss aspects of attending church, for example, even though I loathe religion.
I'm not scared of death.
What scared me more was the prospect of tragedy
...the idea that the one life we have might end up wasted or tragic, in some way, rather than full and happy.
But, in any event, you face it and make the best of it.
