Why are Christians scared to die?

[scoobysnack]

I think fear of death is pretty instinctive. [...]

Yeah - disgust with faeces is "pretty instinctive" - and for good reasons, because we know, that eating sh*t - just like dying - is not likely to make our existence any better.

You can fool people into thinking, that sh*t is chocolate,  and you can force them to eat it, just as you can convince them, that after they die they will go to a "better place", but deep down - you all know it's bullsh*t (except the few crazies)... Which is why you're so hysterical about people, who refuse to call sh*t - chocolate, or death - everlasting life. Because you know they're right, but you're already scoffed down too much of it, so continuing with this hypocritical, pathetic charade is your only option to "save face" and people without excrement all over their faces make you look bad - so f*ck those kill-joys...

There are people who actually believe, that what the holy books say is true - we call them "crazy". They're the ones who diddle snakes, blow themselves up and otherwise happily risk their lives, convinced, that they'll live forever. The rest of religious people - you're just faking it, hoping that maybe one day your faith will become sincere, as long as nobody undermines it, by openly refusing to part-take in the consumption of the "chocolate log" and calling it what it is...

If you REALLY believed that sh*t was chocolate - you'd be happy, that some "dumb atheists" don't want to eat it - more delicious "chocolate" for you... If you REALLY believed that god and the afterlife are real - you wouldn't look around, before crossing the road. And you would laugh at people who reject religion just like smart people laugh at creationist idiots, or conspiracy nuts. But you don't "believe". You just "hope" - and that's a huge difference...

I know some soldiers that were in Iraq and in special forces. They don't say much because the government doesn't allow them to, or they feel they shouldn't, but they do talk. There's a saying that "there are no atheists in foxholes". Not completely accurate, but they have told me of grown men and soldiers breaking down and crying when they realize there is no way out, and they have to face death. They have been around people that they knew as atheists or at least claimed to be, but when confronted by sudden death freak the hell out and start praying.

Not saying that is evidence of anything in the afterlife, but when you are confronted by death it's a serious situation. What's the closest you have come to death? And don't give me some BS like your mom stopped delivering poptarts to you and your friends in the basement haha.
