"No" is the only correct part of your last sentence, no need to go further. Nothing bad will happen to you if you figure out this is it. You will still have ups and downs, and even bad things happen in your life, and yes ultimately you will die. What you DONT have to fear is is being tortured forever. Just like you don't fear being tortured by Allah or Pele or any Mayan god.
There is no sky hero there to promise you an eternity of ice cream and cookies, but there is also no sky bully there to beat the shit out of you for not kissing his ass.
There, is that simple enough for you? You aren't afraid of all the other god claims you rightfully reject so do yourself a favor and free yourself from your own needless illusion.
It wont kill you to accept your finite existence. You can still live your life and feel joy and love just like enjoying a movie or concert or book and all those things have an end too.

That is a lot of claims for someone who was shifting the burden of proof just a few minutes ago (out of context; I may also add).
Now it is my turn to ask why? What evidence or reason do you give for these claims?
Again sorry, but this is the same dodge everyone of every religion gives.
We are finite, sorry you don't like that. I am trying to help you escape your fantasy.
13.8 year old universe and you'd have me believe some old and unscientific book of myth explains shit?
Everything has a shelf life all the way down to atoms. Atoms cannot act like an entire in tact functioning brain. Break down the functioning highway into unusable pieces it will not be in tact. If you really think you survive your death we should expect to see neutral experiments where you could decapitate a human head, re attach it and have it function as if nothing happened. Same with our planet, all it would take to kill our planet and all life on it is a meteor or commit bigger than what killed the dinosaurs, like the commit that hit Jupiter a few years back.
The sun as well has finite fuel and it will burn out, collapse or expand and eventually die.
If you already reject rightfully the afterlife myths of other religions, even the pre life reincarnation and post life reincarnation myths of even Hinduism and Buddhism, as well as the afterlife myths of Jews and Muslims and the Ancient Egyptians then you should have no problem ditching even your own position.
You are scared of being finite. No I don't mean death, just not being around as a consciousness forever. I am saying there is nothing to be afraid of about not existing just like you are not afraid of what it was like 5 million years ago.
