In all probability, you're wrong. I'll re-ask the question. Are you afraid of closing your eyes and never waking up again?
Are you afraid of being wrong? It's not like religion hasn't been wrong a hundred times before. Also it's strangely convenient how religion offers more life after you're long dead! Why can't it offer endless life right here? It's because it can't keep it's promises. Religion cannot alter the laws of physics.
Ace why would anyone be afraid of being dead, if you are right then dead is gone and nothing else. However there is a big difference in being dead and dying,this is what I'm talking about the conscious act of dying, this is what people fear. Now if I'm right then you should fear being dead because if you are not saved then hell is the next stop. Just to remind you I do not believe in a firey hell. The hell that I think exist is one in which you make your own suffering and you have no control over stopping it.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
