You know what else is out of our control? The ability to choose to live on after death in a heaven or not. We have no control over anything to do with death. Death is simply the end of biological function. Existence for us is temporary.
Some fear it, some don't. Some jump to wishful thinking like heaven as you have and some have accepted reality and that we'll simply cease to exist.
Live life as best you can, don't dwell on death or some afterlife. Most likely there is no such thing as an afterlife and death is completely unavoidable.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
