Thanks. The last four months have been possibly the most significant time of my life. Hope everyone here is doing well also - even Mini. (Joke)

No. As long as I stay right with God those don't worry me. It doesn't change my opinion that unless you're totally sure that there is no God, you will be concerned about death.

Don't you think that's mighty presumptuous, given that (very likely) you only believe in that god in particular because it's the one most people believe in, where you live?
Geography of birth is not a very trustworthy measure of accuracy of a belief system.
I believe in the one creator God, who created everything that exists. Everyone who seeks him with a true heart will find him. Who he is is not our image of him because he is not comprehensive to the human mind. We only know him through his manifested attributes and his communication with us. We can know of God, but have different images of him. Nobody knows him completely. I believe Jesus is Emmanuel or "God with us" as Isaiah prophesied because God communicated that to me. I never stand pat, though, rather I stay open to God's leading, wherever that may take me in my belief.
