(In Atheism because the existence of a enduring soul doesn't automatically prove a god or gods exist.)

The Christians I've known were very consistent in being afraid of death, because, I suspect, they didn't know if they were in the correct camp regarding whatever god was "on the other side of death". This has since made me wonder how they would act if they knew they'd "make it safely out of this world". More reckless? More smug? More placid?

Additionally and not necessarily part of the above, what if we create our "next life"? Would we create a Heaven or Hell? Or both?

I am afraid of death. Just not afraid of not existing, there is a difference. I am not afraid of my pre life either. I am afraid of prolonged pain and a slow death. I am afraid of missing my friends and loved ones, and them missing me. But I am not afraid of being finite.

If life didn't evolve to avoid danger, we wouldn't look both ways when crossing a busy street.
