To quantify my vote, Beyond being a Christian, the more I examine the concept of death the less sense it makes. I once blew someone's mind by arguing that humans are a race of vampire zombies,but not in the classic Hollywood depiction.
I do not know what heaven is like, or what will happen after passing. As I have no control over that I don't worry about it. My life is a passage between point A the bed I was born in to point B the bed I (with luck) will die in. Between those points is the part I have control over and will therefore live it to the best of my ability. Albert Einstein said, only a life lived for others is a life worth while, that's true and it also makes your life more enjoyable.
To Welshcake, without going in to detail I can sympathise . The following have helped me at times, I hope you don't consider them to trite.
Your not mad, the world is.
If your walking through a shit storm, keep walking, there is always a break.
Fuck the past, tomorrows the future.
Every generation thought the world would end with them , they where wrong, we are still here.
In any situation look for the joke, finding it makes it easer to get through. But don't smile at funerals.
Keep your mind busy, don't dwell on the past.
If the problems with your mind, the solution is in your mind you have just got to find it.
A slave is only a slave so long as he thinks he is a slave.
And most important of all. Fuck it, I will worry about it some other time.
