Everybody naturally fears death when it comes knocking. What I reject is the idea that this fear is the reason people believe in Jesus, and that Christianity provides some kind of immunity from it. Jesus himself, in the garden of gethsemane, famously prays wanting to avoid the death and suffering he was about to endure, and then proceeds to die in the most horrific way possible. Christianity isn't the religion to join if you're trying escape the fear of death.
