How to overcome the fear of death?

Not liking the idea of death is very different than fearing it.

First of all, I don't think you know what an attack is. I expressed disdain for your response. Where exactly is this alleged attack?
Secondly, I was short with you because you didn't actually comment on all these good members valuable responses. You merely repeated how you dislike death, rather than actually taking one of our ideas and weighing in. You offer us no additional responses except to merely repeat ourselves. That is annoying.

I'm not "mad" at you. Your OP offers up a very legitimate point, and I was looking forward to an evolving conversation, not a bunch of atheists trying to give a sad guy a pep talk. We already knew you didn't like death. What a shock ... a human doesn't like the idea of saying goodbye to his loved ones. Well no shit Captain Obvious. Why do you think the christards invented heaven?

Lastly, if I say words like jesusfuckingchrist, no shit, god damn, holy fuck or any other expletives when I address you, that does not mean that I am blistering with anger. It may mean any number of things: Protest, boredom, mockery, exasperation, etc etc., in your case it was only meant as disappointment, as I was hoping for much more.

Now back to your OP ...
Death is a part of life and I think that if you are truly overwhelmed by the reality of your own demise than you should simply keep it out of your mind. I have found that people who constantly contemplate death are far more susceptible to bouts of depression and daily anxiety. That being said, I offered you up an option that does not involve religion whatsoever but might offer you a bit of peace of mind.
