Why do we look at death as a bad thing?
#14
RE: Why do we look at death as a bad thing?
I do not consider death a scary thing at this point in my life. When I have kids, I will fear death big time. I will fear my death, not being able to provide for them or protect them any longer. I will fear their death for obvious reasons.

It is nice to say that once you're dead, nothing matters anyways so why fear death, but fear exists while you're alive, therefore it is reasonable to feel fear on account of death. Especially if you have people depending on you.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
