Quote: I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it.
Mark Twain

Which answers to OPs question too. We don't worry about before we were born because we have no bad memories of it. This is because we were not.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
