If the next life is better, and belief is all that's necessary to get there, what is the purpose of this life? I hear Christians saying Jesus gives their live meaning, but what kind of meaning is striving to stay alive to avoid going to a better place?
Where are all these christians who are dying in fear? The christians I know are not afraid of death. I look forward to death, but not the process that leads up to it. It's normal for people to want to avoid the dying process.
