Why this overwhelming fear of death? Let's not kid ourselves - it is that dread of death that forms one of the pillars of religion, and it's helped it maintain its power for centuries. After this life, lies nothing - non-existence. You are not aware of anything, for you have ceased to exist. Better to live a rich life than cling desperately to the hope of an eternal afterlife.
I do not fear death, nor do I fear the possibility of Hell if I am wrong. There is absolutely nothing I can do to convince myself of its existence without strong evidence to that end, which so far has utterly failed to materialise. So I do not fear that which is either fantasy or inevitable.
What I DO fear is the human mindset that first conceived of such a notion...and the mindset that upholds and enforces its idea. It's no fun to live in fear of such a thing without the merest hint of its existence. And it most certainly is not healthy.
