Spoken like a true coward. We all KNOW we're going to die eventually. Most of us have dealt with it, even though - from your naive and narrow point of view - it may appear, that we simply haven't thought of it. There are other - and more rational - ways of getting over the fear of death, than denying actuality of death entirely.
And since we're being morbid, let me make this "prediction": when you are about to die - provided it's not a sudden death - you just may figure out, that it is the actual end and that you have been fooled. It may be the last clear thought in your head. Who knows how many theists silently curse god with their dying breath? I'm going to assert, that it's many. And you can't prove otherwise.
