That's a lot of great existentialism but it doesn't really address the subjective fear we experience. You've offered your own feelings on the matter but I don't think they're an effective rebuttal to mine or Derp's position. If someone thinks death is nothing more than the gate to the greatest VIP after-party in existence then they're not going to think anything you've just said is true, and they won't be afraid of it either. Obviously, such beliefs are influenced by culture, religion, and nationality.
