I can understand personally not being afraid of death, but the place you live doesn't make death less of a thing to be afraid of. The point isn't what happens to you after you die, but what your death is. Death of the individual, everything he ever did, everything he ever meant. At best he will remain a memory for the rest of his species, whom he willingly or not had to spend his existence helping and which will also die one day. His time is limited, his species' time is also limited. Life is meaningless to the Universe and the Universe is meaningless without someone to observe it.
