It doesn't matter if everything ends, or if you're going to the fire, or sitting on a cloud with a harp, (personally the fire sounds like it would be a little more exciting, but I don't believe in that so I may not understand.) or even coming back in a new body. Death is a scary thing, and most people get scared because they think they are going to get killed or hurt. Getting hurt sucks, and I can only assume dying sucks even more. Jonathan, Death may be scary (though I do not fear death itself, more the implications that come with it: i.e. losing things I love, Pain, etc.), but it stems from our fear of the unknown, which is billions of times scarier than any one other concept. You could say our fears of everything come from it, and you'd be damned right (except maybe a fear of pain). Death itself doesn't scare me, though. I'm actually curious as to what comes after, but I like it here waaay too much to ever even think about finding out early.
