Why Fear Daeth?
by Rod Jackson

I am a Christian. As such I believe that when I die I will go to heaven and live forever in eternal bliss. So I do not fear death, actually I look forward to it. Don't get me wrong. I'm not suicidal, I love my life but I know that the next life will be better.

So if you are ....

a Christian you believe you'll go to heaven (eternal paradise) when you die, so why fear death?

a Christian you believe you'll go to heaven (eternal paradise) when you die, so why fear death?

a Hindu you believe you'll reincarnate when you die, so why fear death?

a Buddist you believe you'll either reincarnate or you'll atain Nirvana (state of perfect nothingness) when you die, so why fear death?

a Muslim you believe you'll go to (Islamic) heaven when you die, so why fear death?

an Atheist you believe you'll return to nothing (dust) when you die, so why fear death?

an Agnostic you glorify ignorance and think that you're not intelligent enough to discover the truth, so you may fear death.

So basically only agnostics and hypocrites (as they say they believe one thing, yet they fear death when they shouldn't) should fear death...
