Is your belief in some form of afterlife based on your fear of death?

  1. Yes, I'm terrified.

    I do not, in anyway fear my mortality, not now, possibly at the time but i don't at this moment for i know that it is unknown and the reason people fear the unknown is because it is well...unknown but it is inevitible so why fear something that you know will eventually happen to you.It's to one extent i bit stupid and to another...slightly childish.
    People go there whole lives in fear of death and once they are finally faced with it they learn to get over it, but there are some people who like myself believe that such a thing is inevitible and to hope to not die when your time has actually come is nothing short of stupid.

    I'm athiest and i believe in something after death but it's not life again.To be honest whats the point in it, basically we're going through the same hell as before.
    Our lives are close as we can get to hell and if we can survive it and get to another life what will that even signify??The continued endever to live constantly? I don't believe in an afterlife but there is something higher after death, not some magic or pixie dust, but something...real...something beyond ourselves.

    Heaven and Hell are different forms of an afterlife. So you actually do believe in it.

    I'm not scared of death because I don't know what happens after it, I'm scared to leave everyone behind, or in case of someone else's death, being left behind.

    I don't believe in one specific afterlife, I'm pretty much open to anything. Maybe I just cease to exist completely, maybe I go in to Heaven, or if I play my cards 'wrong' to Hell. Maybe I'll be separated into fragments, and I'll be in Heaven, Hell, in non-existence or I've reincarnated all at the same time. We can't prove that any of these happen, so I'm not gonna bother worrying about something probably out of my control. There's enough in this life to worry about.​
