I view death as being similar to being put under for an operation. I can't say I remembered anything from the time I counted to three until I woke up. No dreams, no pain, no anything. If that's what death is like, then there isn't much to fear. Not that I'm in any hurry to get there......

There's a thousand ways to die ( they say ) any one of them could be very painful which is probably more what people fear. Is there an after life? Logic would tell me no. Think of all the major religions that are no longer around that also believed in an after life - it's hardly a new idea. Their mummys are on display in museums around the world. I guess since they were pagan they had it coming to them........

In time, if the human race is around long enough, every religion ever known will be replaced with something more convincing and more powerful by those more convincing and powerful, just as it has in the past, always has been, and always will be.

Here's another view/ analogy---
What we call "death" may be simply birth into another existence. Think of the parallels:
The one about to be "born" doesn't desire it. The fetus is quite happy in his home. he is warm, fed, and generally comfortable. What could possibly be better?
Yet after the pain of the birth process, the individual grows beyond what it could have imagined. Seen worlds not imagined. Had experiences, loves, learned--so many things that exceeded the mind of the fetus.
If death is like that--then the next world may be glorious, indeed.
