Eh, because you might cease to exist?! That and the following:

And, finally, because it can hurt when happening and you might be conscious under the process...

No, If I die, I die, and that's that.

But all the things you enjoy doing in life? If death is the final point... You are never, ever going to kiss someone again, be with your friends or enjoy lovely spring mornings...

True, life has lots of unpleasant (or downright awful) experiences too, but still... Not being around and see what happens with the world or with people you know...

death doesn't scare me. pain does.

I fear the pain of dying. I want it to be quick and painless.

I want die without realizing I have died.

who knows, maybe scientists will deconstruct matter and/or create a black hole with a supercollider some day.

afraid? not exactly. I don't want to die, for sure. But the "OMG I am ceasing to exist" is not that strong fear for me anymore - since I've dreamed of myself dying, in a very realistic manner.

EDIT: a "small" mistake.

Tell Tuber that he can still hope. I still appreciate his a**, but "worship"? Shyeah, RIGHT!!!

For peace of mind, I'll give you a quote I mutter every time I jog/surf and feel like excruciating pain:

What do I care for your suffering? Pain, even agony, is no more than information before the senses, data fed to the computer of the mind. The lesson is simple: you have received the information, now act on it. Take control of the input and you shall become master of the output.

And yet you post at Apolyton! Great news indeed!

The thing is you're alive now and know that you won't be in the future...

Yes & no. I know I'll be with God after this life, but I don't want to leave my wife here alone.

Don't worry; she'll quickly find someone else! J/k!

Actually, I like that...

How can you be sure you'll be with God?

And no, cos when I'm dead I won't know about it...

I know it is totally contradictory, but I do kind of wish there was an afterlife just to show all the religious freaks in this world just how wrong they've been all their lives - kinda seems a shame not to be able to show them what suckers they are...

if there was an afterlife, wouldn't they be right then?
