Here are 5 reasons why not to be afraid of Death..
(1) If you die and no God/Gods exist, you simply no longer exist. It would be like sleeping. You wouldn't care anymore, so don't even try to worry about it.
(2) If there is a God/Gods, they are likely merciful and good. They aren't going to send you to Hell because of stupid things you've done in your life time. They are probably beyond what we know is right and wrong. So enjoy an after-life of free MMORPGS on the best computers with NO lag or downtime, and you can sit there for 1,000 years and level your characters, because it is heaven!!
(3) If there is a God/Gods and they punish us, well, we are basically screwed. But atleast we will all be in the same boat. I just hope I don't get punished too badly. ;P
(4) If we repeat our same lives over and over again, no point in worrying the same things thousands of times.
(5) If we are reincarnated, who cares? We won't remember it.
So don't be afraid of Death. Enjoy your life and don't worry.

I remember it. so nYAH!!
1) It wouldn't be like sleeping. When you are sleeping, you can still dream, and (well, at least in my case), a part of you is sometimes not sleeping, so you can always wake up. Death is just that; deadness. There is no consciousness. There is no brain pattern. It's just a stopping point.
2) I'm confident that even if He/She wasn't merciful, I would still be in the clear.
3) Read #2.
4) I doubt you would repeat your life exactly how it went the first time over.
5) Depends on your beliefs. While physically you wouldn't spiritually you remember that and ALL of your past lives. (At least, afaik)
Eh, fear of death is silly. I'm waiting for some scientist to find the cure for it and then we'll all be set.

Man, this place is a real downer lately.

I'm way to busy cutting myself to have this reaching out conversation.
I'm not afraid of death, I'm afraid of the feeling of my organs failing or my guts and muscles and/or nerves being ripped aprt, seared, crushed, or otherwise maimed...
plus.. ever been so drunk that everything is spinning and then you close your eyes and you have that fúcked up weightless rollercoaster feeling... well I hope that's not what dying is like... cause I can only take so much of that before I puke.

And that's the last thing you want before dying.
I mean, what will the neighbours say?!
It's like when your mum tells you to wear clean boxer shorts, cos if you wear dirty ones and get killed, then everyone will see that you wear dirty underwear and that would somehow suck, eventhough you've just died and your mum shouldn't really care about what the neighbours/morgue-man thinks.
Having said that, my mum has never said that to me, so I'm not sure why I bring it up, guess it's just one of those local legends, or urban myths, if you prefer, that everyone knows about but it never actually happened to themelves or anyone they know.

And that's why black boxer shorts are so useful

I'm honestly amazed that this thread reached 16+ replies without anyone suggesting that the OP should hasten the shuffling off of his mortal coil.

You are the most intelligent person I have met good sir, and you should be appointed to dictator of the world as soon as humanly possible. I don't know how anyone could see any flaw in your perfect logic that is beyond human analyzing.

I can't say it's the lamest thing I've ever read on the internet, it is the lamest thing I've read today.

Would you be opposed to clarifying yourself, rather then just demean what I typed?

Of course, when you die you lose bowel control, so even if you were wearing clean underwear prior to being killed/dying it isn't very likely that anyone would be able to tell.
