in my religion death is  just the beginning of your REAL life. because while you were living you were being tested on which of your good actions outweigh the bad . that determines whether you go to hell or heaven . heaven or hell is the real deal . i worship the religion of ISLAM!

Maybe because of a belief in god and the ultimate wisdom of one god.  Any faith usually helps people cope with death.  Because when there are mysteries like this, faith helps.  A community of friends (temple etc.) can be a support system.  A ritual (funeral) helps people cope.  It is a path one can use.

People fear death regardless of their religion, because deap down they know their religion is a lie.

not only family.\njust everybody , life is just too short to hate just anybody.\nwe get hurt and in pain we forget that sometimes we are hurting others too. \nthere is too much pain in everybodies life to give them more. all we have to do is provide support to a crying person and love everybody. cause a person hurt before only know how much it hurts.\njust love everybody - no hatred for any reasons.

We start dying as soon as we are born. I think death is a part of life and one has to accept it. I had a close call with death thrice in my life but still never have nightmares about it. I am not scared of death nor do I invite it. All I know is that I will accept it peacefully when it comes. If I do expect something in my life related to death it will just be a peaceful and painless death. Something like dying in a moment without suffering with the pain for long.

I am a Christian, so I know where I'm going after I die, and I do look forward to it.  I do not fear death.  I love life, don't get me wrong.  I'm glad that I didn't take my life when I thought I had nothing left to live for.  Life is worth the living, but once my body dies, I'll be in a better place, one where there is no sadness, no tears, no more pain.

I think that everybody has a fear of the unknown and obviously death is a huge unknown! The thought of death frightens me to an extent but I also have hope of an after life with God so in a way it is kind of like having something to look forward too! Hey plus we all get to reunite with old loved ones dogs, Grandpas you name it!

The existance of an afterlife is something I am so not qualified to answer, since I have only known this one.  I'd hate to burst peoples' bubbles, but i doubt there is a heaven or hell.  So call me a heathen, whatever, I surely believe in some divine creator... But the reason humans invented such ornate tales is to firstly keep people in line.  People do good and hope for reward.  Secondly, they believe so that the loss of a loved one can be comforted.  I feel that people should find their comforts in other ways.  Death is not a tragety really.  People want something to look forward to.  Thirdly, some might say arrogance; that humans are somehow above all other lifeforms and part of them lives for all eternity.  The forth reason people believe in an afterlife is fear.  Death is one of the most feared things, along with pain and failure.  Why is it feared?  Because no one truly knows what happens.  That's why people might cling to religious descriptions, which are also rather vague and hold few actual details.  So, believe whatever you wish my friend, but there's my two cents.

People tend to say they hate things that they dont know anything about because they are scared.  They fear it because it is different from how they are and they dont know it, so its scarey to them.

People who don't like others because they are different are ignorant. People often fear what they don't understand, and ignorant people only like others like themselves because they understand and can relate to people similar to themselves, but those that are differnt because of lifestyle, race, language ect. they don't understand and there for fear. Of course they don't say that's why they dislike someone, or a group of people, but that is why. These type of people are not to be hated for their ignorance,they should be pittied, because they live sad scarred, small close minded ignorant angry life, surrounded by other sad pathetic close minded ignorant people just like them:-)

The simple truth is, Jason, that human beings must have something to hate.  It is in our nature, unfortunately.  Devout Christians hate the devil, White Supremacists hate anyone darker than they are, the enslaved hate their enslavors, and the warmonger hates peace.  \nOur first emotions toward that which we do not understand are, and always have been, suspicion and hatred.  As cave-people, when we found our possessions, (food, women, shelter) in danger...we felt fear.  We hated the feeling of fear.  The source of that fear/hatred was the unknown predator.  We unleashed our hatred upon the predator, vanquished him/it, and the fear subsided.  It evolved from that.  I'm not saying that I, as a Patriotic American, believe in cruelty or hatred.  I'm simply stating, as an unfortunate fact, it's existence.\nConsequently, I wish peace for you.

Well, I think there is a natural desire to survive and that is instinct. I also believe that most people, even the most devout Christians doubt the existence of Heaven deep in their hearts. Also, most people love their famalies and want to be with them. Father or Mother feel they need to do the best to raise their children, and that would require them being alive. No one wants to lose their children, and the only thing I don't understand is why do Christians want to keep brain dead people alive and let them suffer instead of going to Heaven.

It is human nature to try and cling on to the life that we possess, indeed as humans we often value human life above all things.\n\nBut to God, our lives here are short and only one stage of his plan for us. As Christians we believe that Gods plan for us all includes something far greater than our life here, on earth.\n\nBeing dead tomorrow is not something we should fear, as death is just one step on the journey that God wishes us to take, and he watches over us throughout all of that journey.

because you haven't accepted yet the death is part of the cycle of life.\n\nthere's nothing much to fear about death, in fact it relieves us of the wordly chaos and pain (dont get me wrong, i am not suicidal). death is a God given gift.\n\nProbably the thing that you are scared of is the manner of your death. you fear that it will be a painful one.  death also gives us the anxiety of what will become of our loved ones long after we're gone.

I am not afraid of death just of having a painful death that I am conscious enough to experience.  Death is just a part of life and you waste life worrying about something that you can do nothing about.  It comes to everyone and if you think about it would you want to live forever after all the people you know and love are dead and unless you have eternal youth  you are going to have a body that gets older and older and more broken down and prone to disease or injury.  Live life in a way that can in some way help other people  Find the Lord and follow him and you have nothing to worry about when it comes time for you to leave this world\n\nI am not afraid to die because the love of my life is waiting for me along with other dearly missed loved ones
