Why do people fear death?

Thiefs would rather no police building existed, for obvious reasons : they know they'd qualify to get in there.

Now, quiet a few people say they do not believe in Hell, because IF Hell existed, they'd qualify to get in there. And obviously, it is not a type of future they'd like to plan for.

So, IF Hell was to exist: would you qualify to get there ?

It depends on what the qualifications were. I am a morally strict person, never committed crimes, never cheated on my wife or anything like that. Have I "sinned" before in life? Sure, who hasn't? But no, I don't think I would qualify for hell, were there a hell to go to.

Hell needs to get with the times; ...it needs a makeover.
Pitchforks and the like is so old school.
Is there a board of director's down there? Or are they all up here?
How about no smartphones; no SBUX, no Facebooking up to Heaven,... no safe spaces, mandatory Newt Gingerich lectures daily...etc etc

they fear the process of dying. Death itself is not feared

I disagree. The process seems less scary than the end result (but I'm 25 and speaking less in regards to a slow aged decline). The thought of not existing is a hard one to wrap your mind around and what I struggle with the most. The fact you as a person and your consciousness is a blank slate and gone forever (unless you believe in something after of course). On the contrary I guess you won't be around to experience it so won't make much difference.

What if we're all just part of some kind of advanced biological blockchain that was started by a superior multi-dimensional intelligence? Each human life a "block" in the chain (no matter how *great* or how *insignificant* their existence may appear) ...every being adding to a collective consciousnesses that is advancing over time.

...never know. Could explain things though. Makes more sense than organized religion. Of course I just damned myself to hell. :D
